Hi all! Today we will go with you to the mysterious country of Romania. You were there? And I haven’t yet, but I will definitely go, because nothing compares to a real trip. To increase your desire to visit this territory, I will tell you about the magical side of Romania.
Dark and mysterious, Romania is an ideal country for those who believe in sorcerers, witches, ghosts and vampires.
- Breathtaking landscapes;
- mountains and valleys covered with mist;
- warm Black Sea;
- dense forests, rivers and numerous lakes;
- ancient castles and no less ancient customs
Being in such a place, you understand that reality and magic can coexist.
The uniqueness of the Romanian folk culture lies in its archaism: ancient knowledge is carefully preserved in its original form, practically unchanged. Church control in Romania has always been less strict than in Western or Central Europe. There was no organization similar to the Inquisition, which means that the pagans were not subjected to massive and systematic persecution. And the mentality of the Romanians also played a role: for centuries they have been influenced by various peoples, but they have always adhered to their culture and traditions.
Dracula: legends and reality
Perhaps the first association with the word "Romania" for most foreigners will be "Count Dracula". This colorful character can rightfully be called the most famous Romanian, and the castle is the most important sight of the country, which thousands of tourists consider it their duty to visit.
Meanwhile, on honorary title"Castle of Dracula" claims several ancient estates at once. Supporters of different theories have their own numerous arguments, however, it is generally accepted that the legendary vampire still lived in Bran Castle, thirty kilometers from small town Brasov.
To be precise, in Romania Dracula is a household name belonging to two different heroes. One of them marked the beginning of the literary and cinematic "career" of the bloodthirsty count, this is the image created by the Irishman Bram Stoker in the novel Dracula (1897). The namesake of this hero (and, concurrently, his prototype) lived quite real life and went down in history as an incredibly cruel ruler of Wallachia, one of the Regions of Romania.
In 1931, to test the truth of this legend, archaeological excavations but no remains were found. There was also no remains of a coffin, anything that would indicate a burial. However, mystery lovers and mystics not only were not disappointed, but, on the contrary, began to heatedly discuss a new issue: the mysterious disappearance of the body of the vampire count. All these mysterious stories give Romania that unique flavor for which it is so loved.
Romanian witches
Witches for Romanians are not characters of ancient fairy tales, but quite real, familiar creatures that live side by side with them and do not surprise anyone. Local residents have long trusted sorcerers and sorceresses, faith in them is strong to this day, especially in rural areas.
An important event was the legalization in 2011 of magic, witchcraft and sorcery. This means that such professions as a soothsayer, palmist, black magician and the like were classified as entrepreneurs. Servants of the dark and light forces were obliged to give 16% of their income to the treasury, which caused a strong resonance in the magical world. The anger of witches (and in the vast majority of cases this profession in Romania is precisely female) knew no bounds. According to them, the new tax would leave them without a livelihood, because their earnings are not great at all.
The sorceresses also noted their merits in the fight against natural disasters (which are not uncommon for Romania, and can be truly destructive). The state, according to women, does not show due gratitude for magical support, while the politicians themselves often seek spells for their enemies.
Angry with the arbitrariness of the authorities, the furies decided to take revenge on the government by a method accessible only to them: to impose a terrible curse on the members of the Cabinet of Ministers! For the ritual, 13 witches gathered at night on the banks of the Danube. They made and, having performed all the manipulations necessary in such cases, poured a poisonous decoction into the river (they said that it contained a magical plant). Bratara Buzeya, the chief witch of Romania, told reporters: "We harm those who have harmed us." About whether the “worst curse in the world” worked, history is silent.
A modern innovation that entered the life of Romanian wizards and sorceresses and significantly influenced it is the Internet. “We must apply modern technologies, keep up with the times,” they say.
Unlike their Russian counterparts, Romanian sorcerers can advertise their services, offer various potions and potions legally, along with ordinary goods and services. A lady who owns the profession of a witch here has the official right to predict the future, speak illnesses, make love spells, etc.
The famous Romanian witch Rodica was an innovator - she was the first among her colleagues to start her own website and blog. It turned out that the ancient teachings are well combined with new technologies: Rodica taught everyone who wanted to read fortune-telling on cards online, was engaged in daily interpretation of dreams and, of course, advertised her skills, promising those who applied to her the return of potency, getting rid of drunkenness, serious illnesses and many, many more. “I create potions and cast spells according to the ancient art of divination. However, the blog is what brings me closer to potential clients, many of whom used to be skeptical about magic,” writes Rodica. “There are no distances for magic,” says another modern witch, Domnica Vilanu, from an old Romanian family.
It is worth noting that not all Romanian sorcerers at one time took the new "magic" tax with hostility. Some even then said that this step of the government is a legislative recognition of the existence of witchcraft. In other words, having lost part of their income, astrologers, soothsayers, shamans moved from an illegal position to a completely legal one. It seems that in Romania the age-old confrontation between science and the occult ended in a friendly draw.
Although, today Russia has already opened the door to witches and sorcerers. The transmission gave impetus to this movement. Websites, advertisements and offers to use such services are now everywhere, on the Internet and in newspapers.
Be sure to visit Romania, visit Dracula's castle and chat with local witches. I wish you a mystical journey!

