Konrad Koźmiński - With Ghosts and Souls

Rust Publishing 2026

With Ghosts and Souls explores religious and cultural syncretism in Bulgaria, where Orthodox Christianity intertwines with folk beliefs rooted in Thracian and Greek traditions. The country emerges as a landscape marked by centuries of overlapping rituals, meanings and spiritual practices. Sacred experience extends beyond institutional religion, appearing in thermal springs, roadside sites, domestic spaces and encounters with clairvoyants. Koźmiński portrays Bulgaria as an enigmatic place where the boundaries between traditions—and between visible and invisible worlds—remain fluid. Rather than providing definitive explanations, the book opens a space for imagination and for multiple ways of understanding the spiritual architecture of everyday life.
