The Procession of the Dead - Part I



I " born with the veil "

you see them in spirit, in a dream ...

parades are "here and there, walking between one world and another, and usually - and rightly so! - Passing a pregnant sentence to reveal the secrets they learned in the procession.
The smell of fennel seeds stinging smell of human flesh at the stake and that's why I collect intact, the tie beam and never burn. The pick of Isarno in that, where there is still wild. Well-protected leave in a dream is always wise .. I wonder what ever touch you battle ... by a "blue born" can be expected of all ...


This Marazul is Schiarazula, " Scjarajule Maracjule ( LINK ) Friulian folk song that belongs to the repertoire of Benandanti , performed by Angelo Branduardi Futuro Antico II in.

In the following excerpts from: The Benandanti Carlo Ginzburg


"... as the conferences the sorcerers, the processions of the dead can be reproduced from benandanti only "in spirit, "ie, leaving the dead body, surrounded by a deep lethargy. In both cases, you go in spirit" is, as has been pointed out repeatedly, a kind of death: a death fictitious, however, by having a benandanti risk event that could lead to actual death, if the spirit does not return back from night meetings to take possession of abandoned body. So hibernation - this might be caused by the use of ointments or soporific catallessi of unknown nature - it looked like a appropriate means to tap into the mysterious world of the dead and otherwise unattainable, the spirits restlessly wander the Earth, which in the "agricultural" preserve the features of the cult of the ancient terrible "Wild hunt", while the other version, the "funeral" took the most composed and consistent with Christian tradition of the procession desscritta for the first time in Orderic Vital

BUT ... it can also happen that the spirit of a benandante lingered outside the body for more than 24 hours:

"Similarly, according to the Gasparutto, the spirit of that benandanti" Stano at least 24 hours to return "by the nocturnal gatherings or committing any foul, is" separate from the body, and then ... sepelendolo, ihis mind is wandering, et malandante is called - had to wander implacable "hora until that that body had to die," as an evil presence, hostile. Thus, the dead punish benandanti who break the secret of their nocturnal processions stick with the sorghum canes that grow in gardens ...".


And speaking of " born with a veil" ( as Benandanti), also says its Bermani:

"In many countries of Europe to the" born with a caul "is attributed magical powers, including the main ones are: enjoy protection against water and fire (since before birth, the amniotic membrane allows the child's life in which surrounds the baby in his womb, after birth the "shirt" to prevent his death by fire or water) to be invulnerable to injury (as it is protected by the "veil", a sort of magical armor) , the belief that, for example, has been shown to be present in Romagna, become invisible (because behind the "veil") have a special relationship with the dead (and this is because the "shirt" refers to the shroud and is contiguous to the world of the dead belonged to that of the unborn, which allows them to have a second view), project his soul out of the body and "processed in animals "go to the A nother world (the" shirt "is the soul of the place" outside ", a guardian spirit that can turn into an animal in a dream and look to other people, not randomly HAMR means housing in both senses of the soul in shape, usually animal, and amnion, placenta. From helm that F. Kluge shows an Indo-European root Kel ("protecting cover") derives hamle (Liege), which literally means "the child's shirt," So, hamle, the Prince of Denmark Shakespeare, was predisposed to see ghosts . How, for example, wrote Gabriel Naude (1600-1653), about France, "all children born in the days leading Ember ordinariam institution on their own shirt or membrane and can much more easily than others come to know and get familiar with in the genes that are intended to guide them.
