Abstract

U ovom radu pozornost je usmjerena na neopagansku zajednicu Paganski krug Hrvatske (PKH). Članovi ove zajednice sastaju se primarno prilikom održavanja sezonskih ritualnih slavlja -mjesečevih i sunčevih blagdana kako bi u ritualnom obredu doživjeli osobnu transformaciju i mistična duhovna iskustva. Cilj ovog rada bio je istražiti povijest i organizaciju PKH, propitati razloge pristupanja tom pokretu te ispitati ritualna iskustva sudionika. U istraživanju je primijenjen fenomenološki pristup, a u prikupljanju podataka korištene su metode polustrukturiranog dubinskog intervjua i praktične mimeze. Istraživanjem su utvrđeni individualni razlozi pristupanja PKH, potvrđene su teorijske postavke o tripartitnoj ritualnoj strukturi, značaju pravilnog izvođenja ritualnih koraka te važnosti svetih mitova i ritualnih alata. Također, razvidnim se pokazalo da iskustva svih 5 kazivača uključenih u istraživanje obuhvaćaju tri kategorije doživljaja, protok energije, povezivanje i stabilnost (osnaženost), te da oni korespondiraju s tri faze rituala: separacije, liminalne i faze integracije.

Abstract (english)

The focus of this paper was to conduct the research of neo-pagan community Paganski krug Hrvatske (PKH). Members of this community primarily gather during seasonal ritual celebrations - lunar and solar holidays - to experience personal transformation and mystical spiritual experiences through ritual ceremonies. The aim of this study was to explore the history and organization of PKH, examine the reasons for joining this movement, and investigate the ritual experiences of the participants. The research applied a phenomenological approach and the data was collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and practical mimesis. The research identified individual reasons for joining PKH, confirmed theoretical assumptions about the tripartite ritual structure, the significance of correct performance of ritual steps, and the importance of sacred myths and ritual tools. It was also found that experiences of all five participants involved in the research include three categories of sensations: the flow of energy, connection and stability (empowerment), and that these correspond to three ritual phases: separation, liminality and integration.
