An investigation into para-scientific imageries and esoteric nationalism around the cult of the Holy Crown of Hungary
This article examines the process of re-enchantment in Hungary through the para-scientific and esoteric nationalist interpretations of the cult of the Holy Crown. The process of esoteric and para-historical re-enchantment had already begun in the early 1980s, during the easing of the cultural policy of the Kádár regime (1956–1989). From the 1990s onwards, the Holy Crown became one of the mainsprings of esoteric and para-historical ideas, which gr…

Give me some beautiful holy images that are colorful, play music, and flash!” The Roma Pilgrimage to Csatka, Hungary
This study introduces the Csatka pilgrimage, which is one of the most significant festive events for Roma in Central and Eastern Europe. Csatka, a small and secluded village, became one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Roma since the mid-20th century. Tens of thousands of Roma, entire families from Hungary and the surrounding countries arrive to the feast on Nativity Day at the beginning of September. For them, however, the rite is not …
“Survivor Heroes” and Rising Heroes. Discrepancies in the Contemporary Hero Cult
Author illustrates the phenomenon where some socialist heroes (“survivors”) have not disappeared together with their fellows, but have remained popular with the examples of the cult of János Kádár and Imre Nagy in Hungary. *** Avtor ilustrira pojav, v katerem posamični socialistični („preživelci”) niso izginili skupaj s svojimi tovariši, temveč so ostali priljubljeni, na primeru kulta dveh madžarskih junakov, Jánosa Kádárja in Imreta Nagya
From Atilla to the heart chakra. Postmodern pilgrimages
In the decades since the change of political system, religious culture in Hungary has undergone substantial transformation, mainly due to the fact that the way has been opened for ideological pluralism. However, not only have new religious phenomena appeared as a consequence, there has also been considerable change in the vernacular religiosity of large numbers. All these changes can be clearly observed in the forms of new religious spaces, their…
Mogy. A Vessel of Ritual in Post-socialist Hungary
During the last five years, the calendar of Hungarian festivals has turned upside down. Along with the well-known rock festivals for the young (e.g., the Sziget festival), attended by hundreds of thousands every summer, a new type of cultural festival is gaining tremendous popularity in Hungary. The National Assembly of Hungarians (MOGY) is a patriotic/nationalist three-day event that attracts every segment of the Hungarian population, from teena…
Blurry borders. From heroes to celebrities
The primary objective of this paper is to analyse the connection between historical heroes and celebrities in contemporary Hungary. According to my hypothesis the historical heroes and contemporary celebrities are in close relation. Their formations were generated by similar circumstances but their cult and its peculiarities accommodate to the parameters of a given historical period. Through the case study of the “best known Hungarian” Ferenc Pus…
