Пажња је усмјерена на кључне елементе текста благослова и самог обреда, а представљени лексички материјал доведен је у везу с истим и сличним етнојезичким појавама на Балкану, па и шире., Language, as a socially-conditioned phenomenon, contributes to the preservation of cultural identity of traditional communities. Analysis of the masquerade ceremony čarojice through the prism of similar ceremonies in the Indo-European regions confirmed that in many cultures the same or similar procedures often repeat as the remnants of the Slavic heritage, and that the differences are caused by the cultural context of the local community. In their historical development, Serbian traditional customs have been gradually dying out, specially if they are not closely connected with the Christian teachings. Therefore, belief in the magical power of the participants in the procession and their influence on the natural forces and our destinies was replaced by the belief in the power of God’s blessing, which would satisfy the basic needs of the community: giving birth, progress, togetherness, protection of homes from greater challenges etc.
A significant, if not the most significant part of the čarojice ceremonies are blessing formulas, in which a creative power of language gets its expression. Modality of the texts of blessings reflects the target meaning, as a necessary component of optativity.",