In 1991, the Romanian part of the Danube Delta was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Visit the Danube Delta and you will be pleasantly surprised by the natural beauty of this region.
The Bridge of God is a natural structure located in the county of Mehedinci on main road, which connects the cities of Targu Jiu and Drobeta-Turnu Severi.

And, of course, returning from far and near countries. Be sure to bring at least a small souvenir. You just need to know what to look for, because in every country
Radovan's Forest, located in Dolj County, is crossed by a road where accidents often occur, although the road section is straight.
According to local residents, there is only one explanation: the “bride of Radovan”, the ghost of a young woman dressed in a wedding dress, appears in front of the drivers, terrorizing those who walk in the forest at night.
This legend has several variants. Some say it is the ghost of a girl who came from Moldova to earn money for her family, but hanged herself in Radovan's forest, believing she was pregnant, which was a disgrace at the time.
As a suicide, she was not buried according to Christian custom, and her poor relatives could not take care of the grave, so her soul did not find peace.
Other locals say that the ghost of a girl appears in the forest of Radovan, whose fiancé died right before the wedding. She was waiting for him dressed in a wedding dress, and the news of his death made her jump into the well, but even after death she did not stop looking for her beloved. That is why the bride appears only in front of the cars of unmarried guys.
National Road 7: Tragedies Instigated by a Dead Bride
Another bride looking for her fiancé and car accidents are the center of the legend associated with the national road 7. Here, near Gaesht, Dımbovica county, several decades ago, a girl died on her wedding day. The fault was an accident in which her fiancé also died. Since then, many accidents have occurred in this area, especially near the cross erected by the family in memory of the young bride.
Within just two years, 12 unmarried men died near this cross, which makes the locals think about the curse of the bride, who, for some unknown reason, could not leave this world and leave with the groom.
Longgang Hill: Ghost Soldiers
Located between the villages of Sarka and Longgan in Yasi County, Longgang Hill is famous for its mysterious phantoms that appear to travelers. Locals tell stories about this area, not always pleasant legends about ghosts that haunted them for several kilometers, hovering next to them above the road.
It seems that soldiers who died during the First World War were buried in a mass grave in this zone. Since they died without communion and a candle and were buried without a religious rite, their souls did not find peace, so travelers are required to do for them what is supposed to be, that is, order a memorial service.

The forest near the city of Cluj-Napoca has long been known for the mysterious events that take place here, and is even considered a gateway to another dimension. Named " bermuda triangle Transylvania", the forest is one of the most active regions in the world in terms of paranormal activity.
Legends arose after a shepherd disappeared into the forest along with his flock, and no one was able to find either him or even part of the sheep. This was only the first mysterious disappearance in the Bachu Forest. Now both locals and tourists avoid this area, which only attracts thrill-seekers.
