Sa i hodha nje sy listes kemi njerez ne liste qe jane edhe nga Maqedonia
Por cfare me ra ne sy dikush kishte perdorur drenushe nje me sorkadhe qe ne fakt nuk jane nje edh e njejat gje.
Per mua drenusha eshte nje kafshe qe egziston ne zona malor ndaj edhe e hasim edh ne mitologji shqiptare. Pra duhet te kemi parasysh qe nje pjese mire e mitologjise qe mund te zberthehet sot per sot eshte malore ose po deshet edhe alpine

ketu poshte R Elsie ka dhene nje deshmi te Pjeter bogdanit se si Pashtriku ishte nje mal i shenjet me ritual qe festohej nga ortodokse katolik dhe myslimane. me falni nuk mund at a kopjoj dot vetem pasazhin prandaj futa faqenhref="http://www.elsie.de/pdf/articles/A2003ChristianSaintsAlb.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.elsie.de/pdf/articles/A2003ChristianSaintsAlb
Kukėsit, nė malin e Shėn Lleshit pranė Krujės, nė malin e Kundrevicės tė Kurveleshit, nė malin
Pashtrik nė kufirin mes Shqipėrisė dhe Kosovės. Pjetėr Bogdani (rreth 1630-1689) e pėrshkruan
festimin nė malin e fundit nė 1681 si vijon:
E kalojnė aty gjithė natėn, me daulle, bilbila, duke kėrcyer e kėnduar. Pas mesnate fillojnė njė
procesion tė pėrzier muslimanėt, serbėt dhe grekėt me qirinj tė ndezur dylli, me gjatėsi tė ndryshme
sipas moshės sė personit qė i mban nė dorė. I sillen rrotull majės sė malit mė tė lartė pėr tre orė me
kėmbėt zbathur (disa nga muslimanėt qė prijnė janė kalėruar.)
Nė fshatin e Bibajt tė Rekės sė Epėrme (Maqedoni), shqiptarėt orotodoksė festonin nė 4 dhjetor
Shėn Mėrinė e Dimrit. Edhe shqiptarėt ortodoksė tė Shqipėrisė e shėnojnė kėtė festė, e njohur edhe me
emrin Festa e Paraqitjes sė Shėn Mėrisė nė Tempull, duke e festuar mė 21 nėntor sipas kalendarit latin.
Sipas traditės, gjatė kėsaj feste ndizeshin qirinj dhe piqej bukė e cila, pasi bekohej nga prifti, hahej. Po
nė Rekėn e Epėrme, nė fshatin e Sencės kryhej festa e Shėn Mėrisė sė Vogėl, (rumanisht Sfnta Maria
Mic , vllahēe St mrie Nic) e cila pėrkujton lindjen e Shėn Mėrisė mė 21 shtator sipas kalendarit
bizantin dhe tani mė pėrgjithėsisht mė 8 shtator sipas kalendarit latin. Kjo ditė njihet edhe si Dita e
Bletėve, meqė pėrkon me periudhėn e vitit kur kryhet shitblerja e bletėve.
Shėn Mėria pėrnderohej nė veēanti brenda kishės katolike tė Shqipėrisė si Zoja e Shkodrės (La
Madonna di Scutari) ose Zoja e Bekueme, e njohur edhe si Zoja e Kshillit tė Mirė (La Madonna del
Buon Consiglio). Festa e Zojės sė Shkodrės shėnohej nga tė gjithė fiset katolike tė veriut. Kėshilli i
katėrt i peshkopėve shqiptarė, i mbajtur nė vitin 1895, e shpalli Zojėn e Shkodrės Pajtore tė
Shqipėrisė. Zoja e Shkodrės ka edhe njė legjendė tė vetėn:
Zoja (Madonna) gjendej nė fillim nė njė kishė tė vogėl tė Shkodrės sė vjetėr nė kėmbė tė malit tė
Rozafės, ku katolikėt e Shkodrės e pėrnderonin portretin e saj nė njė pikturė me bojė vaji. Nė 1467, kur
trupat osmane e mbanin Shkodrėn nė rrethim dhe kėrcėnonin tė ēshenjtėronin kishėn, piktura u shkėput
pėr mrekullit nga muri, u largua nga ndėrtesa dhe mori fluturimin drejt perėndimit mbi detin Adriatik
pėr nė Itali. E ndoqėn dy shtegtarė shqiptarė, Gjorgji dhe De Sclavisi. Portreti nė pikturė i Zojės erdhi
e u preh nė qytetin e Genazzano-s pranė Romės, ku u ngrit njė kishė nė nder tė saj, Kisha e Zojės sė
Kshillit tė Mirė (La Chiesa della Madonna del Buon Consiglio)
Qė prej asaj kohe, vendi i shenjtė i Genazzano-s ka qenė pikė shtegtimi pėr katolikėt shqiptarė.
Rreth vitit 1700, pėrnderimi i Zojės sė Genazzano-s u pėrhap edhe mes arbėreshve tė Kalabrisė, nė
veēanti nė San Benedetto Ullano, falė klerikut Stefano Rodotą. Kisha e tanishme e Genazzano-s u
ndėrtua nė fillim tė shekullit XX dhe shtegtarėt e vizitojnė duke ecur zbathur, sidomos gjatė ditės
pėrkujtimore tė Zojės sė Kshillit tė Mirė qė ėshtė 26 prilli.
