Szakrális textusok – profán kontextusok A 21. századi szerelmi mágia szöveg- és cselekvéskörnyezetének egy példája
Sacred Texts – Profane Contexts. Love Magic – An Example of Verbal and Action Context

Summary/Abstract: When, where and why does a Hungarian Calvinist pray, kneeling down, in Romanian? – through this question I describe and analyze a contemporary example of love magic. I discuss here the activity of all the persons involved in diagnosing, averting and healing (seers, fortune tellers, healers, Romanian priests) visited by A0 (1964/Calvinist/female) and I reconstruct this network of relationships and analyze the religious and magical aspect of praying (’on’ someone), fasting (’on’ someone), and serving a mass (’on’ someone). In analyzing the various experiences accumulated in the social and cultural space and interpreting the world of human relationship representations, I refl ect on the dimension of linguistic behaviour where the content of rules are as determining as the conditions amongst which they function.
