2023-07-10 19:08 dr-sweets oh ok
2023-07-10 19:08 rev_art Honestly hoping to have @balkandiviner14 back for a part 2!
2023-07-10 19:08 phyllismargretgabor oh no kidding. that's why i couldn't call in
2023-07-10 19:08 reverendjames We will do periodic timestamp call outs so everyone can keep up
2023-07-10 19:09 trollt Thanks.
2023-07-10 19:09 rev_art Due to the difficulties of international calling we did a recorded show and are live in the chat!
2023-07-10 19:09 balkandiviner14 That would be great @rev_art
2023-07-10 19:12 reverendjames Current time stamp 11:25
2023-07-10 19:14 reverendjames If anyone is lost, please just type "TS!" And weโ€™ll do a timestamp call-out for anyone that has to refresh or is behind.
2023-07-10 19:15 trollt TS

2023-07-10 19:17 trollt TS
2023-07-10 19:17 rev_art TS 16:57
2023-07-10 19:17 trollt missed the show to this point, my own sound problems, thanks.
2023-07-10 19:18 reverendjames No problem!
2023-07-10 19:18 rev_art TS 18:00
2023-07-10 19:18 rev_art WELCOME @jaydeehoodoo !
2023-07-10 19:18 jaydeehoodoo hello everyone
2023-07-10 19:18 balkandiviner14 Welcome Jaydee!
2023-07-10 19:18 jaydeehoodoo sorry I am late!
2023-07-10 19:19 jaydeehoodoo Thank you @balkandiviner14
2023-07-10 19:19 trollt Now on track.
2023-07-10 19:20 reverendjames Hi Jaydee - this show is prerecorded - we are just after 18 minutes. We are doing timestamp call-out and if you get lost just type TS!
2023-07-10 19:20 trollt I'm at 20:00 so i may be ahead of y'all.
2023-07-10 19:20 phyllismargretgabor I'm like 20 seconds late but it's fine. this is fascinating
2023-07-10 19:21 reverendjames Oh Yea I'm sure we will all be 30-60 seconds off from one another - but luckily everyone from the show is in chat and able to answer questions for anyone at any point!
2023-07-10 19:24 rev_art Personally, I love this perspective. We're so afraid on many levels to "come out of the broom closet" depending on where we live because of the fear of repercussion...it's a dream to be able to just go to the store and not have to worry about that. We should all be embraced for our differences.
2023-07-10 19:24 trollt My first question (sorry if this was already covered) is why was this pre-recorded rather than live?
2023-07-10 19:25 rev_art International calling, there wasn't a way to connect to BTR without major cost.
2023-07-10 19:25 reverendjames For BalkanDiviner that is.
2023-07-10 19:25 trollt Oh ok, thanks.
2023-07-10 19:25 balkandiviner14 I've had difficulties directly calling and my schedule is also becoming busier. It would have been better if it was live but I hope it's not that bad in this format :)
2023-07-10 19:26 dr-sweets My audio download at the end will be at least 5 min off. Do you have the pre-recorded show link from the past?
2023-07-10 19:26 phyllismargretgabor it's still good. we all are ready to go to Romania now
2023-07-10 19:26 rev_art This is the first airing tonight @dr-sweets, it wasn't a replay.
2023-07-10 19:26 dr-sweets oh ok
2023-07-10 19:27 reverendjames Dr sweets - the audio file should pull directly from the server. You should be able to get the entire show
2023-07-10 19:27 dr-sweets oh ok
2023-07-10 19:27 rev_art I'm seriously hoping to visit Romania, truly!
2023-07-10 19:27 reverendjames It should be available now actually - you can download and check during the show :). If you have any trouble, let us know by the end and we can try to get you the show another way.
2023-07-10 19:28 balkandiviner14 Hora= a Romanian traditional dance held on Sunday
2023-07-10 19:28 trollt post-sponsor beginning here 27:45
2023-07-10 19:28 balkandiviner14 a symbol of unity and strength, continuity
2023-07-10 19:29 trollt Traditional dance: "holla"?
