    Horns of god Vidasus

    Paganism is based on the belief that menand women have equal rights and that the

    first and oldest deity in human history wasthe Grand Mother, the one that gave life toall things, the one whose traces can befound in the neolith period. Man and womanalso signify two sexes without whom life innature is impossible and whose bodilyconnection is nothing short of nature'sblessing. That's why the symbols ofpaganism were always symbols of sexualityand fertility, especially the horns, snake,staff, circle, etc.

    The most reliable traces of the Illyrian cultof fertility are evident in certain parts ofBosnian love magic, closely tied tostimulating fertility, where one can clearlynotice a focus on individual forces ofcreation. It is noticeable that in magicalpractice nudity during rituals is emphasized

    especially if the woman or girl is taking the"horns" of the house with her hands, i.e.roof, and repeats a magical formula. Whileuttering the curse she firmly holds the roof,or even shakes it, desiring to attract theattention of none other than god Vidasushimself.

    Horns are, as it is known, an ancient symbol

    of fertility and power but also the ancientcharacteristic of the moon goddess.According to the occult definition the roofrepresents a heavenly part of the house, asdoes the trunk of the tree (beam or "horns"of the roof are made out of tree), while thehome threshold is closely tied to the earth,its function is to signify a border betweenthe external and internal world, through

    which one enters and exits, and that's whyin folk religion of BiH it denotes a vagina -

    "it's not good for a girl to sit on thethreshold since she will have difficultygiving birth", etc. In this short analysis wecannot ignore a very important piece of

    information which relates to the descriptionof Vidasus, god of fertility and nature,whose status symbols were large horns onthe head, and the ritual holding of the"horns" is explained by this fact. Nudity, issimilarly, one of the key sequences in thepagan ritual of fertility, where there is nofalse morality, instead the beauty andsexuality of the human body is celebrated.In the preserved relief depictions nakedgirls are dancing around god Vidasus(faeries, nymphs) with long, unbraided hair.

    There are more preserved data whichconfirm the thesis that we are talking aboutVidasus and rituals dedicated to him.Namely, in order to subjugate a man to herwill, usually a husband, a woman looks at himthrough her hand, discreetly, and repeats

    the following formula, which has apronounced sexual tone, three times: "Place

     your horns between my legs!". This ritual isnothing else but an imitation of seduction ofVidasus by his companion goddess Tana,probably from some rituals dedicated to therenewal of the cycle of fertility. One couldconclude that love magic is based on mimicryof ancient forces of nature or allusion of

    their heavenly power, all with the goal ofconnection and harmony with the eternalcircle of fertility and life. Proof of this arethe beginning of all magical formulas whichare always based on the allusion "as I.sothat."

    Penis

    The importance of sexuality and fertility inhuman history, almost to the point of

    exaggeration, is perhaps best presented bythe examples of ancient gods. Greek godPriapus, son of Dionysus and Aphrodite, adeity with an extremely large phallus, is theclassic symbol of the cult of penis worshipwhich is out of control and sense. Beforehim the cult of Pan was known, RomanSilvanus or the Illyrian Vidasus, which in itsessence celebrates unrestrained sexualitybut also emphasises the importance ofmaintaining uninterrupted continuity offertility as the basic need of all humanity.

    Priapus 

    In folk religion of BiH the penis wascompared to a stick i.e. wood. In certainmagical rituals during a friends marriage, a

     joke was usually done by his friends whowould quietly sneak upon the grooms houseand uttering a magical formula overturn awooden stick inside his yard, and accordingto stories the groom would be unable toachieve an erection.

    Bosnian men pay special attention to theirpenis, probably because the folk name for it

    is usually "male strength" and sometimes"anguish", because of the traditional

    obsession of men with their penis. Besidesindicating strength, the phallus haspronounced prophylactic characteristics.That we are talking about a great force

    which will chase away all evil when uttered isdemonstrated by the following examplefrom the ritual practice of our stravarke.While pouring molten lead into waterstravarka from Velika Kladuša utters:

    Fear be gone, you are chased by thefather's thing!

    With the phrase "father's thing" one alludesto penis. In the exorcist formula fromTešanj the following is mentioned:

    A dark dog crosses the water with four legs,fifth tail,sixth penis and seventh testicles.No saddlebag in the testiclesnor a stick in the penis....nor spells on my child!

    Though, according to folk belief, there is noway that someone can cast a spell on thegenitalia nor cause a disease since they areparts of the body that no one can see, menhave a primal fear from all forms of sexualpowerlessness. Based on this we canconclude that identification of men with thepenis often crosses all normal forms and

    often becomes an obsession. In thedescription of the magical protection of thepenis, the man holds his penis while going tothe bathroom and utters:

    My penis, you are the boss of the entire castle(estate),may no one hurt you.

    If a man becomes impotent he will

    undertake all necessary things to bring itback, even if he has to use magical recipes.In Visoko a man wishing to restore hispotency would eat roasted sparrows with

    rice.

    In accordance with fertility representshappiness in the narrowest sense, which isthen again identified with life itself,sexually functional penis is a source of lifehappiness and vitality for every man. Lookingat him through spread out fingers the mantalks to him with a magical formula:

    My penis, I'm looking at you through myfingers;

     you have small eyes but great powers, you see in the darkness as you do in light,please give me luckand may you never grow tiredand may you always make me happy.

    Another interesting thing is that the ritual

    of looking through the fingers is typical andcharacteristic of Bosnian love magic, forexample when a girl or wife spreads herfinger and looks through them at the manshe desires or loves, followed by a small loveformula. A woman would secretly lookthrough the fingers of her right hand andwould repeat this formula three times:

    You look at me (the name of the man)lovingly,string pearls,give your soul for me,elzalif amin veledalin amin.

