The study deals with the significance of the ceremony of blessing the mother after birth in Bohemia and Moravia in the period from the 16th to the 21st century. It focuses a different accents in the approach of folk belief, which is reflected in folk customs and the significance which to the ceremony attributed Church. The ceremony of blessing the mother after birth was one of the most important rituals in the life of Bohemian and Moravian people from the Middle Ages until the late 19th century. We are convinced by this fact not only by ceremonial elements of folk traditions, but also by the fact that the forms of the ceremony of this blessing were ranked in the liturgical books between the sacraments and blessing accompanying significant life milestones, such as marriage, baptism and burial. Church blessing ceremony accompanied by many folk customs, both of which formed integral whole, ritual complex which accompany the transition women from the status of puerperas as those excluded from the local community to the status of the mother, adopted in this social status. The text does not deal with the description of folk rites, or socio-cultural context, e.g. high maternal and infant mortality, marital and extramarital fertility and other phenomena that have a direct impact on the development of the ritual elements connected with our theme. Attention is focused on the elements of a religious ceremony of blessing the mother after birth, its origin, form and meaning from the perspective of the Church. The work is based primarily on an analysis of blessing texts included in the liturgy books of the churches active in Bohemia and Moravia, as well as texts which attempt to present an exposition of the ceremony meaning, homiletic literature — Czech postils by Catholic and Evangelical authors and specialist theological literature, specifically liturgical textbooks and specialist journals. Particular attention is paid to Catholic liturgy ceremony from which ceremonies of other religion are derived.

The article discusses Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony with a focus on textual manifestations of the figure of the trickster. The theme of shape-shifting and transformation that one usually associates with tricksters is linked here with the theme of (non)dualist timespace, the notion of interbeing, which in turn introduces the theme of trauma healing. The author combines two perspectives-Paula Gunn Allen’s view on timespace in her The Sacred Hoop, and Gerald Vizenor’s writings concerning trickster aesthetics-in order to show that the narrative structure of the novel can also be seen as an embodiment of the trickster: trickster-timespace, trickster-relation, and trickster-processuality; these three manifestations of the trickster are analyzed from the perspective of one more actualization of the trickster, that of a psychopomp, the “Guide of Souls” (which is manifested both at the level of plot and narration).

Based on a study of liturgical articles in the Journal of the Catholic Clergy (Časopis katolického duchovenstva), I point out the concept of the liturgy in the Czech environment and the formation of the liturgy. I introduce certain important Czech figures who were engaged in the liturgy and who are worthy of our attention.
