Albanian here.
Yes, spirituality is important in Albania.
The lack of a religious culture has left space for superstitiousness in Albanian society .
So many times this importance Albanians give to spirituality translates into superstitious behavior such as this :
Yes, sheep horn and garlic. They “help” in keeping away the *bad eye *:-) Standing to Albanian superstitiousness, bad eye is a kind of voluntary or involuntary way to wish bad things to somebody, so that somebody, will arm himself with garlic and horns in order to protect his house and family :-)
In other cases, the Albanian society has an healthier way to show spirituality .
For example "The day of summer", which is the country's largest pagan festival. It is intended to celebrate the end of winter, the rebirth of nature, and a rejuvenation of spirit among the Albanians as of Wikipedia .
The festival is widely celebrated in central Albania, but also in south and in the main cities.
In 2004, Summer Day became an official holiday in Albania.
On this day and even since March 1, many young people usually wear a traditional bracelet called verore (a word derived from summer) made of two thin braided strings usually red and white. It brings prosperity(white) and good health (red).
Also in the region of Elbasan there is a traditional sweet called Ballakume.
Finally, I think that ballakume sweet is much better than garlic and horn in keeping away the bad eye ;-)
