principesa domnitoare Pauna Cantacuzino, a avut o criza in timpul
slujbei de Sf Maria, ea fiind suspectata ca impreuna cu sotul ei
l-au tradat turciilor pe precedentul principe Constantin
Brancoveanu. Pentru a o disculpa, nestiindu-se natura crizei,
epilepsie, cadere de calciu, etc, sub pretextul ca ar fi fost fost
vrajita, 2 calugarite martore ale crizei au fost spanzurate, iar alta
zidita de vie in subsolurile unei manastiri.

present, o multitudine de intervievati: istorici, antropologi,

nu se poate ignora magia, mistica, etc.
