طقوس الماء في المتخيل الشعبي المغربي : منطقة الغرب أنموذجا-دراسة أنثروبولوجية

Abstract EN

Perhaps "water" is impermeable, with intellectual and symbolic loads in the mind of the Moroccan popular person.

It was and still is for him a symbol of goodness, fertility and purity at times, and a source of fear and terror when its abundance turns into a deluge that haunts him at other times.

Water has always been the oppressive force and weakness of the Western human being, and through that this vital substance derived its sanctity and prominent role in making the vital field for the saints and righteous people in the western region ...

as water dignity is one ofthe constants of social beliefs and its deep structures, whose effectiveness is derived from the sacred who This earned it permanence and continuity in the dynamic of popular religious thought dominated by belief in the supernatural, so that the superstition becomes firmly established, and the state achieves promotion to a higher reality linked to the level of divinity ..

So the connection of water with dignity made it a symbol of life, immortality, purity, humility and knowledge, while the second became a symbol of perfection and supernatural abilities That the average person misses ..

Hence, my study of the topic "Water rituals in the Moroccan folklore, the western region as a model" came as an opportunity to dig into the forbidden taboos, and to research the water knowledge of the popular human being in its existential and anthropological dimensions, making water a "cultural event" with multiple connotations and symbols, and a key to reading and understanding this human mentality Pdf.

In its depth, it is a study that searches for the ritual relationship between man and water, that relationship that produced a water culture that was directly reflected in his popular creations, carved his mindset and framed his behavior.