2023-07-10 19:29 balkandiviner14 Fat frumos= beautiful lad/boy, the stereotypical hero of our fairy tale
2023-07-10 19:30 balkandiviner14 It's spelled "hora"
2023-07-10 19:30 reverendjames 28:51 - Hora - Balkan Diviner is a bit farther along than you Trollt
2023-07-10 19:30 dr-sweets @reverendjames: I will wait. It briefly logs me out when I do the audio download. I gotta do the chat first then the audio else it cuts off parts of each. Well thatโ€™s been my experience so far.
2023-07-10 19:31 reverendjames We will hang around for you Dr. sweets :)
2023-07-10 19:31 dr-sweets oh ok
2023-07-10 19:32 balkandiviner14 nefรขrtat= enemy, it's a traditional name assigned to Satan
2023-07-10 19:32 trollt Yes, much of hoodoo is Protestant, so Virgin Mary is not as emphasized by them.
2023-07-10 19:32 trollt Some of the Catholic hoodooists do petition Mary.
2023-07-10 19:33 trollt The Devil as servant rather than equal: common with Judaism (Job: Satan angel).
2023-07-10 19:33 reverendjames @balkandiviner14 thank you for posting these! I love languages
2023-07-10 19:34 balkandiviner14 martisor= a custom held at the beginning of March, boys (but in other regions also girls) offer a special thread colored in red and white to their classmates of the opposite sex "paparuda"= a Romanian traditional dance organized to summon the rain, it has pagan origins
2023-07-10 19:34 trollt Summoning rain: 'paparuda'?

2023-07-10 19:35 jaydeehoodoo The costumes sounds cool
2023-07-10 19:35 dr-sweets We need to interview trollt about the whole Satan thing. That would be interesting.
2023-07-10 19:35 rev_art @trollt has an open invitation to come on the show at any time!
2023-07-10 19:36 dr-sweets LOL great!
2023-07-10 19:36 trollt Thank you kindly! I will schedule that soon now that the VHHF and our model train convention have completed.
2023-07-10 19:36 rev_art @jaydeehoodoo check out the photo spinner for the show tonight, there's some great pics @balkandiviner14 provided!
2023-07-10 19:37 rev_art Loved the pics of the convention btw @trollt...and that pic of the vintage shopping plaza took me waaaaaay back!
2023-07-10 19:37 trollt Is there a page on the MMaMP website now for Romanian folk magic?
2023-07-10 19:38 balkandiviner14 Dacia= the name for Romania in Antiquity
2023-07-10 19:38 rev_art There's one in development, I need to coordinate more with @balkandiviner14 before publishing!
2023-07-10 19:39 phyllismargretgabor if you do a left hand show i have to know what your thoughts are on e a koetting ๐Ÿ˜…
2023-07-10 19:39 trollt Lunar deity of Romania?
2023-07-10 19:39 trollt Lucien?
2023-07-10 19:39 rev_art My family is of eastern European descent, I'm personally thrilled to help shine a light on the region!
2023-07-10 19:40 balkandiviner14 The name of the lunar deity of Dacians is Bendis!
2023-07-10 19:40 trollt Ah, thanks.
2023-07-10 19:41 rev_art TS 41:00
2023-07-10 19:42 trollt Has the pagan history of Romania been lost? Are there books documenting it?
2023-07-10 19:42 trollt Are there academics covering any of this?
2023-07-10 19:43 balkandiviner14 Unfortunately it has been lost to a great degree! There are pieces of information here and there, mostly only available in the native language, but not anything that covers thoroughly.
2023-07-10 19:43 jaydeehoodoo Does Dracula play a role in folk tradition in Romania?
2023-07-10 19:43 rev_art @balkandiviner14 and I have discussed books on the region, there really aren't any that truly embrace the anthropological culture. There's one I found - a textbook - that I plan to order and review myself.
