Molfar prayer an jaw harp

Molfar Mykhailo Nechay explains to all those uninitiated in Hutsul traditions that he is the last Carpathian shaman. They readily believe this. And at the first festival "Chervona Ruta" in 1989, atheist Komsomol members invited the old man to disperse the clouds over Chernivtsi. And all three days of the festival it rained in Bukovina, but in Chernivtsi not a drop fell from the sky.

Grandfather Nechay really does possess amazing natural powers, knows ancient spells, the secrets of herbs and minerals, with alchemical precision smelts silver tlismans, makes drymbas himself, the magical sound of which has not yet been forgotten in the Carpathians.