Edhe Kisha e Zojės nė Shkodėr ka qenė gjithmonė shumė e pėrnderuar nga katolikėt shqiptarė
tė veriut. Nė prill 1946, njė vit pas marrjes sė pushtetit nga komunistėt, mbi dymijė vetė morėn pjesė nė

ALBANIAN MYTHOLOGY
by
Jonathan Michael
Civilizations the world over have developed and perpetuated myths as a
means of explaining natural phenomena and the mysteries of life and
death itself. Though widely unknown, Albanian Mythology holds an
intriguing blend of tales and legends, most dating back to the pagan
beliefs of Ancient Illyria. Others have incorporated more dately blends
of fictional beings addressing the many complexities of morality, good,
and evil. At the beginning reside the Illyrian divinities of nature,
constructed by our ancestors as a means of comprehending the world
which surrounded them.
Many pan-cultural influences can be noted in some Albanian mythological
characters. The lubi, --a monster holding the head of a lion, body of a
goat, and tail of a serpent-- is to the Greeks a chimera, while the
ghostly kukuth holds similar powers to the Slavic vila. Even a
variation of the very English Tom Thumb can be noted as resting akin to
the Albanian tale of Kacilmic. Such similarities also exist between
Illyrian Gods and Goddesses with those of other cultures. The Illyrian
Goddess Diana, accompanied by a female goat, was directly adopted by
the Romans and holds a host of qualities to the Greeks Artemus. Other
divinities remained highly local. Enji, the God of fire, Surd, the God
of weather, and Bindus that of water, were all creations of Illyrian
reverence to the awesome powers of nature. Goddesses such as Medauras
and Prema were held as the supreme beings to heal ailments and spawn
fertility. Strangely, unlike the mythology of others, the Albanian
strain developed without the cosmogenic view of how the world was
created, nor the eschatological prophecies of how the world would end,
and remained firmly terrestrial and centered on those things that could
be touched or felt firsthand. The advent of Christian and Islamic lore
brought belief in such deities to the end of their epoch in Albania and
elsewhere. Myths such as Persius saving Andromeda from the Hydra for
the most part were replaced by related religious ventures such as Saint
George saving the princess of Sylene from being sacrificed to the
dragon. If not for the work of such astronomers as Ptolemy Llagos of
Illyria, who placed such stories literally into the heavens through the
naming of constellations, such mythology would be even less recalled
today.
Supplementing the acts of the Gods and Goddesses rests the mythology of
the common man and the worlds evil they must face. Albanian Mythology
is filled with a variety of monsters, ranging from mighty giants called
Baloz, to tiny gnomes called Thopc who take delight in teasing people
by turning them into animals. In such tales live witches known as
shtrigas which cast spells and the Syni I keq. Female nymphs known as
oras, whose glance can turn a man into stone, vampire-like lugats which
live off human blood, and karkanxhols-- half-man, half-wolf , which
hunt shepherds under the full moon-- are among the mythological
personifications of evil in which folklore and superstition abound.
Indeed, though made famous by the Germanic minority of Wallachia who
were subjugated to the horrors of ruler Vlad Dracul, then later by the
author Bram Stoker, it was Lord Byron who first related tales to
Western Europeans of vampires. These tales were inspired by the
folklore and tales he encountered while visiting Southern Albania.
To such vestiges of horror as lugats came the need for heroes with
ingenious methods to combat them. Such heroes might themselves take the
form of mere mortals, or those figures of mythology which were adhered
to as good. Zanas, female mountain spirits which dwell near streams,
have often been called upon to protect Albanian warriors. The deadly
acts of kulshedras, a fire-breathing serpent with seven heads that
pollutes the water, air, and soil, have for time immemorial been slain
by drangues; human-like warriors with wings under their arms. When
lacking such mythical interventions, Albanians have taken it upon
themselves to combat evil with assorted amulets, herbs, magical stones,
rings, and through such practices as shooting at the moon to ward off
wolves. It is still the belief that to spit in a fire is taboo, and
that one will be petrified if he breaks an oath made on a pledge stone.
Aspects of more modern and tangible calls for courage are highly
represented in more recent forms of Albanian folklore, whereby the acts
and deeds of real individuals become legendary, and take on almost
mythical proportions. Typical in Southern Albania are the heroics of
noble sons, burri I dheut, who took to battle against the overwhelming
might of the Turk, as well as faithful women, bukura e dheut, who chose
to jump to their death off of cliffs, their babies in arm, rather than
be taken or even touched by the invader. The tales of Northern Albania
generally focus on the common mans battle with their Slavic neighbors.
Songs and tales surround such characters as Muj, a shepherd who gains
great powers by capturing three goats with golden horns, and in turn
defeats the Slavs in battle. Upon his death, the enemy challenges him
in his grave, from where he calls on his brother Halil to defeat them
and return him to life. Other figures of mountain lore such as Oso
Kuka, Marash Uci, and the brave maiden Tringa have been immortalized in
the works of such writers as Gjergj Fishta, and represent battles for
freedom and survival which are unfortunately still very prominent in
the lives of the Albanian people to this day.

Re: Mitologjia shqiptare
Mythology no matter where it is from has an fascination point of history. A part of the mythology might be a fiction but in the same time it has a beginning from the real history. Lived on through the years by people who has been telling them.