2023-07-10 19:43 trollt Bram Stoker
2023-07-10 19:43 balkandiviner14 Dracula is based on the medieval ruler Vlad Tepes. We will cover the Romanian vampire versions shortly
2023-07-10 19:44 rev_art It's only been in recent years that there's been a concerted effort to publish information on Slavic deities
2023-07-10 19:44 balkandiviner14 Deochi= the Romanian name for the evil eye
2023-07-10 19:44 trollt There is a modern "recovery" Pagan movement in Romania: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalmoxianism
2023-07-10 19:44 jaydeehoodoo Terror of the Evil Eye Exposed: https://www.luckymojo.com/terrorsofthee ... posed.html
2023-07-10 19:45 jaydeehoodoo My Grandma use to spit on the ground 3 times or wipe you with her spit as a kid
2023-07-10 19:45 rev_art @trollt I'm going to reach out to the groups listed in that article, thanks!
2023-07-10 19:46 trollt Finding web sites with key terms laid out in this radio show: https://www.angelfire.com/md/Orastie/mythology.html
2023-07-10 19:46 balkandiviner14 Romanians believe there are people who cast the evil eye quickly, there are people who have the gift (or "har" as it's called around here), and there are does who are not able to heal the evil eye
2023-07-10 19:47 trollt Key term for academic research would be the Thracians.
2023-07-10 19:47 balkandiviner14 The extinguishing of coals= a ritual to heal the evil eye Another version involves matches
2023-07-10 19:47 jaydeehoodoo could you throw the water where you want it to hit someone else like a reversing?
2023-07-10 19:47 balkandiviner14 That's correct, trollt! But Thracians and Dacians also have certain differences in their custom.
2023-07-10 19:48 balkandiviner14 Jaydee, evil eye is usually cast without malefic intentions. People focus mostly on cleansing rather than reversing.
2023-07-10 19:48 trollt Some have Bendis as a goddess.
2023-07-10 19:49 balkandiviner14 Strigoi= Romanian version of vampire/werewolf
2023-07-10 19:50 trollt The Great Mother of the Thracian Gods, the god identified by Herodotus with the Greek Artemis, was a central figure in the Thracian religion along with the great god Zis, known by many names such as: Derived from the Indo-European root *bสฐendสฐ-, meaning to bind"." -- https://academic-accelerator.com/encycl ... n-religion
2023-07-10 19:50 dr-sweets To spit three time when any evil is mentioned was in the movie "The Nun" I think.
2023-07-10 19:50 trollt Red thread and Basil: common with Hindus!
2023-07-10 19:50 trollt Or with Jews.
2023-07-10 19:50 rev_art We're planning on watching that tonight @dr-sweets! I'll watch for that now!
2023-07-10 19:50 phyllismargretgabor it's in several movies. I was just trying to recall
2023-07-10 19:51 dr-sweets Its a brief mention but its there...LOL
2023-07-10 19:51 phyllismargretgabor i heard that drag me to hell is a very good representation of cursing but I can't remember if the lady spit or not
2023-07-10 19:52 rev_art @reverendjames has been wanting to watch a horror movie, I've finally given in, lol
2023-07-10 19:52 jaydeehoodoo Yes, itโ€™s an old tradition and spinning counterclockwise
2023-07-10 19:52 trollt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacians
2023-07-10 19:52 jaydeehoodoo (spitting 4 times) and moving counter-clock
2023-07-10 19:52 jaydeehoodoo 3
2023-07-10 19:53 dr-sweets Oh yes spinning clockwise. Do you spin like on a dime like a ballerina?
2023-07-10 19:53 trollt Any relation between "stregoi" and strega witches in Italy?
2023-07-10 19:53 jaydeehoodoo Dont think it matters the idea is the spin and spit removes it
2023-07-10 19:54 rev_art It's strigoi
2023-07-10 19:54 dr-sweets OK
2023-07-10 19:54 phyllismargretgabor what movie?
2023-07-10 19:54 rev_art https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strigoi
2023-07-10 19:54 trollt Werewolf: it is maintained that the origin of these monsters is Jewish culture.
2023-07-10 19:54 trollt Thanks Reverend Art.
