Črna mačka, talisman in blagoslov

Tamara Šterk (Author), Janez Mlinar (Mentor)

Abstract

Diplomsko delo skuša predstaviti definicijo vraževerja, sploh z ozirom na pojem religije, ki je z njim neločljivo povezan, nato tudi z magijo, ki deloma deluje v okviru vraževerja, deloma pa le-tega presega. Za cilj si zastavi prikaz vraževerja in magičnih praks v Evropi med letoma 500 in 1500 na področju bolezni in zdravljenja, uporabe zaščitnih predmetov, napovedovanja prihodnosti ter verovanja v (ne)srečne dneve in števila. Posebej je izpostavljenih nekaj vraž, ki so se preko srednjega veka ohranile vse do danes, tj. nesrečen petek in število trinajst, izogibanje črnim mačkam in hoji pod lestvijo, smola ob razbitju ogledala in raztresenju soli ter trkanje na les za zaščito. Srednjeveški pisci so veliko pozornosti posvečali čarovništvu, ki so ga videli kot grožnjo uveljavljeni religiji, kar je vodilo v prve organizirane čarovniške procese ob koncu srednjega veka. Zadnji del diplomske naloge ponuja uvid v odziv Katoliške cerkve na močno prisotno vraževerje, uporabo magičnih ritualov in praks ter razmah herezije, čemur lahko sledimo preko papeških listin, zapisov s sodnih zborov, cerkvenih zakonikov in drugih srednjeveških virov.

Secondary title:	A Black Cat, a Talisman and a Blessing: Examples of Superstition and Magical Practice in Europe Between 500 and 1500
Secondary abstract:	The undergraduate thesis attempts to present a definition of superstition, especially in relation to the concept of religion, which is linked with it to a great extent, and magic, which works partly within superstition and partly goes beyond it. Its goal is to present superstition and magical practice in Europe between 500 and 1500 in the field of illness and healing, the use of protective charms, divination and belief in (un)lucky days and numbers. Some discussed superstitions are still present today, such as: unlucky friday and the number thirteen, avoiding black cats and walking under a ladder, bad luck when breaking a mirror or spilling salt and knocking on wood for protection. Medieval writers paid a lot of attention to witchcraft, which they saw as a threat to established religion, leading to the first organized witch trials at the end of the Middle Ages. Finally, the thesis provides insights into the response of the Catolic Church to recurrent superstitions, the use of magical rituals and the rise of heresy, which can be traced through papal documents, court records, church laws and other medieval sources.
