Paganism & Wicca - What Is Zauberei?

Zauberei is a German word that means "magic." “One who knows,” says Znakhar/Znakharka (m/f). 

Similar to English cunning people, this Russian word denotes a magical practitioner. 


  • Distance healing, dream readings, Evil Eye eradication, the finding of lost or stolen goods, and the identifying of thieves are all services provided by the znakharka. 
  • It's possible that the znakharka is also a midwife. Also see Cunning Folk.