    For a man to be generally happy with hispenis, besides a good erection one strivesfor plentiful sperm which in itself

    guarantees fertility itself. But, besides thefact that sperm is among the folk known as

    "seed of life", it too has prophylactic powerslike the penis, especially ones which need toprotect him from spells which womenperform against his sexual powers. When a

    man masturbates and finishes, he wouldfollow the act by this magical formula:

    As I had come,so too may my luck masturbate (walk, go)across the world,and never let a female put a spell on me.

    Trimming or circumcision

    Circumcision of the penis is known as a partof the tradition among the Arabs and Jewsand according to certain data, all threemessengers of God (Moses, Jesus andMohammed) were circumcised, which isactually one of the main characteristic ofmonotheism itself. There are someindications that circumcision was practicedeven before these instances, and that it isnot an original feature of monotheism. But,no matter, removal of the foreskin of thepenis, besides having health benefits forthe man, became a part of magical beliefwhich are connected to fertility andsummoning good fortune.

    From various beliefs the following were

    most frequent: among the people anuncircumcised penis is called a "mutt's"penis, since in that state it resembles apenis of that particular animal, and isconsidered to be unclean and dirty as such.Similarly, in Bosnia it was believed that itcan be beneficial to get hold of the foreskinof a circumcised čifut (Jew), since theywere known as extremely stingy people, and

    one would always seek to gain somethingfrom the stingy people through magical

    rituals, since the borrowed money or itemattracted new luck. When one would getpossession of such a foreskin, the followingwould be uttered: "As this penis is happily

    circumcised, may my luck be happy!"

    According to folk legends, if a child diesuncircumcised, the Imam would break thepinkie finger of his right hand prior to thefuneral, since apparently it is not good tobury the child before this act. Why this isso, I have not managed to surmise, thoughthere are indications that it was believedthat the boy becomes a Muslim aftercircumcision. Evidently the pinkie fingerrepresents a substitute for the penis, andthe act of breaking a substitute tocircumcision, which is a logical conclusionwhich is grounded in love magic. Namely,when a young man wishes to capture amaiden's heart via magic, he would puncturehis pinkie finger and have three drops ofblood fall on a sugar cube and place it in her

    coffee. But, as I succeeded in recordingfrom the person revealing these details, sheclaimed that if she were a man she wouldnever perform such a ritual since "you areweakening your strength and life", whichreturns us again to the folk name for thepenis - male strength.

    After the circumcision the foreskin is dried

    and thrown to a rooster, so that the boy,once grown, receives the sexual power ofthe rooster, which stands for a fertile andsexually active animal.

    Cernunnos or Vidasus 

    Vagina

    Fear of vagina or a woman causedmythological traditions of women as asymbol of evil, manifested in the form ofvarious demonic beings, and among the

    oldest ones recorded is the one aboutTiamat. Origin of this irrational fear, shouldbe initially sought in the physiognomy of thefemale body. Vagina is the name whichcomes from the eponymous Latin word whichliterally means "scabbard". Compared to thepenis, which is protruded and clearly visibleon the body, vagina is withdrawn inside thebody and as such was a mystery for thehuman psyche and an ideal topic for allimaginative notions and fictions. Even itsvisual identity, primarily because of thepubic hair and clitoris, it created animpression of something mystical and full ofdanger, which caused fear among somecreators of myths as well as extremelyunreal notions. Irrational fear from a womanamong men never disappeared and violenceover women, especially rape, is actually one

    of the rudiments of that time (along withthe phobia) which is contrary to the popular

    belief that rape is done out ofuncontrollable passion and lust. Monotheismand patriarch grew up on that same fear,since all things which happened at the end

    of the matriarch were aimed against women,ostracized and turned against the mostvulnerable members of the society.

    Menstrual period is a natural occurrence andwith that an authentic manifestation of theforces of nature inside humans, i.e. woman.

    First menstruation, which denotes a periodof fertility, among girls is called menarcheand in its beginning it is pretty irregular i.e.unstable which clearly alludes to certainparts of the Bosnian folk calendar. Namely,in the period from February 14th (exactly atnoon - highest point of the sun) until March14th, also until noon, the reign of Veljača(February) lasts, an extremely unstable

    period of winter, when according to folkbelief bura (gale) north and south wind arefighting. Right after it comes the seven dayperiod called Baba (Grandma) which issimilarly fickle, unpredictable and oftenextreme - snow can fall during the day, windblows and then the sun appears suddenly,etc. Both names Veljača and Baba, perfectlydescribe the maturing process of a woman,

    hormonal cycle, pre-menstrual syndrome,which finishes with Did (/Grandpa/ called by

    our elders Did Grgo) which comes rightafter Baba, Did is "good natured since insidehim resides the harvest of potato!" If weagree that a potato resembles a testicle and

    that the laying of seeds in the earth is anact of fertilisation, then we can easily cometo a conclusion as to why after Did comes aperiod of nine days, during which, everythree days, there is a change of restlessand playful beings, i.e. children, which arecalled by our people Stablići, Kablići andŠtapići. In almost all traditional stories ofour people there is mention of three sonswhich are the main actors in the story.Similarly, I think it's not necessary toespecially emphasize that nine daysrepresent nine months of pregnancy. It isinteresting that the entire cycle extends toFebruary, March and ends at the beginningof April when the unstoppable awakening andproliferation of nature occurs.

    Folk calendar is actually a calendar ofagriculture and as such follows the naturalcycles which manifest through old deities of

    the Bosnian cult of fertility and with that itis its only authentic example.

    coitus. But, after that, the woman becomesthe barer of sexual power which is used tocontinue reproduction. In spurringreproduction, the woman is called on the

    vagina through a magical formula, forexample, while planting beans she wouldrepeat:

    Shrubs as bushes,may you boil as a turnip,may you be as sweet as my vagina!

    A married woman i.e. a sexually activewoman, accumulates a lot of fertility energyand uses it to a maximum extent to allthings which precede the creation of thefoetus. The term vagina is often used in lovemagic, when women place or wipe sugarcubes on their vagina and place them in theirhusband's coffee. In Bosnian magic it isclaimed about a woman that she possessestwo types of blood; the first has the powerto enchant a certain man and the second to

    curb his temper and wrath. A strong force ishidden in menstrual blood and its magic isbased on the number 40.