The mythology build many of our cultures, country's, people and much much more. It must have been a fascinating time in hte same time as some of the mythology's is kind of scarey. But most of the mythology has formed our ground we are standing on today.
It would be great to hear more about the Albanian mythology's.

Re: Mitologjia shqiptare
Das albanische Epos ist ein wenig bekannter und erforschter Liederzyklus der bis in unseren Tagen herauf noch zu treffen ist. Es behandelt hauptsächlich die Schicksalen des Brüderpaares Muji und Halili, ihren Abenteuerfahrten, von Frauenraub und Kämpfen um die eroberten Bräte und von den Kriegen der 30 albanischen Agas(Mitkämpfer)die prinzipiell gegen die südslawischen Einwanderer und vielleicht in manchen Elementen noch tiefer . Diese "legendäre Epik" reicht in ihren Anfängen bis zur Dämmerung der historischen Zeiten zurück in die sagenhafte Welt des Heidentums.
Dieses Epos ist gewissermaßen eine biographische Parabel des albanischen Volkes und jenes politischen Bewußtseins, das auch heute wieder die Beziehungen zwischen Albanern und Südslawen bestimmt,und weiterhin noch älteren Verhaeltnissen So gesehen kann dieses Volkserzählgut einen Beitrag zum Verständnis der gegenwärtigen Situation leisten.
Das albanische Epos ist charakterisiert durch das Ineinandergreifen von sagenhaften und historischen Stoffen.
So spielen immer wieder die Beziehungen zwischen Göttern, Halbgöttern und Menschen, vor einem historischen Hintergrund, eine wesentliche Rolle. Das Epos, als eine der ältesten Gattungen von Volkserzählungen, ist ein Liederzyklus in Versform, wobei der Sänger, durch Reim, Melodie und Versmaß begrenzt, den Hauptstrang der Erzählung tradiert.

Shkruan: Mark KRASNIQI
Tė bardhat janė njė lloj shtojzovallesh, vajza tė bukura, pra, diēka si zanat. E Bukura e Dheut, edhe kjo ėshtė njėfarė zane. Kjo figurė mitologjike ėshtė e njohur jo vetėm nė Ballkan, por edhe nė botėn arabe, nga duhet tė ketė ardhur ndėr ne. Dragoi, kuēedra, syri i keq, lugati, shtriga, etj.
Pėr tė dhėnė njė pasqyrė mė tė gjerė, mė tė plotė tė mitologjisė sė njė populli, nevojitet kohė mė e gjatė dhe punė sistematike hulumtuese nė terren nė vise tė ndryshme, pėrveē studimit tė literaturės ekzistuese pėr kėtė temė shumė tė gjerė dhe shumė tė lashtė. Ndėr ne, mjerisht, nuk ekziston ende tė paktėn njė sprovė konkrete, pėr tė pėrmbledhur nė njė botim botėn mitologjike shqiptare, e cila ėshtė shumė e pasur dhe, nė disa vise, e ruajtur dhe e gjallė deri mė sot. Por, megjithatė, materiale tė mbledhura, vėshtrime dhe studime fragmentare kemi, qoftė nga autorė tė huaj, qoftė nga njerėzit tanė tė aftė pėr kėtė punė. Tė dhėna dhe analiza mė tė plota gjenden nė veprat e albanologėve tė njohur, siē ka qenė, p.sh., Hani, Nopēa, Durham, Lamberci, dhe shumė tė tjerė. Autorė shqiptarė dhe mbledhės tė materialeve tė mitologjisė sonė popullore ka shumė, tė cilėt nė revista tė ndryshme (p.sh., "Leka", "Hylli i Dritės", "Drita" etj...), ose nė botime tė tjera kanė dhėnė kontribut tė vlefshėm pėr njohjen dhe ruajtjen e kėsaj pjese tė rėndėsishme tė kulturės shpirtėrore tė popullit tonė. Punėn mė tė madhe pėr kėtė e kanė bėrė etnografėt tanė pas Luftės sė Dytė Botėrore, qoftė me kontributet e tyre tė vlefshme shkencore tė botuara nė revistėn "Etnografia shqiptare", "Kultura Popullore", e materialeve nė Institutin e Kulturės Popullore. Gjithsesi, shtrohet nevoja e botimit tė njė vepre mė tė gjerė, nė tė cilėn do tė paraqitej, tė paktėn nė vija kryesore, mitologjia e popullit shqiptar, e cila, nė kushte tė reja ekonomike, kulturore dhe pėrgjithėsisht shoqėrore, ka humbur fare rolin e dikurshėm tė saj dhe sė shpejti mund tė qitet nė harresė pėrgjithmonė. Kėshtu do tė varfėrohej historia e kulturės sė popullit tonė. Nga shumė punime tė autorėve tanė e tė huaj, kėtu po pėrmendim vetėm dijetarin tonė tė shquar prof. Eqrem Ēabejn (1908-1980), i cili qysh nė vitin 1939, ka dhėnė njė pasqyrė tė shkurtėr, por tė qartė, tė mitologjisė sonė popullore, botuar frėngjisht nė revistėn "Revue international des etudes balcaniques", nga e cila po paraqesim vetėm disa tė dhėna dhe mendime tė tij, tė cilat ai i ka zgjeruar dhe shqyrtuar mė vonė edhe nė botime tė tjera tė ndryshme.
