Introduction. Witchcraft, Magic, Divination and the Twenty-First Century
Magic, witchcraft, and divination have been intensely exploited fields throughout the history of anthropological thought. One of the relevance for focusing on this topic in the twenty-first century is that no other field could connect better postmodernity to the past and present of “traditional” societies; another possible focal point is that the magic and witchcraft practices give voice to represent fine recorders for social change within contem…
Witches in Fairy Tales and their Use in Therapy. Interview with Gréta Vaskor
Fairy tales (and other narratives) are used as therapeutic tools in therapy.

The location of the research is a village with an ethnically and r…

Beginning with this paper I would like to broaden the perspective on conversion and relate the processes involved more generally to life cr…
Spreading grace’ in post‐Soviet Russia (Respond to this article at http
The article addresses the revival of Russian Orthodoxy as a prominent domain in the lives of many Russians. The six authors are interested in the underlying question: What makes Russian Orthodoxy a relevent and modern source of morality and identity? The circumstances of this branch of Christianity significantly differ from what has been discussed in recent years as ‘the anthropology of Christianity’. The article proposes a thematic approach in o…
