COMPARED
FOLKLORE:
THE
SUPERNATURAL
CATEGORIES
Mayo 26 - 28, 2006 Sinaia – Rumania
The annual events organized by the Transylvanian Society
of Dracula continue with a symposium on compared
supernatural in the folklore and culture of several
countries, - roots, meaning and role; interaction with
religion, science and the unknown, with everyday life.
This symposium opens doors to parallel worlds and
attempts to understand what we see, to understand how we
relate to the mysterious universe.
The Society attempted to scan the Supernatural several
times in the past (“The state of the world superstition
by the year 2000” , “Communications with The Beyond”),
raising more questions than it answered. It is the first
time that the TSD attempts to study the Supernatural in
a comparative manner,- limited, though, to the countries
we shall be able to reach. The walk always starts with
the first step. But miracles do happen, don’t they?
