Hungarian Neopaganism, the Hungarian Native Faith, or ''Ősmagyar Vallás'' (Hungarian expression meaning Ancient Hungarian Religion, or more accurately Arch-Hungarian Religion) as it is called in the local discourse, is a broad category defining the Neopagan movements which seek to rebuild an ethnic religion of the Hungarians, inspired by Hungarian mythology and folklore. These movements have roots in the ethnological studies of the early 20th century. The elaboration of a national Hungarian religion was endorsed in interwar Turanist circles (1930s-40s), and finally blossomed alongside other Pagan religions in Hungary since the fall of the Soviet Union.〔Kolozsi 2012, p. 36-62〕 The boundaries between Hungarian Neopagan groups are often determined by their differing ideas about the ethnogenetic origins of the Hungarians, which have historically been a matter of debate.〔Kolozsi 2012, p. 66〕 Many groups acknowledge the mainstream Uralic theory of the Hungarian origins, while other ones disallow it, endorsing Scythian, Sumerian〔Kolozsi 2012, p. 37-38〕 or Turkic connections.〔Kolozsi 2012, p. 43-47〕 The development of the Hungarian Neopagan movements largely rely on a background layer constituted by the work of individual shamans or neoshamans, the ''táltos'', who have surfaced since the 1980s.〔Kolozsi 2012, p. 36-62〕 Some of the ''Ősmagyar Vallás'' organisations find support from the Fidesz and Jobbik political formations.〔Kolozsi 2012, p. 64-65〕 ==History== The study of the ancient religion of the Hungarian people has been hanging together with the debate on their ethnogenesis.〔Kolozsi 2012, p. 37〕 Fringe theories about Scythian and Sumerian origins were supported by early ethnologists.〔Kolozsi 2012, p. 38〕 With the mid-19th century Romantic influence on ethnology, new studies on folklore were carried out, and the mainstream religious studies circles gradually welcomed the conception of the original Hungarian religion as based on shamanism, with relations to Uralic and Siberian traditions. This stream of thought was hallmarked by Arnold Ipolyi's impressive ''Hungarian Mythology''.〔Kolozsi 2012, p. 38〕 The idea of an ethnic Hungarian shamanism was later carried forward in a psychoanalytical way by Géza Róheim in the 1920s, and by Vilmos Diószegi with field work in Siberia in the 1950s and the 1960s.〔Kolozsi 2012, p. 38〕 The shamanic character of the original Hungarian religion, whether the native faith is fully described by it or it was only an aspect, is accepted by the majority of scholars.〔Kolozsi 2012, p. 38〕 Thus, further studies focussed on the ethnic Hungarian shamans, the ''táltos''.〔Kolozsi 2012, p. 39〕 The idea of a national Hungarian religion was later endorsed also in the Hungarian Turanist milieu in the 1930s and the 1940s, generally focussing on a kinship with both the Uralic peoples and the Turkic peoples.〔Kolozsi, p. 43-47〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hungarian neopaganism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
