Paganism in Romanian Folklore 1928

1928. In his youth, the author prayed to the moon, accompanied the procession of the bride-goddess to the various fountains and often wore a disguise for the ritual dances. No doubt faded remnants of such pagan usages linger in other parts of the world. Beza tried to correlate some of these with the Romanian customs, though casually, not because he did not appreciate the comparative method; on the contrary, he added a chapter on Scottish and Romanian ballads, which is little else but a study in parallelisms, and which shows of what advantage such a method might be. Illustrated.Beza, Marcu is the author of 'Paganism in Romanian Folklore 1928' with ISBN 9780766157859 and ISBN 0766157857.
