Pâinea, grâul şi râşnitul sacru în neolitic

  • Subiect: A series of customs which are linked to an overtime way of thinking determines us to use such a perspective on a series of phrases, myths transmitted in different ways, by word of mouth or symbols (mythograms), as well as a series of customs, rites and rituals that have kept part of the ancient way of thinking elements. The theme of the agrarian rites is extremely vast, so that we should emphasize only a series of ideas extracted from the archaeological examples as they resulted during our researches. The Neolithic age was to abstract some ideas and turn them in signs on objects of cult at the beginning, on ceramics afterwards. On the basis of our archaeological examples linked to the open mysteries, to the sacred mysteries we try to illustrate the theme of the seed and plants sacrifice, and their offering to gods. Therefore we may take the sacred grinding for a passing ritual from life (the germinating seed) to death, as the seed becomes nourishment and passes into the human body. The grinder, as the object with which the man performs an action and cuts the life of the plant is in its turn covered with a cultic significance and taken for an object of cult. The "bread-patterns" discovered at Ohaba Mâtnic, Vinca, Vrsac, the seeds in little cultic houses discovered at Turdaş, Vinca, Szents-Illonopart, Batonja are pertinent examples for the existence of an agrarian former rite bound to the cult of fertility but also of recalling the goodness of gods. According to their large measures, but especially to their inscriptions (sacred writing or symbols- M, V, W) the cultic vessels represent a whole mythology generated by the myth of rebirth, re-embodying, and of many agrarian cults.
