Serbian Folk Religion in 100 Terms // Narodna Religija Srba u 100 Pojmova (1991) - Dušan Bandić
"Dr. Dušan Bandić (1938-2004) was a professor of ethnology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade and for a time the head of the Department of National Ethnology and Anthropology.'' - in my attempt to make more sources on ex-yu culture accessible, i've begun to scan and share some of the good material i've read! due to some expressed interest, here is a segment on vampires and watermills (which are connected to vampires)! - for folks who can read serbo-croatian and cyrillic, you can read the direct scans from the book here and for those of you who can't, i've translated the pages into english myself and you can read them here. hope some of you enjoy reading about vampires before they were sexy! if you are interested in reading any of the other segments, you can find a table of contents here and let me know which you'd like to see first. (note: while im fluent in english and put a lot of effort into these translations, i'm by no means a professional translator. my primary focus was that the facts were translated correctly and relayed what people believed)
#its here finally i did it!!!!#i think i'll start tagging all my archiving and information sharing attempts with#basil archives#really hope somebody enjoys this!#i've read the whole book myself and can confirm that its a lovely source of reliable information#written before the onslaught of nationalism#just a genuine account of some folkloric beliefs#balkan youth have always outlived evil times#myposts#also this books talks about the beliefs of serbs from all over bosnia croatia and motenegro as well#and as we know the beliefs of a village didnt split across ethnic lines before uh modern times#so its not exclusively serbian beliefs#neither of the texts are large btw!#vampires a 5/6 pages watermill like 2 or 3#btw if anyone notices any mistakes please let me know! english or serbian#also if google drive is for whichever reasons not working also let me know!
