Über diesen Titel
Explore the world of Hungarian Paganism with this book's impressive collection of history, lore, and traditions from the Carpathian basin. The Hungarian people, also known as the Magyars, fused pre-Christian and Christian beliefs into their identity, and that fusion remains today. Exploring mythology, daily life, magic, and life passages, this book reveals the old ways of Hungarian practitioners.
Margit Toth introduces you to many aspects of the Magyar cosmos, from the creation story to homestead practices. Among many other topics, you will learn how to aid a restless spirit, what magical properties the Summer Solstice bonfire has, and why you should never wash clothes on a Tuesday. This book provides insight on ancestors, nature spirits, sacred foods, healing magic, divination, and even death.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I did miss some myths or entities I'd heard about elsewhere, like the children of Arany Atyácska (the golden father/ Isten) and Hajnal Anyácska (the dawn mother): Hadúr, Napkirály and Szélkirály, or the myth where the son took seeds out of the sea which became the magyar (i believe the word for seed and eyes was related), or the elemental spirits (man & woman of fire/water).
While the creative practitioner might be able to gleam some ways to adapt these customs or beliefs to their modern life, this is likely easier for dual-faith practitioners or Christian witches judging by how this is how most customs survived today. I do appreciate more historical context to these customs where it applied, but I had expected there to be more talk of modern practitioners of these magical or folk practices. Margit briefly noted exactly this during the conclusion regarding her own life, but I think this could've deserved its own chapter to complement the rest and round it out beyond mere interesting information. To get more ideas how one might explore that for themselves (or where to find the people who do with the examples of certain terminology they might use for it). I suppose one might more easily do this having the text edition in front of them than the audio, being able to see some of the terminology mentioned throughout in written form, and it's in no a critique on the value still held within this book, just a wish I myself had while listening to this book. I do think I've been convinced to purchase a print copy for my personal collection despite having already listened to the entire book once, to help me further explore as I try to rediscover the culture of my great grandmother which she sadly didn’t share with us here in the Netherlands.
Margit. Hála neked, rengeteget tanultam!
Very nice book but I had expected something more... tangible.