    From certain information givers, of olderage, I heard that women would try and gohave a bath before their husbands aftersex, and only after her did the husband go.As soon as they would shower, they would

    pour the dirty water from the tub and shewould turn it upside down, uttering a magicalformula. When the husband would arrive tohave a bath he would turn the tub and wouldbe "struck" by the spell with which thewoman wanted to dominate him. Similarly, inthe desire to firmly bind her husband toherself the wife would place nine sugarcubes underneath the matrass in the middle

    where their genitals are placed whenthey're lying. On each sugar cube she

    dropped three drops of blood and uttered amagical formula. That night her task is tomake love to her husband and to place thosesugar cubes during the following days into

    his coffee or some other drink.

    Besides the mentioned utilising energy whichis created due to sexual act is very famousin other forms of Bosnian magic, especiallythe one which we call white magic. When shewants to avert her husband from alcohol thewife would take a fistful of dirt underneatha bridge, she would wrap it into a rag andplace underneath the marital bed. She needsto make love to him and in the morning takethe dirt underneath the bed and feed himthe dirt in the following few days slowly ormix it into his drinks.

    If the husband is being prepared to go on animportant trip then he is making love withhis wife and in the end he says:

    As this coitus is sweet to you, woman,so too shall we be followed by sweet luck!

    Then he would take off his coat and coverher vagina uttering:

    Here is an old coat and I will go with luck onmy trip!

    Then the woman would lightly thrust thepenis into the anus three times.

    Sperm which is a result of a sexual act,especially one mixed with vaginal juices,represents a sexual sacrament whose poweris great that if it were absorbed by a rag itcan later be used in individual magicalrituals.

    Degradation of sexuality

    Nature itself is the greatest altar whichexists, which was surely familiar to ourancestors, as well as the fact thatrespecting natural forces we are returningto ourselves, we are being spiritualised andreset. It's amazing manifestation isobserved in the miraculous symbiosis of aman and woman, which as a couple, throughrituals of fertility, achieve the effect ofharmony and concord with that energy, they

    blend in it, and in such a manner connecttheir physical bodies and mental energy evenstronger. In many ways this has causedpositive reactions and certainly made theirmarriage even stronger and their familyharmonious, since besides sensual pleasure,the couple tried to awaken fertility in theirlife surroundings, ensure a better harvest,crop yield, and at the same time chase away

    all evil forces which are in a constant battleagainst life and forces of good.

    This highly social cult destroyed to agreater extent monotheism with itsnarrowness and disinclination towards anytype of tolerance towards things which aredifferent and with violent decadence madepeople with these remarkable religious-

    magical practices into persons which frombirth had to suppress sexual energy insideof themselves. But, when we analyse in moredetail the legend about Adam and Eve,especially from the standpoint of theBogomils, we come to pretty interestingconclusions which paint a fairly differentpicture than the one which is being forcedon us for centuries by fanatical interpretersof religion. Namely, it is clearly obvious that

    inborn human curiosity opened the way

    towards awakening sexuality and so becamethe synonym for the original sin for whichthey were expelled from heaven, a place ofplenty and fruits into a wild region, where

    the first mythological people had to createlife and fertility (food). Similarly, when wetake a look at the other version, the oneincluding a snake, we come to a similarinterpretation according to which the snake,ancient symbol of fertility, awakenedsexuality in Adam and Eve and the desirefor fertility, so that they can gain self-consciousness and control over their lives,and in a way become independent from god.This is why the desire for degradation of anatural and inborn human need for healthysexuality is unfathomable, this need hasbeen used for practical purposes from thebeginning of times; this degradation hasresulted in us trying to uncover in the 21stcentury things which have been discoveredby our pagan forefathers in ancient times.

    Though it is not an original statement ofAleister Crowley, it is convenient to quotehim and his conclusion that suppression ofsexual urges is the main reason ofperversions of all forms, for aggression andall other anomalies of this modern world.Sexual frustration of the modern man,which was inconceivable for people in ancienttimes, is the result of systematic

    destruction of sexual consciousness inmonotheism, which subordinated women andmade them lower beings, bringing her underthe term "birth machine" and to the manforced sex exclusively as the need to createoffspring. Everything else, especiallyenjoyment in the sexual act, was pronouncedas undesirable since, as it is known, from thevery start monotheism tried to separate

    man from nature, his primordial cradle.

    Cult of fertility is in principle based onvarious sexual activities. Use of energywhich is produced by sexual arousal,especially before and during orgasm, moves

    the forces of nature, if they are focused inthe desired direction, can call upon all thoseaspect of happiness necessary for thecompletion of a goal. Studying the availabledata I noticed that all those ritualmovements and gestures in the Bosnian cultof fertility have a goal of primarilyconnecting in a more intimate way humanswith nature itself, its source, and with thatcompound spur fertility in both sides.Healthy sexual organ, intimate hygiene, aswell as cleanliness of the entire bodyrepresented a guarantee that the ritual willproduce a positive result and with its statereflect on for example, the cleanliness ofgrains, i.e. that it will be cockle free. Desirefor fertility unquestionably dominated allcrude social norms of behaviour, which weremore pronounced in rural than in urban

    areas, and with that they defied theconservative upbringing which was adverselydirected towards any form of sexualitywhich was seen as immoral and demonicactivity.

    In certain ways the archaic procedures ofintimate touching of the male organ with theelements of nature, primarily dirt, trees and

    seeds, is the primordial connecting of manwith that thing which is inborn ever sincecreation. I am of the opinion that the entireliving world recognises itself andcommunicates through fertility andeverything else which it represents in thedeeper sense. Fertility rituals are not onlyimportant for the maintenance of fertilitybut also for the wellbeing of the body. It is

    noticeable in those ritual actions in whichthe man is talking to his penis, where

    genuine concern is expressed about thatbody part, its vitality. Of course, thebenefits of such activity are manifold, andamong the most important are that the men

    of that age got to know and develop theirsexuality and strengthened his belonging tothe community.

