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.

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 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.

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).

This essay examines American missionary Samuel I. Woodbridge’s 1896 rendition of the White Snake legend, The Mystery of the White Snake, in the context of his missionary and diplomatic endeavors. It argues for a close reading of the English text as a contribution to the White Snake repertoire, both in its literary qualities and in its articulation of the idea and practice of love and empathy. Woodbridge’s intention of using the White Snake text to reveal the danger of the Chinese popular mind and to critique the Buddhist doctrine of transmigration and its outdated practice of “animal worship,”

Korean religion and folklore are abundant in legends and beliefs about the serpent. Cheju island is a particularly precious source of information about snake-worship, not only because its relative isolation from the mainland enabled it to preserve certain beliefs longer than the peninsula, but also because its distinctive, indigenous culture gave rise to a peculiar belief-system by adopting elements from the outside world. We also have more information on the snake-lore in Cheju due to the accounts of Confucian officers delegated to the island and, more importantly, the body of specific shaman
