Moşul (mythology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moşul (the old man), is a mysterious benevolent character, symbol of wisdom and prosperity in Romanian mythology. Some historians associate him with the ancient Dacian god Zamolxis, or with the Roman god Saturn. In 1935, after allegedly having witnessed appearances of the Moşul, the illiterate shepherd Petrache Lupu of the village Maglavit tried to establish a sort of religion based upon this.
