In this presentation, I would like to highlight the difficulties I encountered in studying religiosity in the Podlasie region of eastern Poland. I explored the phenomenon of folk healers in Podlasie, typically elderly women known as whisperers, who use prayers and incantations to address various ailments and misfortunes. The practice is deeply rooted in the area's unique cultural blend of ethnicity, religion, and linguistic diversity. My research focused on the counties of Hajnówka, Bielsk Podlaski, and Siemiatycze in the Podlaskie Voivodeship. I examined the role of whisperers' rituals in the beliefs of Orthodox inhabitants of these counties, alongside the Orthodox Church's views on these practices, as whisperers' actions are syncretically linked with Orthodox culture and traditions. I would like to present the challenges I encountered in applying traditional anthropological research tools and theories to the analysis of Eastern Orthodox religiosity and religious phenomena in eastern Poland. Since the study of Orthodoxy is a relatively new area in sociocultural anthropology, the impact of exiting studies on the development of relevant theories and methodologies is still limited. So, the analytical frameworks and tools used to study Western Christianity are often inadequate for Eastern Christianity, limiting anthropological research. In my talk, I will discuss some of such issues and the difficulties I encountered researching Orthodoxy in Poland.
