Summary/Abstract: Due to the presence of the Romanian term drum(path, road, way, trip) in numerous expressions, the aim of this paper is to look back on the semiotic patterns of this lexeme. This paper presents an overview beginning with the concept of the road and its configuration in folkloric understanding, and then includes basic segments of taking a path, undergoing seminal journeys, and their constant repetition through ritual. The paper then looks at the ways in which cultural products conserve a certain vision and perception of the mystical nature of the journey and the dimensions and goals of undertaking it, all of which confirms or challenges existing theoretical views. It is concluded that forms, frames, representations, and acts that stem from archaic ways of thinking have preserved their function, importance, and influence over people’s basic actions.
