Author:Noktys Title:Hearth size/teh: oil plywood 50Hx40W cm All copyright reserved by Noktys Art House Author's description: „The symbol of the traditional Romanian house, the hearth is the point of greatest importance around which the whole family is concentrated. This is where the celestial fire bakes bread and cakes, prepares food and offers warmth when the weather is cold. Around it is a magical space, of traditions, of love and steadiness. Mythical union of ground and fire, the hearth has also a spiritual role, so the place where it is settled must be clean, carefully chosen. Around it, stories are told, plans are made and steady inter-human relations are being strengthened. Hearth is the silent witness of all the important moments in human life, from birth to death. No wonder there are a lot of superstitions related to the hearth in the popular beliefs:do not eat from the hearth because you eat your luck, do not borrow fire from the stove in the evening, because the sleep of the people from the house is lost: when the bride enters for the first time in the house of her parents in law she should embrace the fireplace to gain the goodwill of the ancestors’ spirits…and the newborn was hold above the hearth in order not to be bewitched by the evil eye. At the fireplace, too, spells were made to bring the beloved man to the door, to stop the rain, the hail storms and the wind.Incantations were also made to attract wealth and increase family health. In the Romanian folklore there are also many mentions that draw attention to the fact that the place next to the hearth must be kept sacred, because the fire is also a justice maker and punishes the evil deeds. The cat in the man’s house has the role of eliminating the negative energies and the evil spirits, and a beneficial healing influence on the human state of mind.”