Nė besimet popullore, thotė Ēabej, ruhen shumė figura tė moēme, tė cilat nė mitologjinė tonė paraqiten me emėr tė ri dhe me disa ndryshime kuptimore. Nė mitologjinė tonė shpesh pėrmenden "hijet", si figura mjaft tė papėrcaktuara, por gjithsesi me kuptimin e njė demoni, tė njė fantazme. Nė Kosovė me fjalėn "hije", nė kuptimin mitologjik, mund tė pėrfshihen demonė tė ndryshėm, por para sė gjithash - bota "andej varrit", tė vdekurit, zakonisht shpirtra tė ligj. Balozi i detit pėrmendet nė folklorin tonė mjaft shpesh. Nė Kosovė ka kuptimin e njė pėrbindshi. Tė bardhat janė njė lloj shtojzovallesh, vajza tė bukura, pra, diēka si zanat. E Bukura e Dheut, edhe kjo ėshtė njėfarė zane. Kjo figurė mitologjike ėshtė e njohur jo vetėm nė Ballkan, por edhe nė botėn arabe, nga duhet tė ketė ardhur ndėr ne. Dragoi, kuēedra, syri i keq, lugati, shtriga, etj., personazhe kėto mitologjike, tė njohura ndėr shumė popuj. Kėtu po pėrmendim vetėm disa qenie tė tjera tė kėsaj sfere si i paraqet Ēabej, tė cilat nė Kosovė njihen pak ose aspak, tė paktėn me emrin pėrkatės. Kėshtu, p.sh., nė Kosovė nuk dėgjohet pėr Erretat e Sheut, tė cilat Ēabej i pėrmend sipas tė dhėnave tė albanologut gjerman Lamberc. Gjithashtu Dhamsuta ėshtė ndėr ne e panjohur. Kėshtu u quajka nė viset tona veriore "njė pelė pėrrallore, me nė shpinė kalorėsin tė quajtur Dhevėshtruesi". Tek arbėreshėt e Italisė ekziston Fata, e cila duhet t'i pėrgjigjet zanės ndėr ne. Nė gojėdhėnat e zonės sė Pėrmetit pėrmenden Floēkat, vasha tė bukura me flokė tė gjata, qė mendohej se rrinin nė ujėra e nė puse. Edhe Kshetrrat ose Kshetzat, ishin tė ngjashme me Floēkat. Hyjrija e Detit ėshtė njė lloj sirene, pastaj Xhullitė e Judi, janė figura tė njohura nė zonat tona tė veriut, por edhe ndėr bullgarė e rumunė. Karakonxholli ėshtė figurė mitologjike ndėr ne, e ardhur nga mitologjia turke. Nė Kosovė njihet me emrin "Kallakonxhė", e cila udhėtarin e huton, ia mjegullon mendjen dhe nuk di tė orientohet nė hapėsirė. Gogu, Sanagogu ose Herri ėshtė njėlloj xhuxhmaxhuxhi, shkurtabiqi ose kokėrrmeli. Figura mitologjike mė pak tė njohura janė gjithashtu Mėmėdreqja, lloj pėrbindshi nė bestytnitė e hershme ndėr shqiptarėt (arbėreshėt) e sicilisė nė Itali, kurse nė besimet e tyre nė Kalabri Manaqeli ka qenė njėlloj hijeje. Nuset e Malit dhe Orėt e Malit kanė qenė lloj zanash, emri i tė cilave rrallėherė zihej nė gojė. Emri i tyre ishte tabu (i ndaluar), prandaj zėvendėsohej me emėrime, si p.sh., "Qofshin tė bardha", "Ato tė lumturat", "Ato tė mirat" etj., siē thuhet nė Kosovė. Nė viset e veriut Shurdhi ka qenė demon i rėndėsishėm. Nė mitologjinė e trakėve tė vjetėr ky ishte hyjni e motit tė keq. Figurė e ngjashme me Shurdhin, nė veri ka qenė Verbti. Gjarpri i shtėpisė nė disa vise quhet Vitore. Nė mitologjinė e shqiptarėve tė Ēamėrisė Vitoret ishin tri Fatitė qė mendohej se i vinin foshnjės te djepi natėn e tretė tė lindjes dhe ia caktonin fatin qė do tė kishte nė jetė. Emri i vitores nė thelb ėshtė vejtore, "ajo qė end pėlhurė, endėse, emėr qė del edhe me trajtėn vektore", - pra, ato ishin endėse tė pėlhurės sė jetės. Zana - nė mitologji ėshtė simbol i njė vashe me bukuri tė pashoqe. Ky emėr rrjedh prej hyjnisė romake Diana - hyjnia e pyjeve dhe e gjuetisė.
