CHAPTER XXVII. ROUMANIAN SUPERSTITION CONTINUED: ANIMALS--WEATHER --MIXED SUPERSTITIONS, SPIRITS, SHADOWS, ETC. Op the household animals the sheep is the most highly prized by the Roumanian, who makes of it his companion, and frequently his oracle, as by its bearing it is often supposed to give warning when danger is near.

To this end a tiny threshing-flail is prepared for the male weasel, and a distaff for his female partner, and these are laid at some place the animals are known to frequent. Those houses which can boast of a house-snake are particularly lucky.3 Food is regularly placed for it near the hole; and...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land Beyond the Forest, Vol. 1 of 2: Facts, Figures, and Fancies From Transylvania In the spring of 1883 my husband was appointed to the command of the cavalry brigade in Transylvania, composed of two hussar regiments, stationed respectively at Hermanstadt and Kronstadt, -a very welcome nomination, as gratifying a long-cherished wish of mine to visit that part of the Austrian empire known as the Land beyond the forest.