    Rituals of invoking fertility

    Cult of fertility always belonged to thecommon folk, farmers and herdsmen, and it

    can therefore be considered as an integralpart of folk magic, whose ritual actions andbeliefs intensified a fruitful year, in orderto ensure enough food to feed thecommunity. Identical rituals of the cult offertility across Europe had withinthemselves a pronounced sexual note, i.e.rituals of fertility moulded in the coitus of aman and woman in nature, usually in a field,

    in order to bless the earth with such an actand spur it to constant fertility. In northernEurope, in lands with rich, i.e. nurtured,pagan tradition these rituals wereperformed during spring breaks. Since weare talking about an exceptional andpowerful force, sexual energy has numerousbenefits in paganism. It is used, amongother things, as an offer to spiritual forces,

    for summoning deities, it is used to raiseconsciousness and knowledge, achieveinspiration, enable permeation into hiddenand mystical phenomena, is used forstrengthening props, blessing, healing, etc.It is illustrative to mention a segment ofpagan rituals, in order to understand sexualenergy a bit better. In ancient rituals theGrand priest would spray the witches withhis sperm which are kneeling naked in a

    circle around him, with which he is actually

    blessing them. With that he is transferringenergy of god Pan onto them, i.e. everythingthat he represents, with which they becamemore powerful, vital and immune to evil.

    These are some of the examples of themagical rituals in the cult of fertility whichwere present in our lands for centuries. Inthem one can note an intimate relationship

    of man and nature as well as celebration oflife through creation. As fertility was morepronounced the power of individuals rosehigher, but also their ability to overcome alladversity and everyday issues. Pronouncedfertility spurs great power against diseasesand bad luck which is evidenced by some ofour but also some Arabian beliefs. Namely,in Algeria and Morocco it is believed that a

    woman which gives birth to twins acquiresbaraka - power of healing certain diseases,while in our region it was claimed that awoman which gave birth to twins can chaseaway bad weather if she turns her nakedbehind towards the clouds.

    In intimacy with nature

    When corn is being sown the owner of theproperty touches the earth with his penis

    and utters: "May my corn be thistriangular!". Then he raises his penistowards the sky and utters: "May the cornstalks be this straight, like my penis". It wasbelieved that after such a ritual the cornwill give rich yields, a few corn cobs on onestalk. If, however he wishes for the corn togerminate quickly into the ground, he would,after having sex with his wife, utter thefollowing formula: "As the soon is exitingquickly, may the corn equally spring from theground".

    When grain is being sown, then somequicklime is added to the mixture, then thehusband performs coitus with his wife,ejaculates into his hand and sprinkle thegrain kernels uttering: "God help me! Mygrain, as this sperm is dripping from my

    hand, so may you grow nice and healthy fromthe earth. As the testicles are healthy, maymy grain be healthy and beautiful."

    In the spring the man would touch with hispenis every fruit tree and repeat the samemagical formula: "As birth (children) is in myhouse, so too may all trees bear fruit (or"give fruit)".

    When cabbage is being sown the husbandcomes to the field and utters the followingformula: "I sow cabbage and with my penissmooth creases. As many hairs that I have,so many cabbage heads may it be!". Then heurinates a bit on the crease. It was believedthat the cabbage was wet after that.

    hairs, they stand next to the tree, take outtheir penises and each of them utters thefollowing formula: "Do you hear quince, howmany hairs there are around the penis! As

    far as my penis can sprinkle and throw urine,so may you throw your flowers and fruit!"

    When the grains are full of mildew, then theowner goes into the field on a young Friday,takes off his pants and turns his bottomtowards the grains and farts, uttering:"grains, I'm not farting on you but on themildew. As the wind exits me, may mildewexit the grains. As my bottom is clean, maymy grain also be clean!"

    When the man goes into the field to sowgrains, he strips naked, and after threerows of grains it will be clean i.e. withoutcockle.

    Naked and healthy man would go at nightoutside and run through the grains and

    utter: "As I'm running here healthy, may mywheat advance quickly and healthy! As thereare two eyes in my head as two kernels, mayeverything be clear in my wheat."

    When a woman plans on sowing onions in hergarden then her husband mixes the seedswith one hand while holding his testicleswith the other and returns them in a circle.

    After that the woman goes into the gardenand plants it so that she plants every seedrhythmically lowering the seed between herlegs into the hole in the ground, i.e. crossingher vagina with the seeds. According to folkbelief the onion which "sees" the vagina willgrow faster and better than the one thatdidn't see it.

    ravnopravnosti muškarca i žene, kultplodnosti je nastavio egzistirati, a supstratnekadašnjem Velikom svećeniku i Velikojsvećenici pronađen je u braku, odnosno muž i

    žena su mogli u intimi svog doma ili imanja,bez ikakve osude nastaviti sa ritualnompraksom podsticanja plodnosti i očuvanjusamog života.

    Rogovi boga Vidasusa

    Paganizam se temelji na vjerovanju kako sumuškarac i žena ravnopravni te da je prvo inajstarije božanstvo u ljudskoj povijesti bilaVelika Majka, ona koja je podarila životsvemu, a čije tragove obožavanja nailazimo

     još u neolitu. Muškarac i žena takođeroznačavaju dva spola bez kojih je nemogućživot u prirodi i čije tjelesno spajanje jeništa drugo nego sam blagoslov prirode. Zbogtoga su simbol paganizma oduvijek bilisimboli seksualnosti i plodnosti, posebnorogovi, zmija, štap, krug, etc.

