Recently I was talking to one of my friends who is a member of my mentorship and he was interested in shamanism.
It is a very interesting subject related to (meybe even at the origin of) middle-age witchcraft.
I have read a lot on this subject but I have to recommend two wise men who wrote fascinating books on this subject: Eliade and Mercier.They are rare things for the English speaking world and that`s makes them even more interesting for you I guess.
Ştiţi voi ce ştiu femeile-strigoi?:
Că-n timp ce ele visul ni-l adapă,
Mândreţea lor în visul nost´ se-ngroapă.
Şi nu ne iartă, meşteri mari!, nu iartă!
În zidul dărâmat, în bolta spartă
E semnul crunt al răzbunării lor!
You know what vampire women know?
That while our dream they`re watering,
their splendor slowly buries in our dream.
And they will not forgive, great masons, won`t forgive!
Deep in the crumbling wall , in broken vault,
there stands the awful sign of their revenge.
(a fragment from the play
Mesterul Manole/Master Manole by Victor Eftimiu)
