Paper short abstract:

Based on studies done on this field, and data from researchers we have found out that Albanians had practiced rites and actions with elements of magic faith for curing different ‘disease’ of children, which were considered to have been effective.

Paper long abstract:

Actions with magical belief are considered to be still inherited in those places where the human mind, spirit of belief in the powers of the visible and invisible, something perhaps even nonexistent is present.

Methods and evidence of different popular magical- Religious actions have functioned many years ago for diseases of infants and children in various forms, some of which seem also to occur at this time.

Even though we are dealing with a period of a great socio-economic change accompanied with a high intellectual awareness, methods of healing magic formula for certain diseases or conditions acquired by children for various reasons are still being applied in our society.

We think that the issue of this kind of belief of Albanians, referring to the spiritual life is of interest to be studied in more detail to shed light on this phenomenon of tradition which is still valid today.