    Najpouzdaniji tragovi o ilirskom kultuplodnosti vidljivi su u pojedinim dijelovimabosanske ljubavne magije, usko vezane zastimulisanje fertilnosti, gdje se jasno uočavafokus na pojedine sile stvaranja. Primjetno

     je kako se u magijskoj praksi potenciranagost pri izvođenju rituala naročito ako sedjevojka ili žena hvataju rukama za "rogove"kuće, odnosno strehu, i tom prilikomponavljaju magijsku formulu. Dok izgovarazakletvu ona se čvrsto drži rukama zastrehu, ili je pak trese, želeći na taj načinprivući pažnju nikog drugog nego li samogboga Vidasusa.

    Rogovi su, kako je poznato, antički simbol

    plodnosti i moći ali i drevno obilježjemjesečeve boginje. Prema okultnoj definicijikrov predstavlja nebeski dio kuće, kao ikrošnje drveća ( grede ili "rogovi" krova su

    izrađeni od drveta), dok je kućni prag uskopovezan sa zemljom, njegova je funkcija daoznačava granicu između vanjskog iunutarnjeg svijeta, kroz koji se ulazi iliizlazi, i zbog toga u narodnoj religiji BiH onoznačava vaginu - "ne valja da djevojka sjedina kućnom pragu jer će teško se poroditi",etc.

    U ovoj kratkoj analizi nikako se ne smijeignorirati jedan iznimno bitan podatak kojise tiče samog opisa Vidasusa, boga plodnostii prirode, čiji su statusni simboli bili velikirogovi na glavi, te upravo ritualni postupakhvatanja za "rogove" ima u tome svojeobjašnjenje. Nagost je, isto tako, jedna odključnih sekvenci paganskih obredaplodnosti, gdje ne postoji lažni moral, već seslavi ljepota i seksualna moć ljudskog tijela.

    U sačuvanim reljefnim prikazima oko bogaVidasusa uvijek plešu nage djevojke (vile,nimfe) duge raspletene kose.

    Postoji još sačuvanih podataka kojipotvrđuju tezu kako je riječ o Vidasusu iritualima posvećenim upravo njemu. Naime,da bi podčinila svojoj volji muškarca, prijesvega muža, žena ga diskretno pogleda kroz

    prste svoje ruke i tri puta ponovi formulu sanaglašenim seksualnim prizvukom: "Ti svojeroge među moje noge!". Navedeni ritual jeništa drugo nego imitacija zavođenjaVidasusa od strane njegove pratilje boginjeTane, vjerovatno u nekom od obredaobnavljanja ciklusa plodnosti. Time bi semoglo konstatirati kako se sva ljubavnamagija bazira na oponašanju drevnih sila

    prirode ili aludiranju na njihove božanskemoći, a sve u cilju spajanja i harmoniziranja

    sa vječnim krugom plodnosti i života. Dokaztoga su i počeci svih magijski formula koji seuvijek temelje na aludiranju "kako ja...takoda.."

    Penis

    Koliko su seksualnost i plodnost bitne uljudskoj povijesti, da bi se u njima ponekad ipretjerivalo, možda najbolje prezentujuprimjeri antičkih bogova. Grčki bog Prijat,

    sin Dioniza i Afrodite, božanstvo sa iznimnovelikim falusom, klasičan je simbol kultaobožavanja penisa koji se otrgnuo svakojkontroli i razumu. Prije njega poznat je kultPana, rimskog Silvana ili ilirskog Vidasusa,koji u svojoj osnovi slavi nesputanuseksualnost ali i naglašava važnostodržavanja neprekidnog kontinuitetaplodnosti kao temeljne potrebe cijelogčovječanstva.

    Prijat 

    Penis je u narodnoj religiji BiH upoređen saštapom odnosno sa drvetom. U pojedinimobredima čaranja prilikom svadbe prijateljimladoženje, ako se žele malo našaliti sa njim,znali su prve bračne noći tiho se prišunjati

    kući mladoženje i uz magijsku formulunaopako okrenuti neki štap koji se nalazio u

    dvorištu njegovog doma, nakon čega, premapredaji, on nije mogao postići erekciju uda.

    Bosanski muškarac izuzetnu pažnju poklanja

    svom spolovilu, vjerovatno iz razloga što se unarodnom govoru on često naziva i „muškasnaga“ a ponekad i „muka“, zbogtradicionalne opsesije muškarca svojimpenisom. Falus osim što predstavlja plodnoston ima i naglašena profilaktička svojstva. Da

     je riječ o velikoj sili na čiji će spomenustuknuti zlo demonstrira i sljedeći primjeriz ritualne prakse naših stravarki. Dokizlijeva rastopljeno olovo u vodu stravarka izVelike Kladuše govori: „Bježi straha tjera teočeva sprava!“. Iza izraza „očeva sprava“aludira se zapravo na penis. U egzorcističkojformuli iz Tešnja navodi se sljedeće:

    Mrk pas vodu gazi četirima nogama,petog repa, šestog penisaa sedmih muda.Ni u mudima bisaga, ni u penisu štapa... ni na

    mom djetetu uroka!.

    Iako prema narodnom vjerovanju vaginu ipenis niko ne može ureći odnosno izazvati imbolest, jer su mjesta na tijelu koja drugi nemogu vidjeti, muškarac posjeduje iskonskistrah od svakog oblika seksualne nemoći. Naosnovu toga može se zaključiti kakoidentifikacija muškarca sa penisom često

    prelazi svaku normalnu formu i nerjetkopostaje opsesija. U opisu magijske zaštitepenisa muškarac odlazeći u wc, kako bimokrio, držeći ud u ruci govori:

    Moj penisu, ti si gazda od cijelog dvora,niko tebi ne naudio.

    Desi li se da neki muškarac postane

    impotentan on će poduzeti sve mogućenačine da je povrati, pa makar se u tome

    morao poslužiti i magijskim receptima. UVisokom muškarac koji želi povratitipotenciju jede pečene vrabce pripremljenena riži.

