When I was a child, they said:

Be weary of a woman with eyes of moss
If she'll smile your way bewitched you'll fall:
Headaches, malaise. Ptooey! Death!
Yet such spell can be lifted, in good heart,
Aided by matches. And water in a jug.

Only trees watch over the forgotten heroes, Evangelical Cemetery #Sighisoara .
Den toten Gelded.Jedes Heldengrab ist heilige Erde.Alle storben dass uns Friededn werden.
To the dead soldier.Each hero’s grave is holy ground.They died so that we have peace.

Want to build a good home? Best choose a spot favored by birds and small animals, and place the hearth there - says a Romanian folk belief.

Soon, on Midsummer, they'll choose the fairest maiden. She shall don attire of purest white, her day spent in pursuit of blossoms. Especially Galium verum flower, referred to in Romanian lore as 'Sânziână.' For others to find love that year. Not she.
