Iele aren't demons. They are fairies.

Wonderful dance and a nice informative video.
I like the purpose of these healing dancers - they tried to help sick people, to bring luck, health and happiness. It's a very humane purpose.
I didn't like one thing here, however. During the healing men were not allowed to have any contact with women, as if a woman is the biggest evil!!! :-))))
Greetings from Lithuania!

... The rusalia were only men (no women allowed) . they cured people dancing in a circle, the head man was the 'vatafin' (kind of a shaman) who controlled the whole process. He used the smell of herbs to cure the ill, most of those herbs were poisonous.

This custom was typical for Northern Bulgaria as well under the name 'calushari' or 'rusalii'. it has the same meaning as the described in the video. The rusalii went out for a week counted from the 40th day after easter to heal people, who were ill from 'rusalia' or 'samodivska' illness. Those people, is believed, didn't respect the female magical creatures who were living near water and this is why the magical creatures punished the sinned.

Fantastic...and better that my Romanian friend Dana sent this to me...am wondering if bluegrass music, known so well in rural areas of the US ultimately came from this ancient source!?!
Great music and great learning and great history...thank you so much for creating this video!!!

It is interesting for anyone to know customs of the people from the past. All nations have interesting customs, for us, today
