learn_russianHello Everyone
Hey, I was wondering if anyone is interested in striking up a pen-pal relationship through e-mail? I am panning on returning to Russia in January for about a year and would love to practice through an actual exchange with someone (as opposed to generic exercises).
Also, I am working on a project involving transcription and analysis of various interviews conducted with rural elderly woman. The topic focuses on folklore and purported real life experiences. For example, women discussing experiences with witches. I am currently working on a story involving сглаз. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find information on this topic. While I prefer scholarly articles popular opinion is still of great interest to me. I am particularly interested in information about causes, reasons for casting сглаз, whether this is considered a voluntary or involuntary act etc. Also, I am interested to know the relationship between сглаз and порча. If anyone knows of a direction for me to pursue, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I think I have enough pen pals now. Thank you everyone for your responses, I will reply soon.

Date: 2007-11-26 07:58 am (UTC)These two things are almost the same,
but "сглаз" happens due to such things as envy or jealous, i.e. "сглаз" happens rather unintentionally.
"порча" is certainly deliberate harm, and as a rule more significant harm, when somebody use any magic and witchcraft.
