OLD TIME CUSTOMS OF HUNGARIAN BURIAL FROM BLASSA-ORTUTAY : EXCELLENT!

MEK OSZK HU : BLASSA-ORTUTAY HUNGARIAN ETHNIC BURIAL CUSTOMS Read this and be informed!

Excerpt: The burial of young men and girls who were brides- and grooms-to-be resembled a wedding in many aspects. Although there were no best men, the girls and young men walked on both sides of the coffin dressed as for a wedding. Thus among the Csángós of Hétfalu (former Brassó County) they sang the following while the coffin was carried out of the house by the maids and young men of honour:

I am too a bridegroom [or a bride]
Ready for to go soon.
Folk come here a-treading
To a woeful wedding.
I was once a flower,
But I won’t bloom ever
Laid at rest in coffin.
In my parents’ garden
I was once a flower,
Rose that won’t bloom ever,
For the Reaper cut me
When a youth unwary
With His net He snared me,
And won’t have me living,
Here I must be leaving.

Hétfalu (former Brassó County)

SZAZHALOMBATTA BRONZE AGE TELL ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE : WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE PART OF THE DIG?

Százhalombatta : Oh this looks like a very interesting way to spend three weeks! 

SZAZHALOMBATTA BRONZE AGE TELL ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE

Finds from the site include pottery, daub, plaster, metalwork, moulds, loom weights, bone tools, antler objects, ground stone, lithics, amber, animal and occasional human bones. Many of the Bronze Age houses were burnt. This has resulted in outstanding preservation of organic material including botanical remains such as thatch from house roofs and Bronze Age food like crabapples, peas, beans and lentils. There is also worked wood and basketry. Thin section soil micromorphology, phytoliths, charcoal and coprolites add to the data from the site.

Excavation at the site is directed by Dr Magdolna Vicze (Hungarian National Museum), Professor Marie Louise Stig Sørensen (University of Cambridge), and Professor Joanna Sofaer (University of Southampton). Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Katharina Rebay-Salisbury, head of the University of Vienna team, is also our project partner.

THE GENETIC LEGACY OF THE HUNYADI FAMILY : KING MATTHIAS and the SEARCH FOR HIS GENETIC ORIGINS THROUGH HIS DESCENDANTS

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9678726/  THe NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE is with the UNITES STATES OF AMERICA GOVERNMENT...

Excerpt:  The Hunyadi family is one of the most influential families in the history of Central Europe in the 14th - 16th centuries.  The family's prestige was established by Johannes Hunyadi, a Turk-beater who rose to the position of governor of the Kingdom of Hungary.  His second son, Matthias Hunyadi, because the elected ruler of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1458.  The Hunyadi family had unknown origin. Moreover, Matthias failed to found a dynasty because of lacking a legitimate heir and his illegitimate son Johannes Corvinus was unable to obtain the crown.  His grandson, Christophorus Corvinus, died in childhood, thus the direct male line of the family ended.

This scientific article explores the DNA of the Corvinus (Crow) family heritage.  Matthew the Crow or of the Crow clan, as I see it, is linked with the Hunyadi family.

ANCIENT HUN MUSIC by KARAKURT

I always wonder about videos that come under the Ancient Magyar theme as I believe most of the music is a revisioning, a romanticism of the past.  I like the sounds of this one though, and maybe YOU know more about the origins of this song?

Leave me a comment if you do?

POST SUMERIAN SCYTHIAN MAGYARS

  

Post Sumerian Scythian Magyars.

This station promotes the notion that the ancient Magyars were the Sumerians.  On other videos posted by the same channel, links between languages are shown.  This is one of many theories.  I think this is a very beautiful and well done video.

BOAT SHAPED FACE CARVED HEADSTONES of SZATMARCSEKE CALVINIST CEMETERY

ATLAS OBSCURA - SZATMARCSEKE- CALVINIST CEMETERY

EXCERPT: Before a local dies, he or she picks a tree that will one day be felled to form his or her own marker. The residents also leave specific instructions with their chosen woodworker. The boat-shaped pieces of wood must meet a strict set of criteria: They must be made of oak, be between about five feet and 6.5 feet high, and face west.

Some of the oldest boat markers are located in a separate area which was once reserved for Romani Hungarians and the victims of suicide. The cemetery also contains the marble tombs of the Kölcsey family, including that of Ferenc Kölcsey, a Hungarian poet and politician who wrote the country’s national anthem and died in the village in 1838.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF AN EXCELLENT BOOK ON ANCIENT HUNGARIAN SHAMANISM to RECOMMEND? MUSHROOMS?

I feel sure that the Ancient Hungarians (the people, likely several tribes, who came in from somewhere else, following that White Stag, and marrying White Fairy Women, were pagan, and practiced shamanism.  I would like to read about this, rather than about the Neo-Pagans in Hungary (though they are interesting too), and in English, though if you know of the definitive book and a great translator, let me know.


In particular, shamans in Native American and other cultures seem to use some sort of hallucinogen that is easy enough to find or brew up in their own local.  So that means Datura in Southern California and Mexico.  (There are many types but it's basically a plant with a white bell shaped flower. Having taken many hikes in the Santa Monica mountains and in the Malibu I know how to identify it.  Sometimes it just grows aside the road.  I wouldn't dare try it.) 


Peyote, I believe was used by certain Native American tribes, as well as 1960's rock stars, as an organic, rather than "acid."


I've heard of people licking poison toads in jungles.  There's a particular vine that is used in the Amazon.  And no doubt there were some witches in Europe who applied some unguent they knew how to make from plants that sent them flying on their brooms, even if they were laying around a hut at the time in their physical body.  I've read that MUSHROOMS were used in Russia by the Slavs.


On the West Coast of the United States there are rain forests in the redwood tree growth areas where MUSHROOMS grow that might also be handled and ingested carefully.  So I suspect that the ancient Hungarian shamans probably used some sort of MUSHROOM, but I could be wrong, because perhaps they brought plants and knowledge with them from the mysterious place(s) they left.


Having studied a bit about the Native Americans of Southern California and the South West United States, I've learned that sometimes the use of hallucinogens was a once in a lifetime experience, a rite of passage for boys, for instance, and that maybe only one or two shamans in the tribe used plants to have wild experiences using them.  The notion that having a "trip" that's outside normal reality is a spiritual experience is nothing new.


So - What should I read?  Or maybe I should be asking, "WHAT DO YOU KNOW?"
