Bajeslovno izročilo v bohinjskem folklornem pripovedništvu

Razprava je posvečena bajnim bitjem v knjigi Naš voča so včas zapodval [Cvetek 1993], kjer je bohinjsko folklorno pripovedništvo zapisano v bohinjskih govorih. Poleg te zbirke povedk je v razpravo pritegnjen še bohinjski literarni opus pisatelja Janeza Mencingerja. Vanj je bohinjski rojak vtkal folklorne pripovedi, za katere trdi, da jih ni bilo potrebno »kaj dosti piliti ali prenarejati«. Te povedke še danes živijo v bohinjskem folklornem izročilu, nekatere od njih so se seveda že izgubile. Izgubila ali spremenila so se tudi nekatera bajna bitja iz Mencingerjevih del. Nekaj neobjavljenih terenskih zapiskov še dodatno prispeva k osvetlitvi te tematike. V omenjenem gradivu spoznavamo trdoživo bohinjsko bajeslovno dediščino, odnos do nje v Mencingerjevem pisanju in času in tudi današnji razmislek o davnih verovanjih naših prednikov. *** The treatise deals with the mythological beings depicted in the book titled Naš voča so včas zapodval (Our Father Used to Tell Us, Cvetek 1993). The book is a collection of folk narratives from Bohinj, written in the local dialects. It also contains writer Janez Mencinger's literary work focusing on this area. In his work, Mencinger included folk narratives that, according to him, "did not need much polishing or alteration." With the exception of some that had long been forgotten, many of these stories are still alive in the folklore tradition of the Bohinj area. Some of the mythical beings from Mencinger's work have likewise disappeared or have been transformed. The treatise also contains some of the so far unpublished fieldwork notes on the subject. The narratives aptly portray the headstrong nature of the mythological heritage of Bohinj, Mencinger's attitude toward the subject, and contain reflections on the ancient beliefs of our forefathers