Huazimi i figurave mitologjike nė popujt e Ballkanit dhe mė gjerė ka qenė i ndėrsjelltė, duke bėrė edhe pėrshtatje tė ndryshme nė emėr, e disa raste edhe nė kuptim. Kjo dukuri ėshtė qė nga koha antike. Kėshtu, p.sh., Zeusi, hyjnia kryesore helene (greke), ndėr shqiptarėt gjithashtu merrej si hyjni, ndoshta me mė pak rėndėsi se siē e kishte nė Greqinė antike, dhe me emėr tė vendit Zojz. Edhe hyjnesha romake Diana ka qenė e njohur nė mitologjisė ilire dhe trakase, ndoshta mė me pak autoritet se te romakėt, por prapė me kurorė hyjnie. Mitologjia jonė ėshtė tepėr e ngarkuar me figura e besime tė ndryshme. Pėrkundrazi, ilirėt - tė parėt e shqiptarėve, duket se kanė qenė mė realė ose tė paktėn mė racionalė nė kėtė pikėpamje. Ata besonin nė fenomenet e natyrės. Pėr ta zot ka qenė, para sė gjithash, dielli, pastaj hėna, ujėt, rrufeja, bubullima, shiu, zjarri etj. Pra, ilirėt besonin nė trupat qiellorė dhe nė fuqitė natyrore, tė cilat ndikonin pėr tė mirė ose pėr tė keq mbi jetėn e veprimet e tyre tė pėrditshme. Mitologjia e tė parėve tanė tė lashtė, pra, nuk ka qenė e ngarkuar me shtriga, lugetėr, magji, etj., tė cilat u shfaqėn ndėr ne shumė mė vonė.
Profesor Ēabej ka botuar nė revistėn "Yllyria" njė studim tjetėr mbi zakonet dhe doket e shqiptarėve, ku, pėrveē tė tjerash, shpjegon edhe disa tė dhėna mitologjike, sidomos prejardhjen e figurave dhe dukurive tė ndryshme tė saj. Mė vonė (mė 1942) ka botuar njė studim tė posaēėm me titull "Diana dhe Zana", dhe mė 1972 artikullin "Disa figura tė besimeve popullore shqiptare". Ai, ndėr tė tjera, thoshte se qysh te Gjon Buzuku (shekulli XVI) pėrmenden nė "Mesharin" e tij "gjigantėt" - fantazma me shtat tė gjatė e natyrė luftarake. Ai gjithashtu pėrmend fjalėn "hije" me kuptimin e njė fantazme tjetėr. Edhe nė veprat e Pjetėr Budit (1566-1622) ka elemente tė besimeve tona popullore. Nė veprėn e Pjetėr Bogdanit "Cuneus prophetarum" mė 1685, shfaqen zanat si figura mitologjike. Nga fjala "gjigant", tė cilėn e pėrmend Buzuku, vjen fjala "vigan" qė ėshtė sot e pėrhapur nė gjuhėn tonė, me kuptim tė njeriut me shtat tė rritur, tė lartė, tė zhvilluar.
Nė Mirėditė, shkruan Ēabej, ekziston njė figurė mitologjike me emrin kuptimor "Dheveshtruesi", i cili "nė net pranvere vė veshin tek dheu, pėr tė dėgjuar a vjen njeri pėr sė largu dhe a gjėmon ujėt e nėndheshėm. Ai gjithmonė shkon kaluar nė vithe tė "Dhamsutės", njė pelė e pagojė qė kalon nėpėr male e dete dhe shpie larg e larg atė qė do tė shpėtojė me anė tė saj". Nė Dukat tė Vlorės, nė malėsitė e Labėrisė, besohej nė njė lloj zane shtatgjatė, tė cilėn e quanin Suta "drenusha" dhe pėrfytyrohej nė trajtėn e njė lope.
Ndėr shqiptarėt e jugut, nė Toskėri, mali i Tomorrit (2418 m) ka kuptim mitologjik dhe mbahej mal i shenjtė. Nė majė tė tij jetojnė gjallesa mitologjike, njė zog i shenjtė, hyjni tė ndryshme. Njerėzit bėnin be mbi kėtė mal si nė njė gjė mė tė shenjtė e mė tė shtrenjtė "pėr Baba Tomorrin", "pėr tė mirin Tomorr". shumėkush, nga frika e respekti, as emrin nuk ia pėrmend, por thonė "ai" dhe bėjnė be "pėr atė ēukė".
Figura, personazhe mitologjike ndėr ne ka shumė, siē shihet edhe nga kjo qė u tha mė sipėr, por besimet dhe ritet magjike nė kuadėr tė mitologjisė, gati qė as nuk mund tė numėrohen, sepse ēdo krahinė, ēdo zonė, bashkėsi etnike, fisnore, fshatare, familjare, etj., mund tė kenė disa veēori, disa besime e bestytni, disa "bidate" ose zakone, tė cilat nuk i ka tjetėrkush. Madje, edhe njeriu si individ mund ta ketė botėn e tij vetjake nga sfera e magjisė dhe e mitologjisė nė pėrgjithėsi. "Tim pėr shpi, adet pėr njeri", thotė populli. Mitologjia ėshtė pus pa fund, tė cilit nuk i shteret kurrė ujėt. Prandaj, si u tha mė parė, edhe me kėtė rast mund tė japim vetėm fragmente nga kjo fushė e gjerė e kulurės shumė tė lashtė, mė tė lashtė se ēdo religjion dhe ēdo normė tjetėr morale tė kodifikuar, nė ēfarėdo mėnyre, qoftė nga ēfarėdo bashkėsie tė shkallės primitive ose tė pėrparuar kudo nė botė.