    Sukladno tome da plodnost predstavlja unajužem pojmu i sreću, koja se opetidentificira sa samim životom, seksualnofunkcionalan penis je za svakog muškarcaizvor životne sreće i vitalnosti. Pogledavši gakroz raširene prste ruke muškarac mu seobraća magijskom formulom:

    Penisu moj, ja gledam kroz ove prste;u tebe su male oči al' velike moći,ti vidiš u danu kao i u noći,da mi dadeš sreću i nikad ne sustoi uvijek mene sretna učinio.

    Ono što je još interesantno jeste da ritualnipokret progledavanja kroz raširene prste jeuobičajen i karakterističan za bosansku

    ljubavnu magiju, kada djevojka ili suprugaraširi prste i kroz njih gleda u muškarcakojeg želi ili voli, prateći taj postupak nekomkratkom ljubavnom formulom. Na primjer,djevojka krišom gleda kroz prste desne rukei tri puta ponovi formulu:

    Milo gledaš N u mene,biser nižeš,

    za mnom dušu daješ,elzalif amin veledalin amin.

    Da bi muškarac generalno bio zadovoljansvojim penisom, osim dobre erekcije, teži sei ka obilnom svršavanju koje garantira unačelu i samu plodnost. No, osim što jesperma u narodnom govoru „sjeme života“,ona poput penisa ima profilaktična svojstva,

    posebno ona koja ga trebaju zaštititi odčarolija koje rade žene a naročito onih

    usmjereni ka spolnoj nemoći. Kada muškaracmastrubira i svrši on taj čin popratisljedećom magijskom formulom:

    Kako god sam ja svršio,tako mi sreća drkala po svijetu,i mene nikad žensko ne moglo začarati.

    Obrezivanje ili sunet

    Obrezivanje penisa ili sunet (cirkumcizija)

    poznat je dio tradicije kod Arapa i Židova teprema nekim podacima sva tri božijaposlanika (Mojsije, Isus i Muhamed) bili suobrezani, što je zapravo jedno od glavnihobilježja samog monoteizma. Postoje i nekeindicije kako je i prije ovih poznatihpodataka postojalo obrezivanje kododređenih naroda te da ono nije originalniproizvod jednoboštva. No, kako bilo,odstranjivanje jednog dijela kožice sapenisa, osim što je izuzetno korisno zbogzdravlja samog muškarca, postalo je i dijelommagijskih vjerovanja, koja opet imaju vezusa plodnošću i prizivanjem sreće.

    Od različitih vjerovanja najčešća su bilasljedeća: u narodu se neobrezan penis naziva„pasjim“, jer navodno najviše podsjeća naspolni organ te životinje, i kao takav smatra

    se nečistim, prljavim. U Bosni se, isto tako,vjerovalo da je jako dobro doći do kožiceobrezanog čifuta (Židova), jer su oni bilipoznati kao izuzetno škrt narod, a od škrticase uvijek kroz rituale prizivanje srećegledalo da se nešto dobije, pošto je posuđeninovac ili predmet privlačio novu sreću. Kadabi se došlo u posjed kožice od čifuta, ondase govorilo: „Kako je god ovaj glavić sretno

    obrezan, tako moja sreća sretna bila!“

     je tako nisam uspio doznati mada postojiindicija utemeljena na vjerovanju da dječakpostaje musliman tek kada se osuneti.Evidentno je da mali prst predstavljazamjenu za penis, a njegovo lomljenjesupstitut obrezivanju, što je vrlo logičanzaključak koji ima uporište u ljubavnojmagiji.

    Vagina

    Strah od vagine ili općenito žene proizveo je

    i kroz mitološke predaje mnogobrojnepredstave o ženi simbolu zla, manifestiran uobličju raznih demonskih bića, a međunajstarijim zabilježenim je onaj o Tiamat.Porijeklo tog neracionalnog straha treba,prije svega, tražiti u samoj fizionomijiženskog tijela. Vagina je naziv koja potječeod istoimene latinske riječi koja doslovnoznači "korice mača". U odnosu na penis, koji

     je isturen i sasvim vidljiv na tijelu, vagina jeuvučena u tijelo i kao takva kroz mnogastoljeća bila je potpuna nepoznanica zaljudsko poimanje te idealna tema za svevrste maštoviti predodžbi i fikcija. Čak injen vizualni oblik, prvenstveno zbogpubičnih dlaka i klitorisa, stvarao je dojamnečeg mističnog i prepunog opasnosti, što jekod pojedinih kreatora mitova i legendiizazivalo bojazan i podsticalo krajnje

    nerealne predodžbe. Iracionalni strah odžene kod muškarca nikada nije prestao inasilje nad ženom, posebno silovanje je,suprotno od klasičnog mišljenja, zapravo

     jedan od rudimenata tog vremena, nuspojavaneprevaziđene fobije a ne nekontrolisanestrasti i požude. Monoteizam i patrijarhatiznikli su na tom istom strahu, jer sve onošto se desilo od kraja matrijarhata bilo je

    ciljano usmjereno protiv žene, izopćavalo je ipretvaralo u najranjiviju skupinu društva.

