Pagan Portals - Where Fairies Meet

Parallels between Irish and Romanian Fairy Traditions

By: Daniela Simina

Traditions surrounding fairies are, essentially, a cross-generational compass that helps young and old to orient themselves into the ever-changing cultural landscape. As such, fairy traditions allow people to position themselves on the time-space continuum, not only through perpetuation of values but also through connecting deeper with the subtler realms that surround and interpenetrate consensus reality. Connecting to subtler realms gives access to a body of knowledge built upon the record of interaction between our world and the Other. In Ireland and Romania, fairy traditions are alive and evolving. The study of the parallelism that exists between bodies of lore, past and present, from areas diametrically opposed on the map of Europe, gives scholars, lay people, and spiritual seekers access to an everlasting repository of wisdom.

A Fairy Path

The Memoir of a Young Fairy Seer in Training

By: Daniela Simina

An autobiographical work offering unique insights into the practice of fairy ritual healers of Romania, A Fairy Path: The Memoir of a Young Fairy Seer in Training follows a very young Daniela, whose rebellious streak and decision to pursue the path of fairy seership clash against societal norms and restrictions imposed by a dictatorial political regime. Filled with fairy occurrences, charms, spells, and ritual work directly experienced by the author, A Fairy Path does more than just tell a story: It provides material that substantiates the reality of fairy phenomena in modern times while offering those who follow a fairy-based spiritual path resources for study and practice.

Ageing, Ritual and Social Change

Comparing the Secular and Religious in Eastern and Western Europe

By: Daniela Koleva

Exploring European changes in religious and secular beliefs and practices related to life passages, this book provides a deeper understanding of the impacts of social change on personal identity and adjustment across the life course, According to latest research, Europeans who consider religious services appropriate to mark life passages significantly outnumber those who declare themselves as believers.

Negotiating Normality

Everyday Lives in Socialist Institutions

By: Daniela Koleva

This book is about state socialism, not as a political system, but as an "ecosystem" of interactions between the state and the citizens it sought to control. It includes case studies that demonstrate how the major ideological principles of socialism translated into motives guiding people's lives. This unique post-revisionist study focuses on people's lives and experiences rather than political systems. The studies are grouped around three common elements—socialist labor, the new socialist man, and the socialist way of life. Using first-hand accounts, the authors find minute deviations from the norms that eventually lead to renegotiation of the norms themselves. Focusing on routines, not extremes, they present socialism in its "normal" state. The volume demonstrates different national strategies for dealing with the past in the post-socialist world. Studies of the socialist past may strive to be objective, but their messages tend to be complex. Rather than arriving at one truth about the nature of socialism, this volume explores the many ways people have survived the system.

The Human Capital: Challenges and Perspectives

A Romanian Analyse

By: Cosmin Stoica,Cristina Balaceanu,Dan Boaja,Daniela Penu,Diana Mihaela Apostol,Doina Maria Tilea,Elena Cofas,Gheorghe Marinescu,Mirela Dogaru,Monica Predonu,Valentina Zaharia

The nowadays society is confronted with some of the most pronounced disparities in the economic system, with direct repercussions on the labor market, borne by both employees and employers. The main deficiencies of the labor market are caused by the low growth rate of the demand for goods, with consequences in terms of employment, the effect of decreasing the purchasing power of the population, the lack of correlation between the growth rates of labor productivity and the price of labor, and also to an insufficient training of a practical nature of the workforce. Labor market is therefore a manifestation of the need to work for both the production act, from the perspective of the firms sector, and the consumer act, from the perspective of the households sector, each of the two sectors having different determinations for the same objective: gaining profit from valuing the work. Therefore, work is analyzed in the terms of profitability: cost for the producer, income for the worker, benefit for the society, in the conditions in which from valuing the work production factor and the human capital it can be created the object of the economic goods market. In the current economic and social-political development context, on the labor market there is an intensification of a series of manifestations that have as substance educational and cultural heterogeneity, the institutional dissolution or the dissolution of authorities in what regards the establishment of some normative elements that would favor work and entrepreneurship, by means of economic strings, mainly fiscal ones, the lack of complementarity between educational policies and occupational ones. Importance of labor market equilibrium resulting from the decisive role of human resources in the economic and social development.