2023-07-10 19:54 balkandiviner14 Strigoi don't have as far as I know a direct relationship with strega witches. Strigoi are spirits of the dead coming back to haunt and provoke mayhem
2023-07-10 19:55 balkandiviner14 They are a mix between what vampires and werewolves are seen in Western Culture!
2023-07-10 19:55 trollt Benjamin, etc.
2023-07-10 19:55 trollt Undead?! Wow.
2023-07-10 19:56 trollt https://www.jewcy.com/arts-and-culture/ ... erewolves/
2023-07-10 19:57 trollt Each house has a white snake: wow!
2023-07-10 19:57 rev_art Just looked at the etymology of strigoi and it's been connected to the Latin strฤซga...it looks like strega and strigoi may have the same origins!
2023-07-10 19:57 trollt 'The Luck of the Devil' - the dark side of Christian culture.
2023-07-10 19:57 balkandiviner14 Yes! Kill that snake and bad luck will follow your family
2023-07-10 19:58 trollt Yes, house spirits are common.
2023-07-10 19:58 phyllismargretgabor I'm trying to remember where i read someone being prosecuted for preforming a ritual on someone that passed because he thought they were a strigoi
2023-07-10 19:58 rev_art TS 58:00
2023-07-10 19:59 phyllismargretgabor is that common? taboo?
2023-07-10 19:59 rev_art @phyllismargretgabor I seem to remember that as well...now I have to find it, lol
2023-07-10 19:59 balkandiviner14 It's better to take preventive measures before as digging for the grave of the deceased would take quite some effort and time.
2023-07-10 19:59 phyllismargretgabor yes! find it because my brain thinks it's josh gates lol
2023-07-10 20:01 phyllismargretgabor so pre burial is considered normal? Is it done a lot?
2023-07-10 20:01 balkandiviner14 moศ› = a strand of hair that is cut after 1 year the baby's born To be like a "mot" indicates to be the first, successful, so that strand of hair is kept and used as a lucky charm
2023-07-10 20:02 trollt Compare to the umbilical cord or baby teeth.
2023-07-10 20:03 balkandiviner14 a face haz de necaz= to laugh in the face of hard times
2023-07-10 20:04 balkandiviner14 Romanians find humor in any situations, even the most desperate

2023-07-10 20:04 balkandiviner14 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koliva
2023-07-10 20:06 rev_art @jaydeehoodoo Holla!
2023-07-10 20:06 trollt Choosing 3 objects: in order to recognize previous incarnations?

2023-07-10 20:09 rev_art It was depicted in "7 Years in Tibet" and I believe "Kundun" as well
2023-07-10 20:10 balkandiviner14 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragobete
2023-07-10 20:10 rev_art the search for the new Dalai Lama that is

2023-07-10 20:10 balkandiviner14 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A2nzian%C4%83
2023-07-10 20:11 phyllismargretgabor this is slightly off Romanian topic but you said fairies and i have heard that a ring of mushrooms is a Portal to the fairy realm
2023-07-10 20:12 trollt Do the fairies have individual names? What are fairies called, in Romanian?
2023-07-10 20:12 trollt That's Sanzienele?
2023-07-10 20:12 balkandiviner14 They are called "Sanzienele".
2023-07-10 20:13 trollt Do they steal and replace children?
2023-07-10 20:13 trollt Do they trick people like by souring milk or other tricks?
2023-07-10 20:13 dr-sweets Looking through a natural holey stone (Hag Stone) will allow you to see fairies.

2023-07-10 20:14 dr-sweets LOL
2023-07-10 20:14 phyllismargretgabor I have only ever seen 2 mushroom full circles in my life
2023-07-10 20:14 balkandiviner14 They are beautiful women dancing on fields. They can provide healing and enchant male figures in particular
2023-07-10 20:14 trollt Like sirens
2023-07-10 20:15 jaydeehoodoo basil genovese?
2023-07-10 20:15 trollt Is your Halloween on the same day?