Zakonet e ndryshme me ceremonial tė caktuar, veprimet magjike, nė shumicėn e rasteve lidhen me stinė tė motit, me festa, me ditė tė shėnuara, me pjesėn e caktuar tė ditės, pastaj me vend ose me objekt tė caktuar. Disa "adete" bėhen nė pranverė, disa tė tjera nė vjeshtė, disa ditėn e ndonjė feste, tė tjerat ditėn e martė, tė premte, etj., kurse disa paradite ose nė mbrėmje, sepse "ashtu duhet", disa zakone lidhen me njė kodėr, me njė lis, me varre, me vende tė shenjta ose tė nderuara, dhe kėshtu me radhė. Disa lidhen me fillimin ose me mbarimin e shumė punėve.
Tė bardhat janė njė lloj shtojzovallesh, vajza tė bukura, pra, diēka si zanat. E Bukura e Dheut, edhe kjo ėshtė njėfarė zane. Kjo figurė mitologjike ėshtė e njohur jo vetėm nė Ballkan, por edhe nė botėn arabe, nga duhet tė ketė ardhur ndėr ne. Dragoi, kuēedra, syri i keq, lugati, shtriga, etj.
Pėr tė dhėnė njė pasqyrė mė tė gjerė, mė tė plotė tė mitologjisė sė njė populli, nevojitet kohė mė e gjatė dhe punė sistematike hulumtuese nė terren nė vise tė ndryshme, pėrveē studimit tė literaturės ekzistuese pėr kėtė temė shumė tė gjerė dhe shumė tė lashtė. Ndėr ne, mjerisht, nuk ekziston ende tė paktėn njė sprovė konkrete, pėr tė pėrmbledhur nė njė botim botėn mitologjike shqiptare, e cila ėshtė shumė e pasur dhe, nė disa vise, e ruajtur dhe e gjallė deri mė sot. Por, megjithatė, materiale tė mbledhura, vėshtrime dhe studime fragmentare kemi, qoftė nga autorė tė huaj, qoftė nga njerėzit tanė tė aftė pėr kėtė punė. Tė dhėna dhe analiza mė tė plota gjenden nė veprat e albanologėve tė njohur, siē ka qenė, p.sh., Hani, Nopēa, Durham, Lamberci, dhe shumė tė tjerė. Autorė shqiptarė dhe mbledhės tė materialeve tė mitologjisė sonė popullore ka shumė, tė cilėt nė revista tė ndryshme (p.sh., "Leka", "Hylli i Dritės", "Drita" etj...), ose nė botime tė tjera kanė dhėnė kontribut tė vlefshėm pėr njohjen dhe ruajtjen e kėsaj pjese tė rėndėsishme tė kulturės shpirtėrore tė popullit tonė. Punėn mė tė madhe pėr kėtė e kanė bėrė etnografėt tanė pas Luftės sė Dytė Botėrore, qoftė me kontributet e tyre tė vlefshme shkencore tė botuara nė revistėn "Etnografia shqiptare", "Kultura Popullore", e materialeve nė Institutin e Kulturės Popullore. Gjithsesi, shtrohet nevoja e botimit tė njė vepre mė tė gjerė, nė tė cilėn do tė paraqitej, tė paktėn nė vija kryesore, mitologjia e popullit shqiptar, e cila, nė kushte tė reja ekonomike, kulturore dhe pėrgjithėsisht shoqėrore, ka humbur fare rolin e dikurshėm tė saj dhe sė shpejti mund tė qitet nė harresė pėrgjithmonė. Kėshtu do tė varfėrohej historia e kulturės sė popullit tonė. Nga shumė punime tė autorėve tanė e tė huaj, kėtu po pėrmendim vetėm dijetarin tonė tė shquar prof. Eqrem Ēabejn (1908-1980), i cili qysh nė vitin 1939, ka dhėnė njė pasqyrė tė shkurtėr, por tė qartė, tė mitologjisė sonė popullore, botuar frėngjisht nė revistėn "Revue international des etudes balcaniques", nga e cila po paraqesim vetėm disa tė dhėna dhe mendime tė tij, tė cilat ai i ka zgjeruar dhe shqyrtuar mė vonė edhe nė botime tė tjera tė ndryshme.