    Mjesečnica je prirodna pojava i samim timeautentična manifestacija sila prirode učovjeku odnosno ženi. Prva menstruacija,koja nagovještava period plodnosti, koddjevojke naziva se menarha i u svom početku

    bosanskog narodnog kalendara. Naime, uperiodu od 14.februara (točno u podne -najviša točka Sunca) do 14.marta, isto dopodneva, traje vladavina Veljače, iznimno

    vremenski nestabilnog perioda zime, kada sepo narodnom tumačenju tuku bura (sjever) i jugo. Odmah iza nje nastupa sedmodnevniperiod koji se zove Baba i koji je isto takohirovit, nepredvidiv i često ekstreman - utoku dana desi se da pada snijeg, puše a ondase pojavi Sunce, itd. Oba naziva, Veljača iBaba, savršeno dobro opisuju sazrijevanježene, hormonalni ciklus, predmenstrualnisindrom, koji završava tako da odmah nakonBabe dolazi sedmodnevni period koji senaziva Did (naši su ga stari zvali Did Grgo),"koji je dobre ćudi jer u njemu počinjesjetva krompira!" Ako se složimo da sukrompiri nalik testisima te da je polaganjesjemena u zemlju čin oplodnje, onda vrlo lakodođemo do zaključka zašto nakon završetkaperioda Dida nastupa period od devet dana, ukojima se, svaka tri dana, smjeni novi naziv

    nemirnih i razigrani bića odnosno djece, kojunaš narod naziva Stablići, Kablići i Štapići. Uskoro svim tradicionalnim pričama našegnaroda navodi se postojanje tri sina koji suglavni akteri svega dešavanja. Isto tako,mislim da nije posebno ni potrebnonaglašavati da devet dana predstavlja devetmjeseci trudnoće. Zanimljivo je i to da se tajcjelokupni ciklus proteže na februar, mart i

    završava početkom aprila kada počinjenezaustavljivo buđenje i bujanje prirode.Narodni kalendar je zapravo kalendarpoljoprivrede i kao takav prati prirodnecikluse koji se manifestiraju kroz starabožanstva bosanskog kulta plodnosti i samimtime je njegov autentični primjer.

    Magijska moć menstruacije

    Kad žena ima menstrualni ciklus, ona kažeovu formulu:

    Mužu moj, došao je penis tvoj da uđe uvaginu moju.Ali zabranjuje crveni kralj moj,crveni je glavić tvoj a crven je kralj moj,a sretan je opet crveni glavić tvoj.Evo dajem ti crvenog kralja mog za srećutvoju!

    Onda muž ugura svoj penis u njenu krvavuvaginu i izvadi ga van, onda se vjerovalo daće ga pratiti sreća kamo god da krene.

    Ako voćke ne rode, onda žena koja osim svogmuža nije imala drugog muškarca, operevaginu dok joj traje menstrualni ciklus, patom vodom zalije voćke i govori:

    Evo došao je cvit, da procvatete za cili svit!Kako ja ne mogla biti brez mog cvita,tako vi ne mogle biti brez ploda!

    Magijska moć posebno se pridavala činudefloracije odnosno krvi koja bi se tadapojavila iz vagine. Kada bi muškarac obaviosnošaj sa djevicom na tvrdoj zemlji, on bi

    rekao formulu:

    Kako god je ova zemlja, na kojoj smo vodililjubav tvrda,tako i meni sreća tvrda bila,niko mi ne mogao nauditi!

    Onda ako mora ići na suđenje, vjeruje se,sudac ga neće moći osuditi tojest odreditimu kaznu.

    uzme šaku zemlje ispod ćuprije, zamota je ukrpu i stavi ispod bračnog ležaja. Zatimtreba da vodi ljubav sa njim a ujutro izvadizemlju ispod kreveta i kroz naredni period

    daje mu po malo te zemlje u jelo ili razmutiu piću.

    Ako se muž priprema na odlazak na važan putonda on vodi ljubav sa suprugom te na krajukaže:

    Kako je tebi, ženo, sladak ovaj snošaj,tako tebe i mene slatka sreća pratila!

    Zatim skine kaput i njime pokrije njenuvaginu govoreći:

    Evo tebi stari kaput a ja idem sa srećom naput!

    Potom ženi tri puta po malo gurne penis uanus.

    Sperma proistekla nakon spolnog čina,posebno ona pomiješana sa vaginalnim sokom,predstavlja seksualni sakrament čija je moću tome da ukoliko se apsorbira na krpu možekasnije poslužiti u pojedinim magijskimritualima.

    Degradacija seksualnosti

    Priroda je sama po sebi najveći oltar kojipostoji na svijetu, što su zasigurno dobroznali naši preci, kao i činjenica da poštujućiprirodne sile mi se vraćamo sami sebi,produhovljujemo se ili resetiramo. Njenazadivljujuća manifestacija ogleda se i učudesnoj simbiozi muškarca i žene, koji kaopar, kroz rituale plodnosti, postižu efekat

    sklada i harmonije s tom energijom, stapajuse u njoj, i na taj način još jače povezuju

    svoja fizička tijela i mentalnu energiju. To je u mnogočemu izazivalo pozitivne reakcije isvakako činilo njihov brak još čvrščim afamiliju složnijom, jer osim čulnog

    zadovoljstva, par se trudio probuditiplodnost u svom životnom okruženju,obezbjediti što bolju žetvu, urod plodova, teistovremeno protjerati sve sile zla koje su uvječnoj borbi protiv života i sila dobra.

    Taj izrazito socijalan kult uništio je u dobrojmjeri monoteizam svojom uskogrudnošću inesklonosti ka bilo kakvoj toleranciji premadrugačijem te nasilnom dekadencijom oveizvanredne religijsko-magijske praksepretvorio ljude u osobe koje od rođenjamoraju potiskivati spolnu energiju u sebe.No, kada pažljivije analiziramo predaju oAdamu i Evi, posebno sa gledišta bogumila,dolazimo do prilično zanimljivih zaključakakoji nam predočavaju jednu sasvim drugačijusliku od one koju fanatični tumači religijevijekovima nameću. Naime, sasvim je očito

    kako je zapravo urođena ljudskaradoznalost otvorila put buđenjuseksualnosti i tako postala sinonimom zaiskonski grijeh te kažnjena protjerivanjemiz Raja, iz mjesta punog obilja i plodova udivlje predjele, gdje su prvi mitološki ljudimorali početi stvarati život i plodnost(hranu). Isto tako, kada sagledamo i druguverziju, onu u koju je uključena zmija, opet

