Summary/Abstract: The unwritten culture of our spirituality bonds the archaic eras, the pre-Christianity, the Christianity and the modernism. Alongside folklore, the myths, rites, archetypes, rituals, customs, with their magical-ritual content, represent a particular importance in the traditional culture, through their significant and meaningful manifestations. Knowing the fundamental/defining identity values at the individual, community and national level is essential for understanding the place in the world for an individual or for an ethnicity, this understanding assuring a harmonious inclusion into society. In other words, we are different due to the environment whereto we are formed and depending on the place where we are born.
