Field data regarding the rea- sons for the sanctification of trees and the common beliefs and rituals related to them are described, comparing the form which the phenomenon takes among different ethnic groups. In addition, I discuss the temporal and spatial changes in the magnitude of tree worship in Northern Israel, its syncretic aspects, and its future. Key words: Holy land, sacred tree, tree veneration INTRODUCTION Trees have always been regarded as the first temples of the gods, and sacred groves as their first place of worship and both were held in utmost reverence in the past (Pliny 1945: 12.2.3; Quantz 1898: 471; Porteous 1928: 190). Thus, it is not surprising that individual as well as groups of sacred trees have been a characteristic of almost every culture and religion that has existed in places where trees can grow (Philpot 1897: 4; Quantz 1898: 467; Chandran & Hughes 1997: 414). It is not uncommon to find traces of tree worship in the Middle East, as well. However, as William Robertson-Smith (1889: 187) noted, “there is no reason to think that any of the great Semitic cults developed out of tree worship”. It has already been recognized that trees are not worshipped for them- selves but for what is revealed through them, for what they imply and signify (Eliade 1958: 268; Zahan 1979: 28), and, especially, for various powers attrib- uted to them (Millar et al. 1999: 35; Hamilton 2002: 57). In addition, they are sometimes seen to be the abode of supreme beings (see Dafni 2006 for a re- view). Sacred trees are thus treated as any other sacred space, and it is there- fore not surprising that many of the customs and ceremonies observed in sa- cred places, in general, are also observed at the sites of sacred trees. http://www.folklore.ee/folklore/vol48/dafni.pdf Folklore 48 7 Amots Dafni In the Muslim world and in the Middle East, sacred places are closely re- lated to the worship of saints (Goldziher 1971: passim; Westermarck 1973, 1968: passim; Canaan 1927: passim; Arráf 1993: passim; Anabsi 2008: passim; Subtelny 1989: passim; Culmsee et al. 2005: 187–189), and in many instances sacred trees are connected with sacred graves/shrines and share common supernatu- ral powers: to grant divine blessings, to cure, and to punish offenders of the saint to whom the tree is dedicated and who endows the tree with its miracu- lous powers (Canaan 1927: passim; Dafni 2002, 2006, 2007a). Pamela R. Frese and S. J. M. Gray (1995: 32) note: “Sacred trees have a ritual significance. The trees and their meanings may be incorporated into rituals of curing, initiation, marriage and death. Trees used in any of these contexts stand for the divine and represent the sacred beliefs being honoured through the ritual.” In the same vein, Canaan (1927: 151) adds: “The present- day peasant does not venerate the trees themselves but the divine power which acts in them and which is derived from a godly person whose soul is supposed to be inhabiting the shrine, tomb, cave or spring with which they became associated. Often these holy men have appeared in the tree itself or near by.” Regarding this point, it is pertinent to cite John Mills (1864: 54) who de- clared: “Yet in no country are the people more awed by trees than in Pales- tine.” The current article, based on extensive fieldwork, surveys some aspects of the contemporary prevalence of tree worship in present day Israel, with spe- cial emphasis on the reasons for the sanctification of trees and the customs related to them. Also traced are the changes in the extent of the phenomenon over the past few generations and among the various religions. METHODOLOGY The field study, performed between 1999 and 2006, centred on thirty-five Arab, Bedouin, and Druze villages in the Galilee. Informants were asked, in an un- structured interview, about the reasons why certain trees became sacred, the existence of sacred trees (including historical and abandoned ones), who visit these trees and for what purposes, what the attitude of their religion is to tree worship, what supernatural powers are attributed to and what customs and ceremonies are observed near or under sacred trees. The survey covered 158 informants, comprising 47 Druze and 111 Muslims (54 Arabs and 57 Bedouins). The distinction between Bedouins and Arabs was made in an attempt to expose any differences in traditions regarding sacred trees that may reflect differences between nomads and settled village people. 8 www.folklore.ee/folklore On The Present-day Veneration of Sacred Trees in the Holy Land I took Arabs to be people settled in their villages for several centuries, and Bedouins to be people who originated in the deserts of Israel and Jordan, and migrated to Galilee during the last three centuries, and were nomads until the end of the 20th century (Medzini 1984: 30). The Druze are an eastern Mediterranean religious group first established in Egypt in the 11th century (Dana 2003: 3). Today they are concentrated in Lebanon, Syria, and Israel (Dana 2003: 8–14). Their belief in the revelation of God in the form of a human being is the most important fundamental principle of the Druze faith (Besterman 1928: 145; Dana 2003: 15). This is not in essence a ritual and ceremonial belief system, but rather a Neo-Platonic philosophy (Dana 2003: 17). The survey excluded Christians, who rarely believe in sacred trees, while tree worship among Jews is a new trend which appeared in the last two dec- ades. Almost all the trees worshipped by Jews are revered already by Muslims and grow in the vicinity of graves of Jewish personalities regarded as right- eous. In each village I carried out a preliminary survey to locate, a priori, the more knowledgeable people. I also sought important religious leaders to en- quire of their attitudes to the worship of sacred trees. I chose informants ac- cording to their knowledge of common/local traditions and/or religious status. The average age of the informants was 53.7 (+/- 13.6) years. Respondents com- prised 126 males and 32 females (in general, women were reluctant to be in- terviewed and, when they agreed, the interview was held in the presence of other family members). Because of the refusal of most of the informants to be videotaped or to have their statements recorded, the study is based entirely on oral interviews and field notes taken on the spot. I also surveyed 78 known sacred trees of which 37 are active centres of worship today.