Nė besimet popullore, thotė Ēabej, ruhen shumė figura tė moēme, tė cilat nė mitologjinė tonė paraqiten me emėr tė ri dhe me disa ndryshime kuptimore. Nė mitologjinė tonė shpesh pėrmenden "hijet", si figura mjaft tė papėrcaktuara, por gjithsesi me kuptimin e njė demoni, tė njė fantazme. Nė Kosovė me fjalėn "hije", nė kuptimin mitologjik, mund tė pėrfshihen demonė tė ndryshėm, por para sė gjithash - bota "andej varrit", tė vdekurit, zakonisht shpirtra tė ligj. Balozi i detit pėrmendet nė folklorin tonė mjaft shpesh. Nė Kosovė ka kuptimin e njė pėrbindshi. Tė bardhat janė njė lloj shtojzovallesh, vajza tė bukura, pra, diēka si zanat. E Bukura e Dheut, edhe kjo ėshtė njėfarė zane. Kjo figurė mitologjike ėshtė e njohur jo vetėm nė Ballkan, por edhe nė botėn arabe, nga duhet tė ketė ardhur ndėr ne. Dragoi, kuēedra, syri i keq, lugati, shtriga, etj., personazhe kėto mitologjike, tė njohura ndėr shumė popuj. Kėtu po pėrmendim vetėm disa qenie tė tjera tė kėsaj sfere si i paraqet Ēabej, tė cilat nė Kosovė njihen pak ose aspak, tė paktėn me emrin pėrkatės. Kėshtu, p.sh., nė Kosovė nuk dėgjohet pėr Erretat e Sheut, tė cilat Ēabej i pėrmend sipas tė dhėnave tė albanologut gjerman Lamberc. Gjithashtu Dhamsuta ėshtė ndėr ne e panjohur. Kėshtu u quajka nė viset tona veriore "njė pelė pėrrallore, me nė shpinė kalorėsin tė quajtur Dhevėshtruesi". Tek arbėreshėt e Italisė ekziston Fata, e cila duhet t'i pėrgjigjet zanės ndėr ne. Nė gojėdhėnat e zonės sė Pėrmetit pėrmenden Floēkat, vasha tė bukura me flokė tė gjata, qė mendohej se rrinin nė ujėra e nė puse. Edhe Kshetrrat ose Kshetzat, ishin tė ngjashme me Floēkat. Hyjrija e Detit ėshtė njė lloj sirene, pastaj Xhullitė e Judi, janė figura tė njohura nė zonat tona tė veriut, por edhe ndėr bullgarė e rumunė. Karakonxholli ėshtė figurė mitologjike ndėr ne, e ardhur nga mitologjia turke. Nė Kosovė njihet me emrin "Kallakonxhė", e cila udhėtarin e huton, ia mjegullon mendjen dhe nuk di tė orientohet nė hapėsirė. Gogu, Sanagogu ose Herri ėshtė njėlloj xhuxhmaxhuxhi, shkurtabiqi ose kokėrrmeli. Figura mitologjike mė pak tė njohura janė gjithashtu Mėmėdreqja, lloj pėrbindshi nė bestytnitė e hershme ndėr shqiptarėt (arbėreshėt) e sicilisė nė Itali, kurse nė besimet e tyre nė Kalabri Manaqeli ka qenė njėlloj hijeje. Nuset e Malit dhe Orėt e Malit kanė qenė lloj zanash, emri i tė cilave rrallėherė zihej nė gojė. Emri i tyre ishte tabu (i ndaluar), prandaj zėvendėsohej me emėrime, si p.sh., "Qofshin tė bardha", "Ato tė lumturat", "Ato tė mirat" etj., siē thuhet nė Kosovė. Nė viset e veriut Shurdhi ka qenė demon i rėndėsishėm. Nė mitologjinė e trakėve tė vjetėr ky ishte hyjni e motit tė keq. Figurė e ngjashme me Shurdhin, nė veri ka qenė Verbti.

Etnokultura eshte shpirti e mendja e popullit, eshte menyra e jeteses se tij, e krijuar e zhvilluar ne shekuj prej tij.Ajo shpreh vetorganizimin, kompkatesine, sigurimin e ekulibrit social nder e shekuj e ne gjenrata te ndryshme.kjo etnokulture na zbulon te kaluaren dhe pa e mesuar, pa e kuptuar mire ate nuk mund te kptojme e ndertojme te sotmen e te ardhmen.Mendje te ndritura nuk e kane quajtur pa arsye etnologjine si disiplina me humane ne shkencat humanitare.Ajo eshe psikologjia e vertet e popullit.

Re: Mitologjia shqiptare
In Albanian mythology, Gjergj Elez Alia was a great warrior who had fought against enemies of all kinds. He had nine wounds on his body and lay suffering for nine years in his house and everybody had forgotten him. Only his sister took care for him night and day for nine years. Then news came that another enemy, Balozi i Zi (black knight) had come from the sea and was killing people and destroying villages every day. One day Gjergj felt some drops of water on his face and thought that his house had become so old that the rain was coming in. His sister told him that it was not the rain, but her tears on his face. She told him that Balozi had requested her and sooner or later would come to get her. Gjergj then told her to take his horse and make it ready for war, as he was going to fight against the horrible Baloz. He met Baloz the next day and had the fight; Gjergj was victorious. He returned home to his sister and as they hugged with joy, both their hearts stopped beating and they died instantly together. They were then buried in the same grave and the place was never forgotten. Everyone that passed by stopped to remember his great actions.

Re: Mitologjia shqiptare
nuk jam shume dakort me te gjitha sa po fus por ne se nxisin deshiren per pjesemarrje le te jene aty
Enji - He was the god of fire & war. He's equivalent in Greek & roman mythology might be Ares/Mars. He's equivalent in the Norse mythology is Thor. It is from this god that our week day e enjte (Thursday) comes from. This is interesting since Thursday in Germanic languages, is named after Thor/Thur, the god of war. Obviously, Enji must've been important to our people since we named a week day after him!
Prema - She was the goddess of fertility/birth. Her equivalent in the Greek mythology is Demeter. She is also honored with a week-day; e premte (friday). This is also interesting since the Germanic people have also named Friday after their fertility goddess, freya; examples are Freitag in German, Fredag in Scandinavian languages and Friday in the English language.
Anzotica - This was a goddess that in terms of belief, seems to have been restricted to the Illyrian tribe of the Liburnae. She's the Illyrian equivalent of Aphrodite/Venus! I believe that the middle of her name, Anzotica, is clearly connected with our word zot, god!
