What makes Romanian folklore fascinating is precisely that it is still alive. People still: • say “să nu fie de deochi,” • knock on wood, • wear red strings, • light candles for protection, • avoid crossroads rituals, • fear envy, • believe in signs, • and mix Orthodoxy with folk spirituality. This is not a walking tour — it is an immersion into the living magic, superstitions, and hidden traditions of Romania.
