Paganism in Romanian Folklore is a book written by Beza Marcu that explores the traditional beliefs and customs of the Romanian people. The book delves into the ancient pagan practices that have been passed down through generations and are still present in Romanian culture today. It covers various topics such as the worship of nature, the role of the gods and goddesses, and the use of magic and spells. The author also examines the influence of Christianity on pagan beliefs and how the two have merged to create a unique cultural identity. This book provides a comprehensive look at the rich history and traditions of Romanian folklore, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the subject.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.
