THE MARCH AMULET IN TRANSYLVANIA

Authors: Răchișan, D.;

THE MARCH AMULET IN TRANSYLVANIA

Abstract

This paper intends to highlight the impact that the March Amulet from Transylvania has on people coming from the urban and the rural environments. The synchronic analysis emphasizes, on the one hand, the unity in diversity, and on the other hand, the uniqueness of the Transylvanian March Amulet. In the past, the March Amulet had the power of an amulet, but in the present, it is subjected to desacralization. The monochromatic, bicolor, three-color, and polychromatic March Amulet reveals its evolution in Transylvania ndash; the ancestral March Amulet, the traditional March Amulet, and the contemporary March Amulet. Throughout time, the March Amulet was subjected to certain functional mutations, but it has succeeded in surviving. The braided string confers value. Throughout time, in Transylvania, a wide range of trinkets has been encountered: the March Amulet with a twinned string ending with elongated or rounded tassels a white one and a red one; the March Amulet to which a silver, a golden or a copper coin, according to the bearer‟s status or a cross is attached; the three-color March Amulet having the colors of the national flag red, yellow, blue; the March Amulet with tinder flowers; the trinket to which different things are hung ndash; the symbol which anticipates the coming of the spring spring flowers, migrating birds; the luck the chimney sweeper, the horseshoe, the trefoil with four leaves; love; health etc. The Transylvanian March Amulet fascinates everyone due to its shape and chromatism and seems to belong to a universe being under the control of the miraculous. Being transmitted from generation to generation, starting with our ancestors, we have the moral obligation of cherishing it; of revitalizing it; of confronting the present against the past, in order to take it to the future.

Lucrarea își propune să evidențieze impactul pe care îl are mărțișorul din Transilvania asupra oamenilor din mediul rural și urban. Analiza sincronică subliniază, pe de o parte, unitatea în diversitate, iar, pe de altă parte, unicitatea mărțișorului transilvănean. În trecut, mărțișorul avea forța unei amulete. În prezent este supus desacralizării. Mărțișorul monocrom, bicolor, tricolor, policrom dezvăluie evoluția mărțișorului din Transilvania ndash; mărțișor ancestral, mărțișor tradițional, mărțișor contemporan. De-a lungul timpului, mărțișorul a fost supus unor mutații funcționale, însă a reușit să supraviețuiască. Șnurul răsucit îi conferă valoare. În Transilvania, de-a lungul timpului, s-a întâlnit o gamă variată de mărțișoare: mărțișorul cu șnurul îngemănat, terminat în canafi alungiți sau rotunzi unul alb, unul roșu; mărțișorul de care se anină o monedă de argint, de aur sau de aramă în funcție de status-ul purtătorului ori o cruciuliță; mărțișorul tricolor în culorile drapelului roșu, galben, albastru; mărțișorul cu flori din iască; mărțișorul de care se acroșează diverse obiectendash;simbol care anticipează sosirea primăverii flori de primăvară, păsări călătoare; norocul coșar, potcoavă, trifoi cu patru foi; iubirea; sănătatea etc. Mărțișorul transilvănean, datorită formei, cromatismului, fascinează pe oricine și pare a aparține unui univers aflat sub tutela miraculosului. Fiind transmis din generație în generație de la străbuni, avem obligația morală de a-l prețui; de a-l revitaliza; de a confrunta prezentul cu trecutul pentru a-l propulsa spre viitor.
