The Bee Fairy
The Bee fairy is the Queen of all bees and, as Romanian legends describe her, she has “a bee’s body, a woman’s face and her ability to talk”. She reigns the wild bees in the depths of forests, lurking in tree hollows. Their sacred honey is food for the Forest Fairies and all the supernatural creatures living in harmony with nature. According to Romanian mythology, the Bee Fairy helped create the world. Legends about it have pre-Christian origins, like many other stories of mythologic beings. It is said that she was the Creator’s counselor, helping him to “better match” the edges of the sky and earth.
Another Christian legend implies that the bee was born from Mother Mary’s teardrop when Jesus Christ suffered and died crucified (this legend has its origins from the similar ancient Egyptian legend of Ra, the Sun God, also having been born from a teardrop).

Drăgaica
Sânzeienele (pronounced ”soon-see-ehn-eh”) is a Romanian solar celebration, dedicated to fire by the lit torches young men ritually rotate in the direction of the sun’s journey in the sky. It takes place on the 24th of Iune and it’s also called Drăgaica, The Day of the Sun, or The Voiceless Cuckoo, because starting with this day until the winter equinox of the next year, this oracular bird will not be heard singing anymore. The Sanziene are fairies, they are flowers, girl-flowers, anthropo-vegetable states of the most beloved mytho-folkloric characters. They are called in some places Drăgaice, derived from the Slavonic word “draga” (meaning beautiful, darling), but in most parts of Romania, they’re named Sânziene. The renowned writer Mircea Eliade thought that their origins are from a Roman cult dedicated to the goddess Diana (Sanctae Dianae), worshiped just the same in Dacia (n.a. ancient pre-Romanian civilization).“ IULIA GORNEANU Drăgaica would walk the earth or float in mid-air in the day of the summer solstice and she would delight herself with songs and dance along with her nuptial procession made of beautiful maiden fairies, over fields and woods. In Romania’s Southern Muntenia region Drăgaica bands are organized that wander around the village and the girl who enacts Drăgaica is dressed as a bride in a shimmering white gown, wearing a crown of Sanziene (Drăgaica) flowers, reminiscing the wedding procession.

The Moon
In old times, long before ours, the Sun was a strong emperor, hid head being of gold and body human-like. He had a beloved sister, the mesmerizing Moon, her head of silver and body also human-like. The mighty Sun couldn’t resist the amazing beauty of her sister and followed his melted heart, he decided to marry his sister, The Moon. God saw everything, as he does today, and decided to do everything he could to stop the wedding from happening. So, He stole the saddened Moon from the wedding ceremony and hid her in the water, so that the Sun would never find her. As the Sun’s investigation approached the place where the Moon was hidden, God placed her graceful being in the sky. Therefore, when the Sun went to sleep, she would appear, her head lighting up the night sky with a softer, sweeter light. She searched around her and found Sun’s teardrops (which were invisible in the powerful light that he shone during the day), small and sparkling, which we today call stars. “When the two met for a moment on the same sky, they said nothing from there on, took a last glance at each other and, saying their goodbyes with tears in their eyes, left to wander the world, to forever look for each other and never meet again.” IULIA GORNEANU

Ielea
Iele: supernatural creatures from Romanian mythology, widespread in superstitions; no one can establish a clear profile for them because of the inconsistencies in folklore, however, their preferred mythological form is that of 9 seductive and “crazy” (in Romanian an attribute for crazy is “lunatic”, a derivate of the word “moon”) virgins whose supernatural powers (malevolent if anybody dares to watch them dance) increase immensely when they dance in circles. Their origins are that of old Dacian priestesses performing mystical rituals.
