Summary/Abstract: In this study we aim to analyze some of the popular fairy tales collected from Bucovina, by the famous folklorist S. FL. Marian. The interpretation of the texts has as orientation points: Mythology, magical thinking, illustrated by Lucian Blaga, but also symbolic valences of objects and beings represented in popular fantasy texts, as an integral part of the popular epic in Bucovina. The hermeneutic process is focused on highlighting mythic-symbolic elements such as fish, rose, deer, golden apple, rain or tree-legged horse from the stories selected for analysis. Both studies and dictionaries will outline the significance at least partially of the symbol elements identified in the fairy tales quoted in the Article.