    dolazimo do slične interpretacije po kojoj je zmija, praiskonski simbol plodnosti,probudila u Adamu i Evi spolnost i želju zafertilnosti, kako bi time stekli samosvijest ikontrolu nad svojim životom i, na neki način,postali neovisni spram Boga. Zbog toga jeneshvatljiva ta bespotreba degradacijasasvim prirodne i urođene ljudske potrebeza zdravom seksualnošću, koja se od

    postanka svijeta upotrebljavala za potpunopraktične svrhe, te rezultirala time da mi u

    seksualnu notu, odnosno rituale plodnosti,uobličene u snošaju muškarca i žene uprirodi, obično na njivi, kako bi tim činomblagoslovili zemlju i podstakli je na stalnu

    plodnost. Na sjeveru Europe, u zemljama sabogatom, odnosno njegovanom, paganskomtradicijom ti obredi su se najčešće izvodili uvrijeme proljetnjih praznika. Upravo zatošto je riječ o iznimnoj i moćnoj sili,seksualna energija ima višestruke koristiunutar paganizma. Ona se koristi, izmeđuostalog, kao ponuda za duhovne sile, zaprizivanje božanstava, njome se podižerazina svijesti ili znanja, postiže nadahnuće,omoguća pronicanje u skrivene i mističnepojave, služi za osnaživanje rekvizita,blagoslov, liječenje, etc. Ilustrativno jenavesti jedan segment paganskog obreda,kako bi se bolje razumijela uloga seksualneenergije. U starodrevnim obredima Velikisvećenik na kraju rituala posipa svojomspermom vještice koje nage kleče u kruguoko njega, čime ih on zapravo blagosilja.

    Time na njih prenosi energiju moć bogaPana, odnosno sve ono što on predstavlja, ačime one postaju moćnije, vitalnije i stječuimunitet pred zlom.

    U intimi sa prirodom

    Ovo su neki od primjera obredne magije ukultu plodnosti koji su na našim prostorimabili prisutni dugi niz vijekova. U njima se

    uočava krajnje intiman odnos čovjeka iprirode te slavljenje života kroz stvaranje.Što je plodnost bila naglašenija sukladno satim je rasla i moć pojedinca, ali i njegovasposobnost da pobjedi sve nedaće isvakodnevne probleme. Izražena plodnostpodstiče veliku moć protiv bolesti i nesrećečemu svjedoče neka naša ali i arapskavjerovanja. Naime, u Alžiru i Maroku sevjeruje da ona žena koja rodi blizancestječe baraku – moć liječenja određenebolesti, dok se u našim krajevima tvrdilo dažena koja rodi blizance može otjeratinevrijeme ako okrene golu stražnjicu premaoblacima.

    - Kada se sije kukuruz onda vlasnik imanjadodirne penisom zemlju i kaže: „Ovako biotrouglast moj kukuruz!“. Potom podigne penis

    prema gore, u pravcu neba, i govori: „Ovakostabljike kukuruza bile uspravne, kao mojpenis“. Vjerovalo se da će nakon ovakvogobreda kukuruz dati bogat plod, po nekolikoklipova kukuruza na jednoj stabljici. Ako,pak, želi da mu kukuruz brzo proklija uzemlji onda nakon što obavi snošaj sasuprugom kaže sljedeću formulu:

    Kako god sperma brzo izišla,tako brzo i kukuruz niknuo iz zemlje.

    - Kada se žito sije, onda se prvo u sjemepomiješa i malo živog kreča, a potom mužobavi snošaj sa ženom i svrši u svoju ruku pa

    njome poškropi zrna žita i govori:

    Bože mi pomozi!Žito moje, kako ova sperma iz ruke prskala,tako i ti svježe, lijepo i zdravo iz zemljeproklijalo.Kako su god testisi zdravi, tako moje žitobilo lijepo i zdravo.

    - U proljeće bi muškarac dotaknuo penisomsvako stablo voćki i ponavljao magijskuformulu:

    Kako god je porod u mojoj kući,tako sve voćke rodile.

    - Kad se kupus sadi na njivu dođe muž pagovori formulu:

    Ja kupus sadim i penisom brazde gladim.Koliko u mene dlaka, toliko kupusnih glavabilo!.

    Zatim malo se pomokri po brazdi. Vjerovalose da će nakon toga kupus biti vlažan.

    - Da dunja, šljiva ili jabuka urode plodovimaskupe se trojica odraslih muškaraca sa

    bujnim stidnim dlakama, stanu pred drvo,izvade penise i svaki kaže ovu formulu:

    Čuješ li dunjo, kolika je oko penisa dlaka!Kako god moj penis daleko prskao i bacaomokraću,tako i ti bacala cvijet i plod!

    - Kad je žito puno snijeti, onda gazda ode na

    mladi petak na polje, skine gaće i okreneguzicu ka žitu, pusti vjetar i kaže:

    Žito, ja ne prdim na tebe već na snijet.Kako god vjetar iz mene izišao,tako snijet izišla iz žita.

    Kako god je moja guzica čista,tako i moje žito čisto bilo!

    Kad muškarac ode na njivu sijat žito, skinese na golo, i posije tri sloga žita i onda ćeono biti čisto tojest bez kukolja.

    - Gol i zdrav muškarac noću odlazi na polje iprotrči kroz njega i govori:

    Kako ja zdrav ovuda trčao,tako moje žito bilo zdravo i brzonapredovalo!Kako su god u mojoj glavi dva oka kao dvazrna,u mom žitu sve čisto bilo.

    - Kad žena namjerava saditi luk u vrtu ondanjen muž promješa jednom rukom sjemenke a

    drugom rukom istovremeno drži svojetestise i vrti ih u krug. Nakon toga žena ideu vrt posaditi ga ali tako da svaku sjemenkuzasadi ritmički spuštajući je između nogu urupu u zemlji, odnosno prelazeći njome prekosvoje vagine. Po narodnom vjerovanju onajluk koji „vidi“ vaginu brže i bolje raste odonog koji je nije „vidio“.
