Abstract :
Beliefs are interesting and attractive subjects in every culture and have engaged minds of lots of people; and since one does not know about their validity, he imagines that they are contrary to human common sense. This makes human mind scrutinize them. This study deals with the beliefs of people in Chardaval region. The objective of doing such a study is to get familiar with the regional beliefs and their positions among the local people. For collecting data, we applied ethnographic and fieldwork methods; and in addition to interviews with knowledgeable people about the subject, direct observation and collecting documents were also applied to complete the work. The result we can get from this study is that although the beliefs in the contemporary society, compared to their existence in the past, are less and their function has decreased, this does not mean that they have disappeared. People’s mentality always holds to them, although people apply them less in their lives.
