Abstract:
This article aims to investigate the figure of the serpent through some of the most widespread myths and legends in various cultures. The study starts from the presence of two knives with ophidian motifs in the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology in Florence. The snake can in fact be seen both as a treacherous and diabolical animal and as a symbol of rebirth and wisdom. The presence of snake motifs in knives of different origins, in addition to responding to aesthetic criteria, is closely linked to widespread traditions, mythology and rituals found in many cultures around the world.

Abstract:
The religion and mythology of any nation cannot be understood apart from its historical context, and mythology represents the cultural background, beliefs, and thoughts of different nations. The relationship between humans and animals, as well as humans and gods, has been of great importance in various myths and legends. Many nations have great value and religious sanctity. The people of India and Egypt worship Gaura as God, and still, the cow is a valuable creature; eating its meat is forbidden and cursing this animal is a crime.

The aim of the article is to demonstrate how legends may exert influence upon the character of cult and how different may be the comprehension of a religious object by people-carriers of one or another tradition. The convent Jarah-hekim St. Mother of God serves as an illustration for the long lasting and and changing tradition affecting worship and folk representations and living even after the extinction of the material object (the church) around which that tradition has arisen.

The fairy-tale “Stones of Mteulety” by A. Remizov is an author’s fairy tale created on the basis of a folklore plot recorded in the Caucasus in the in 1915, and was first published in 1916 in the magazine “Ogonek” (“Spark”). A. Remizov related this fairy-tale to Georgian fairy- tales. Despite the noticeable influence of literary legends, A. Remizov retained the folkloric basis that reveals the ideas of the primitive man about the process of the soul’s transition “to that world”, to “the other world”.

Abstract:
The Volga Travelogue is a large layer of travel essays in the 19th-century Russian literature. This layer has not become a subject of special research in literature studies. The “journey along the Volga” is distinguished by the wide diversity of issues and themes it discusses: the economic and industrial activities of the region, its cultural and historical sights, the uniqueness of the Volga region in an ethnographic perspective – of the multifaceted “Volga region resident”. One of the structural components of the travelogue is the Volga mythology and folklore: historical-geographical and cul

Abstract:
The article examines the names of Lithuanian stones regarded as sacred and the legends associated with them. Researchers estimate that there are approximately 500 such stones in Lithuania. Popular beliefs link many of these stones with pagan deities and Christian saints, attributing to them the abilities to move, speak, teach, heal, advise, lend money, and even form families and have children. Evidence of stone worship during pagan times is reflected in their names, which often reference both chthonic figures and Christian saints, and may also be associated with the names of animals and people

Abstract:
In world folklore, both the Myth of the Snake-woman and the motive of the birth of “wonderful children” from half-humans-half animals are widespread. Melusine is a fairy, a heroine of a folk tale of Celtic origin. Often depicted as a female-snake or female-fish from the waist downwards, sometimes with two tails. The Legend of Melusine goes back to the mythological motif of the “sacred marriage” of a chthonic being with a celestial deity, which was then transformed into the fabulous motif of the “wonderful spouse” (AaTh 400-459).

In this dissertation I examine the role played by the ancient Near Eastern serpent in apotropaic and prophylactic magic. Within this realm the serpent appears in roles in healing and protection where magic is often employed. The possibility of positive and negative roles is investigated. The study is confined to the Bronze Age in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Syria-Palestine. The serpents, serpent deities and deities with ophidian aspects and associations are described. By examining these serpents and deities and their roles it is possible to incorporate a comparative element into his study o
