English term

jadoo

English to Polish Art/Literary Folklore
(...) if there was any jadoo afoot, I had not the least objection to giving it my countenance and sanction, and to seeing that it was clean jadoo--white magic, as distinguished from the unclean jadoo which kills folk.

Kontekst: Indie/Pakistan, czasy panowania Brytyjczyków.
Wiem, że chodzi o czary, zastanawiam się tylko czy jest jakieś ciekawsze polskie określenie :)
Proposed translations (Polish)
3 czar
3 magia
3 szamanizm/naturalna magia

Pełna z zgoda z Serenadele. Nie tłumaczyć.
Pisownia - urdu i arabska taka sama i podobna - farsi.
Chyba, że mamy PL odpowiednik (nie znam), jak np. dla słowa - gehenna = arabskie - jahannam = dżahanna'm = piekło

Właśnie tego szukałam, ale o ile udało mi się znaleźć w polskich tekstach inne słowa pochodzące z języków używanych w Indiach to na jadoo ani jadu nie udało mi się trafić. Dziękuję :)
Serenadele Nov 11, 2013:
uważam, ze nie należy tłumaczyć słowa jadoo, tylko zostawić jak jest bądź dać jadu (jak gdzieś widziałam w tekstach polskich)

samo jadoo zawiera białą i czarną magię, czyli clean jadoo i unclean jadoo

szamanizm/naturalna magia

All shamanism is said to be white magic. White magic is referred to as "natural magic." So, we have two viable terms. Hopefully, white magic overcomes the unclean, sulfurous black magic.


Because of its ties to traditional pagan nature worship, white magic is often also referred to as "natural magic"

According to Place, effectively all prehistoric shamanistic magic was "helping" white magic and thus the basic essence of that magic forms the framework of modern white magic: curing illness or injury, divining the future or interpreting dreams, finding lost items, appeasing spirits, controlling weather or harvest and generating good luck or well-being
