An Introduction to Balkan Folk Magic
<p>Like many old world practices, traditional Balkan magic has historically been carried out by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunning_folk" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">cunning folk</a>, healers and seers who were gifted in communicating with the “other world”. These community healers practiced generational family knowledge, remedies and prayers passed down from elders. It is important to note that most cunning folk did not view themselves as witches, rather they were seen as conduits for god’s miracles. Within a historical context, these practitioners very much considered themselves Christian, Muslim, or Jewish. Elements of paganism lingered in many rural regions, though they were absorbed into the social-religious fabric of the day. Rituals performed by cunning folk were typically protective, either preventative or as a treatment for supernatural maladies. Spells shielded people from harm, physically or spiritually.</p>
