Honestly only those who grew up and lived in the Balkans and experienced life here can really understand this area, the rest are theories, guesses, just information without anything practical

Ansambl v intru je me zelo presenetil, le za to bo en všeček! Ansambel je zakon!

Such ana amazing video, you’ve managed to discuss all the importances of the Witcher games such as CD Projekt themselves, faithfulnes of the adaptations, music and slavic mythology! Really enjoyable and I appreciate your work! Much love, cheers! ⚔

Wait you expect mythology to be normal..?

I like how you called the Bulgarian kukeri cool and the Croatian ones furries LOL!

We arent vampires. We dont eat hearts. We are ordinary pleople. Pls, dont make with us jour legegent from Louisiana.

Kooool!

My Romanian friend asked me to hit her hand three times on several occasions. What is the reason behind anyone knows?

where the pokol is that stop-motion clip from i need to know :D

a good combo would be “a kibaszott kurva életbe” :)

Hey, I live there!

i love hearing abt my country. the video was great! just subscribed. what s the game that keeps appearing throughout the video?

Just found you! Love the video. I look forward to seeing more.

I was in Ljubljana for a week, a month ago. Loved it there.

Mines basically the inverse of this

an offering to satiate the almighty yt algorhythm, good shit

Well I am personally extremely pleased to know that such a great thing as The Bear 🐻 Dance exists, and hope Anna does another amazing project entirely dedicated to exploring it 😊

Unfortunately i dont have a granny for over a decade by now. I barely knew the one from my mother's side while the one from my father's side passed away before i was born. So i didnt have a chance to taste their food.

90s nostalgia in Africa: ☠️☠️☠️

Hu. Nice video. Please tell me what music is in the outro. It's beautiful. Thank's.

bumpy bump. nice find. comment for the algorythm

0:30 Belorussian

3:58 you don’t say

For dă lăv ăf dă Domnu’Zeus

Norwegian visiting and living in Slovenia early 90s:Croatia; almost human. Serbia; less so, but owning the army and loving relationshi 7:42 p with Russia. Bosnia: Cigans and WWII criminals.

I love this!!!❤

6:35 Regarding the feasting tradition during the Pastele Blajinilor in Moldova, I know that it's not very common even around Eastern Europe, but spread in the Russian side of the continent. So I once stumbled upon a video discussing slavic funeral rituals and it turns out that the tradition to make a feast on the grave and have a recollection day for all the deceased buried at that particular grave is coming from the Kurgan culture.

2:43 change that to picka picka

I cant agree with someone who dont care about USA warcrimes

You should read the books of Antoaneta Olteanu " Mitologie Română" ,but only if you know Romanian Language .It will be translated soon,but not yet.Three large volumes and a life of real hard work.And you wanna talk about rimanian mithology in 23 minutes.Not to mention that you have no ideea about this subject. Oh dear!

Girl, I just discovered you today and this reel just made me cry in laughter. The amount of ignorence and some “attacks” that people have is astonishing! 😭

Weird? Maybe Beautiful? Totally!!!

Slavic women have always been girl bosses, especially as they become babushkas. slavic grandma and mum are the living proof of that.

Drum&Bass fuck yeah. There was this video of this Russian(?) guy with blue shoes shuffling and he looks exactly like me, so I had to learn it too.

This is because only the most fucked up Romans survived surrounded by slavs and turks

Bravo

29:48 not evil... they wait in certain night at crossovers and if they see someone with less faith in God they appear to him and tempt him . If he agrees he is generally found dead the next days somewhere close. Not evil at all...

21:01 capcaunul is a big cannibal human that sometimes have magical powers. Zmeii are most time humans like Dahaka in zoroastrism. So many things you get wrong

It started well but went downhill fast. While elements of fairy tales can be considered mythology they themselves are not mythology. Also you wrecked every fairy tale character out there.

Oh... Romanian. I misread as Roman. Still, now I'm here I may as well watch something new :)

Sad for not mentioning King Tamar with Saint Olga

16:30 Capra "she-goat" dance is related with Capricorn zodiacal sign in December-January.