2023-07-10 20:15 balkandiviner14 In a way, but Sanzienele are the correspondence of fairies. "Ielele" are better suited for a mermaid correspondence in our culture. They are "nymphs" of the forest and nature, but far trickier
2023-07-10 20:16 balkandiviner14 Our "Halloween" is St.Andrew's day 30th November
2023-07-10 20:16 trollt So a number of these days are off from US practices.
2023-07-10 20:16 balkandiviner14 Basil needs to be blessed in the Church. There's not a particular focus on the type of basil.
2023-07-10 20:17 trollt Valentine's / 24th Feb; Halloween a month later. Is Christmas Dec 25?
2023-07-10 20:17 balkandiviner14 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iele
2023-07-10 20:17 trollt Do you pay attention to pagan holidays or days like Easter?
2023-07-10 20:17 balkandiviner14 Yes. Christmas is on Dec 25
2023-07-10 20:17 balkandiviner14 We celebrate Easter!
2023-07-10 20:18 phyllismargretgabor that's adorable. I kiss flowers all the time
2023-07-10 20:18 trollt I figured you must. Bunnies and eggs?
2023-07-10 20:18 phyllismargretgabor they are so cute. How can you not talk to them?
2023-07-10 20:18 trollt Or is it more Christian in character?
2023-07-10 20:18 rev_art TS 1:18
2023-07-10 20:18 balkandiviner14 Painting eggs in red, sometimes other colors but red is a must
2023-07-10 20:18 balkandiviner14 Bunnies are commercial rather than traditional
2023-07-10 20:19 trollt How is it explained in relation to Christian notions of Christ's life?
2023-07-10 20:19 trollt Is there a Santa Claus? And a Black Peter too?
2023-07-10 20:19 jaydeehoodoo red eggs are common in Greek culture and many leave the red egg out for protection
2023-07-10 20:20 balkandiviner14 In Romania bibliomancy is popular. To select your "baba" (old women) is by calculating the digits of your birth date. Prediction based on weather. Card reading with playing cards. And corn kernel divination!
2023-07-10 20:20 trollt Are there overlaps in Christian practices with other Orthodox Christians?
2023-07-10 20:20 balkandiviner14 We have a Santa Claus, again it's marketing. The red is associated with the blood of the Christ!
2023-07-10 20:20 trollt There you go.
2023-07-10 20:21 trollt What about reading coffee grounds?
2023-07-10 20:21 jaydeehoodoo Tsougrisma
2023-07-10 20:21 balkandiviner14 Palmistry is popular too. Yes, trollt, reading coffee grounds!
2023-07-10 20:22 trollt Have you ever seen the Deste Cards?
2023-07-10 20:22 trollt Do you see readers of playing cards and / or Lenormand?
2023-07-10 20:23 balkandiviner14 I have not seen Deste Cards. But it is likely that certain gypsy groups as they are proficient in magic may use them. Playing cards are popular tools as they have been available.
2023-07-10 20:23 trollt Is Bibliomancy in Romania also accepting of other books, or ONLY The Bible?
2023-07-10 20:23 trollt Do you use a key?
2023-07-10 20:24 balkandiviner14 The Bible is the most treasured book in bibliomancy. I cannot speak if other divination books would be accepted. But the bible is a must and it's how I've seen priest operate on. So if other books are accepted it may be a modern approach.
2023-07-10 20:24 balkandiviner14 *in bibliomancy around here
2023-07-10 20:25 trollt What about dowsing, pendulums, or other similar tools?
2023-07-10 20:25 jaydeehoodoo wonderful show, thank you @balkandiviner14
2023-07-10 20:25 balkandiviner14 Pendulums are used with the engagement ring!
2023-07-10 20:26 trollt Yes! And picking flower petals for the love foretelling?
2023-07-10 20:26 phyllismargretgabor yes we need a part 2
2023-07-10 20:26 balkandiviner14 Not as popular as I am aware of.
2023-07-10 20:26 balkandiviner14 Thank you for listening to this show!
2023-07-10 20:26 jaydeehoodoo ring on a string supposed to tell of a baby gender as well
2023-07-10 20:26 balkandiviner14 It has been a pleasure!
