About this listen

Explore the world of Hungarian Paganism with this book's impressive collection of history, lore, and traditions from the Carpathian basin. The Hungarian people, also known as the Magyars, fused pre-Christian and Christian beliefs into their identity, and that fusion remains today. Exploring mythology, daily life, magic, and life passages, this book reveals the old ways of Hungarian practitioners.

Margit Toth introduces you to many aspects of the Magyar cosmos, from the creation story to homestead practices. Among many other topics, you will learn how to aid a restless spirit, what magical properties the Summer Solstice bonfire has, and why you should never wash clothes on a Tuesday. This book provides insight on ancestors, nature spirits, sacred foods, healing magic, divination, and even death.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I'm half-hungarian living abroad, and this book piqued my interest since it's like the only major book on hungarian mythology in the English language.

The book itself is well-researched and written, but the American(?) narrator noticeably struggles with the pronunciations of Hungarian words and names. This is completely normal, as even the book mentions that Hungarian is a very hard language to learn, but if someone was listening with no knowledge of the Hungarian language, they'd end up with a very mistaken idea of how loads of words and pronounced and therefore how the language itself should sound.

Maybe it's not a big deal as I make it out to be, bit I just think that surely there was someone out there with native-level english and hungarian knowledge, like myself, or even someone with a bit more interest in really learning how the words are supposed to be pronounced.

Great book, but pronunciations could use work.