After the ‘discovery’ of African pygmies in the 1860s, little people became a powerful way of imaginatively connecting to an inconceivably distant past, and the place of humans within it. Little people in fin de siècle narratives have been commonly interpreted as atavistic, stunted warnings of biological reversion. I suggest that there are other readings available: by deploying two nineteenth-century anthropological theories – E. B. Tylor’s doctrine of ‘survivals’, and euhemerism, a model proposing that the mythology surrounding fairies was based on the existence of real ‘little people’ – they can also be read as positive symbols of the tenacity of the human spirit, and as offering access to a sacred, spiritual, or magic, world.

Abstract The article provides an overview of descriptions of total solar eclipses in different literature forms, rites and toponyms of Slavs. It is shown that the solar eclipse had a prominent role in the worldview of the tribes. Explanations of some terms of Slavic outlook are given with suggestions for the correct terminology. A program for further investigation in Slavic and other people’s culture is proposed. Keywords: Total solar eclipse; Archeoastronomy; Mythology; Slavs; Character 'Akhet' (Figure 2) should be translated as 'eclipse' instead of Akhet; Myth of creation of the world; Myth of end of the world; 'horizon'.

  • Archives Looking for Home
    Archives Looking for a Home: The Cultural Heritage of the Estonian Diaspora in the Estonian Literary Museum Piret Noorhani, Merike Kiipus, Anu Korb Estonian Literary Museum The Estonian Literary Museum (Eesti Kirjandusmuuseum) – at the moment, a state research and development institution – is historically a colony of three archives: the Archival Library (Arhiivraamatukogu, AR, established in 1909), the Estonian Folklore Archives (Eesti Rahvaluule Arhiiv, ERA, 1927), and the Estonian Cultural History Archives (Eesti Kultuurilooline Arhiiv, EKLA, 1929). The archives were born within the Estonian National Museum with the aim to collect publications, folklore and cultural documents in Estonian and about Estonia. This is the task the archives have performed since their establishment – irrespective of the changing systems of government, the formal status of the institution, and the generations of its employees. As a result of continuous work, the archives of the Literary Museum have a wide and versatile collection of material on the history of the Estonian diaspora; the present article can give only a superficial survey. As to the Archival Library and the Cultural History Archives, we limit ourselves to the cultural heritage of the Estonians who fled to the West after World War II, while with the Folklore Archives we include – and concentrate on – the material of the Estonians in the East. This refers to the priorities of different archives in collecting and researching their material, but also to future considerations. The Archival Library Collection and Partners The oldest archives of the Literary Museum, the Archival Library established in 1909, includes material concerning Estonians in the East and Baltica collected since the early 20th century.