Ica/Ika - Another goddess of the Illyrians. I'm not quite sure what this goddess stood for. And could it be that her etymology is related to our word ika or ikje (flee or flight)?
Bindus - The god of water, the equivalent of Poseidon or Neptune. This god was especially worshipped by the Illyrians of the Iapod tribe (Japod?t).
Vidasus - Like Bindus, this Illyrian god was also the protector of water-sources. Apparently, he was always in company with the goddess of hunting (our equivalent to Artemis), Thana.
Thana - She was the goddess of hunting. I suspect that the etymology of her name is connected to our word tharje, i.e. withering, death. Afterall, hunting means death (of animals), so it wouldn't be surprising if that's where her name originates from. This, in turn, can be connected to the Greek word thanatos, death.
Dualos - The god/goddess of whine. It's clearly connected to our word dejur - to be drunk! This in turn, is of an old IE-root, since the word is also present in old Gothic, dwals, which has the same meaning as dejur!
Surd - The god of wheather. I'm just wildly speculating here, but wheather/wind equals to noice, and sometimes bad noice. Noice of high level in turn can make us deaf; could it be that it's from here that our word shurdh?r (deaf) stems from? We often use the term 'mos m? shurdho' when our ears hurts from an example, screaming ... ?? Or is it a Latin loan-word?
1. Djall
The Albanian name for the devil. Another name for the devil in Albanian is dreqi, from the Latin draco (dragon).
2. Bukuri e qiellit
Albanian name for the Christian God.
3. Ljubi
The Albanian demoness who will dry water courses in the land if no virgin is sacrificed to her.
4. En
Among the ancient Albanians the term for god in general, but also the name of the supreme god. The word en survived in enj?t?, the Albanian word for Thursday.
5. Kukuth
Ancient Albanian female demons of sickness who spread the plague. The spirit of a deceased miser, who cannot find rest, and who does much evil, is also called Kukuth.
6. Ora
An Albanian protective spirit. Every person is assigned an Ora at birth. Those who are courageous and diligent have one with a white face. Those who are cowardly and lazy have an Ora with a black face.
7. Fatit
South-Albanian female deities of destiny, similar to the Greek Moirae. These three goddesses appear at the cradle, on the third day after the birth of a child, to determine the child's fate.
8. Stihi
A female demon in south Albanian belief. She is represented as a fire-breathing dragon guarding a treasure.
9. Perendi
The Albanian thunder god of Illyrian origin. He is the consort of Prende, the goddess of love. Perendi is identical with the Lithuanian Perkunas and the Latvian Perkons.
10. Perit
In Albanian folklore, they are female mountain deities of great beauty. They are dressed entirely in white and are regarded as good fairies. They can become very angry towards those who spill bread, and will give these sinners a hump.
11. Verbti
The ancient Albanian god of fire and the northern wind whose name means "the blind one". Although he cannot see, his hearing is absolutely perfect. He has an aversion of obscene language and dirty business. With the advent of Christianization he was reduced to a demon who causes blindness.
12. Kulshedra
A different name for dragon-like creature Bolla from Albanian folklore.
13. Vitore
A good Albanian household spirit who, in the shape of a small snake, lives in the walls of the house. With a soft whistling it announces both pleasant as well as sad events.
14. Xindhi
The Xindhi are, in Albanian folklore, elves or elfish creatures. Their approaching is accompanied by the creaking of a door or the flickering of a flame. The Xindhi are the male spirits and the Xindha are the female spirits. They are known to be sometimes friendly and helpful, but more often they are cruel to humans.
15. Bukura e dheut
A beautiful fairy among the ancient Albanians who is always very helpful. The supreme god Tomor is her lover. She is sometimes connected with the underworld and shows some demonical aspects. Her name means "the beauty of the earth". Her sister is Bukura e detit, and her name means "the beauty of the sea".
16. Tomor
The supreme god of the ancient Albanians, from Illyrian origin. He is the father of all the gods and humans and lover of the beautiful goddess Bukura e dheut. The winds are his servants. He is also known as Baba Tomor.
17. Prende
Goddess of love worshipped by the ancient Illyrians and, later, the Albanians. The wife of Perendi, the Illyrian thunder-god, Prende is referred to in folktales and legends as the "queen of beauty" (zoja e bukuris). After the Catholicization of the region, Prende was absorbed into the new church as a minor saint; as in pre-Christian days, her holy day always falls on a Friday.
18. Bolla
In ancient Albanian folklore, Bolla is a snake-like (or dragon-like) creature that sleeps throughout the entire year. On Saint George's Day, it will open its eyes and look into the world. A human unfortunate enough to be spotted by Bolla will be devoured instantly. At the end of a twelve-year cycle it mutates into another being, called Kulshedra. This creature is a horrible, fire-breathing dragon with nine tongues. Kulshedra is sometimes also represented as an enormous woman with a hairy body and hanging breasts. The monster can cause a shortage of water and it requires human sacrifices to propitiate it. The creature is also known as Bullar in south Albania.

Re: Mitologjia shqiptare
Ju falemenderit shume Martin Mato. Thank you so much for telling some about the Albanian mythology in english as well. I have always been fascinated by the mythologys. Special since I come from the north, Scandinavia which has lots of mythology of the viking era. I did check out the link you shared with us.
Mythology is fascinating because so much of our origin comes from there.
