Вярванията като ориентир на българина в миналото и днес
Beliefs as Orientation of the Bulgarian People in the Past and Today

Summary/Abstract: The conception has been adopted in scientific literature that traditional beliefs, as a part of the people's world view, belong to the past. This article aims to show that some of the traditional beliefs are alive, others are getting adapted to the new conditions, while still others are being created in our time, too. The socio-economic and spiritual crisis in the country-and its impact on the people's mental make-up provide a fertile soil for their updating today. The source of information used are the results of an enquiry, made by the author, along with materials from the mass media, providing information about the functioning of the beliefs in various circles and among different people in Bulgaria, in the Balkans and in the world.
