The Wolf and the Folk Calendar
Iulian Boldea (Editor) – Literature, Discourses and the Power of Multicultural Dialogue Arhipelag XXI Press, Tîrgu Mureș, 2017, eISBN: 978-606-8624-12-9 THE WOLF AND THE FOLK CALENDAR Delia Anamaria Răchișan Lecturer, PhD, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca - Baia Mare Northern University Center Abstract: The paper aims to highlight the days consacrated to the wolf encountered during the year and mentioned in the Folk Calendar. We start from the premise that in the past there were more than 30 days dedicated to the wolf, which attests the renewal of the calendaristic time, namely, the renewal of the Dacian New Year, aspect confirmed also by the ethnologist Ion Ghinoiu. The Dacian New Year ends with Saint Nicholas. An important role was played by Moș Andrei and Moș Nicolae. In the present, in the center of attention there are other santas: Moș Ajun and Moș Crăciun. In the days consacrated to the wolf, the ritual praxis was respected. We recall some interdictions strictly respected in the Romanian villages: the word ”wolf” was not pronounced (on the contrary, the wolves were coming to the man`s household); symbolically ”the wolf's mouth” was bind (emphasizing on the „apotropaic” [defense] function); in order to protect both the people and the domestic animals „marhăle”, the blunt objects of the household were used (for example, the saw, the scissors, the brush with teeth used for wool teaselling, etc.); it was was forbidden working with wool or animal skins– spunning, using of the loom [„teară”]; throwing out the ashes (it was believed that the shewolves that swallowed coals have become fertile and have bred, and the shewolves that did not eat coals have become barren). -
