örökldhetség

Örökldség refers to a concept in Hungarian folklore and mythology that describes the idea of an eternal or immortal state. In various oral traditions and written accounts, örökldség is often associated with certain individuals or beings who possess a certain degree of invincibility or resisting death.

According to legend, these beings, often referred to as "örökös" or "öröktelenség," are said to have lived for centuries, or even millennia, accumulating immense knowledge, power, and wisdom. They are frequently depicted as possessing supernatural abilities, such as superhuman strength, agility, or the power of prophecy.

Örökldség often involves a sense of continuity, with one's ancestors or predecessors being said to have achieved this state of immortality. In this light, the concept takes on a deeper significance, serving as a justification for the societal and cultural practices of the Hungarian people.

Associates of örökldség include the description of the afterlife in pagan Hungarian beliefs. Those with örökldség are often said to be mainly invisible spirits remaining in the world, remembering and subsidizing their descendants with instruction, wisdom, tutoring, or special fortune.