14:20 ”Înstruțatul boului” (crowning oxen) is related with the "fire" Taurids meteor shower at Rusalii/Rusalka (Pentecost) in June-July... while in October-November we have another Taurids meteor shower connected with the fire celebration of Sâmedru (Saint Demetrius, Deus Mithra - slayer of bulls).. aka Halloween/Samhain... Jack o'lantern, when the Saints are marching in... and so on. I need to mention that in Romania we have two "Haloweens": 1 - "Fire of" Samedru on October 25-26th (when the gates of the Underworld are opened and people mourn their love ones in cemeteries... basically "when the saints are marching in")... 2- Saint Andrew, on November 30th (Saint Apostle Andrew - "the first one who was called" .. also patron saint of Romania - is the same as Odin/ Wotan/ Saturn/ Cronus/ Zamolxis/ Moloch/ Saint Nicholas/ Santa Claus/ Krampus... patron of wolves and ravens. eater of his own - cooked in fire - children)... ho-ho-ho ("aho, aho children and brothers") down the chimney, and eating "Gingerbrean Man" cookies.

Kartvelians mentioned! I'm always shocked how similar some narratives and characters are to Caucasian mythologies especially to Kartvelian, but Romania is just on the Other side of the Black Sea and part of same historical drama. Love to learn more and find more similarities with Georgian and Romanian mythologies

Tire Machèt in Haiti is another sword "dance" with music. It originated from some blade styles in West Africa Ewe and Balanta

Fascinating, the girl from Germany, her commentary is litteraly not a Romanian thought process but a woke westerner.

Algorithm do ur magic

Of course Romanian and especially Transylvanian culture and folklore are very rich, but you show a very extreme contempt against the West, as if trying to make up for some kind of complexes. I lived in Romania, on and off, for several years, I'm a lover of folklore, traditions and mythology, and whether you like it or not most of the stereotypes about Romania are absolutely true. You can call Western people ignorant and xenophobic and anti communist or whatever, but that won't change the reality (and that only shows you are terribly xenophobic and full of hate). Except for the very very centre of some few historical cities, all the rest of Romania and Transylvania is very "soviet" style, even the outskirts of such cities (and I don't dislike that, I should say, but it is hilarious that you deny this reality). Not everything is about vampires, but definitely Romanian folklore and popular traditions have a massive eerie vibe that matches completely the image Romania has outside. Not to mention that Romanians themselves, in their majority, exploit that too (I see you put many images of Cluj, where most youngsters are very goth, and the vampire thing is very exploited, even if the city is far from the Carpathian actual "vampiric" areas). Most villages in Transylvania have indeed a lot of legends and popular believes and habits related with "vampires" and such. There are many other things, of course, but what I mentioned is definitely the most notorious. It is nice that you try to explore the so many aspects of Romanian folklore, but you use that knowledge merely as a weapon to insult and hate Westerners or people from the outside. And I must say, from my experience in Romania, that sadly, hyper nationalist attitudes have become way too common, and fascism is spreading like crazy, very especially in the metal/blackmetal/goth/etc scenes (and not just that) where people are using Romanian myths and folklore as an instrument for that hyper nationalistic thing (scenes to which you clearly belong to btw). In the West obviously people know that things are not like a videogame says, etc, (so, please, don't be silly) and the general image is that Romania is a mix of old and modern. You have a dysfunctional obsession with what supposedly Western media says about Romania, as if you are stuck in early 80's. I've lived all across West Europe for decades, and I have never seen the depiction of Romania of which you weep so much about. That is only you mixing personal complexes with many prejudges. In movies most of British architecture looks gothic too, but they don't victimise like you do, because obviously people know there are more variety. That happens with all countries in movies and stuff. Please stop such hysterical victimism, and stop being so brutally obssessed with the West, the West has not the fault of your complexes and your issues. Btw, given that you are so proud of being Romanian, at least you should know that Dracul was the word for dragon in medieval times, and it was only much later that Dracul started to be used for diabolic. Btw, I see you brag about the economy growth of Cluj (again the complexes). The economy of Cluj is fine, but nothing to be proud of: it is a hyper expensive city for what it is, prizes are like in a mayor North European capital, but Cluj obviously is not London, nor Amsterdam (though some people there are so delusional they compare Cluj with NY). The economical bubble of Cluj is INSANE, people are using neo liberalism as a toy and they fake high prizes for everything, the atmosphere is terribly greedy. And you should know what happen with artificial economical bubbles, they explode because they rely on amounts of money that do not exist.

politicized, wtf hungary in E, russia in F and ucraine in C. than nationalistic, moldova in C and romania in B. well romania is between B & C 🙂
