Greek words for Magic – Part 1

Please note that the full and/or root words mentioned here, like most Greek words, are still in use since antiquity. As a Greek speaker, I love sharing my interesting language with people like you! ღ

1. γητεία (ghitía, n)

"Enchantment," "spell," or "magic." The charming or casting spells, often associated with witchcraft or mystical practices. from γητεύω ("to enchant" or "to bewitch", derived from γήτης or γόης (sorcerer, enchanter, deceiver).

Pervasive throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia until late antiquity and beyond, mághos (μάγος) was influenced by (and eventually displaced) Greek ghoēs (γόης), the older word for a practitioner of magic, to include astronomy/astrology, alchemy, and other forms of esoteric knowledge.

We also have the words γοητεία (ghoitía, n) and γόητρo (ghóitrο, n) which mean "charm", "allure".

2. μαγγανεία (maganía, n)

Literally, “from a device” or “machination” (literal).

Only used metaphorically, as "Sorcery," "magic," or "witchcraft." Magical practices, enchantments, or trickery, often with a negative connotation (as deceitful or malicious magic).

From μάγγανον (device, contraption, mechanism," which was often used to refer to tricks or deceptive contrivances.

3. μάγισσα (mághissa, n)

A woman who practices magic, enchantment, or supernatural arts, often associated with folklore, mythology, or mystical traditions. In modern usage, “μάγισσα” is commonly referred to witches in fairy tales, folklore, and popular culture, though it can also imply a powerful or wise woman with mystical abilities.

From μάγος (mághos), meaning "magician" or "sorcerer", + the feminine suffix -ισσα. It derives from the Old Persian word maguš, referring to the priestly class of the Zoroastrians, known for their knowledge of astrology and rituals.

4. μαγεία (maghía, n)

Magic or witchcraft. The art of performing supernatural acts, spells, or rituals. Τhe use of esoteric knowledge to influence the natural world or events in a mystical manner.

The term entered the Greek language through contact with the Persians during the classical period. It is used in modern times instead of μαγγανεία (maganía).

From the Persian "maguš".

5. μάγια (mághia, n, always plural)

Literally, “Produced of magic”. Spells or charms used for magical purposes. It refers to magical practices or sorcery, often with a connotation of folk magic or superstitions.

Form of μαγεία (maghía), often used in a more colloquial or folkloric sense.

6. καταδεσμός (katadesmós, n, “d” as “th” in “the”)

Literally, "a binding down." In ancient Greek culture, it referred specifically to spells or curses intended to bind or constrain another person’s actions or will. Refers to a magical act, often written on a tablet, that was meant to bind someone or something, typically used in love spells, curses, or other forms of ritual magic.

These were commonly associated with ancient magical practices, especially in the context of invoking deities or spirits to enforce the binding. It has taken the meaning of "binding spell" or "curse." From κατά- ("down" or "against") + δεσμός ("bond" or "binding").

Today we don't use the term, but we our tradition still considers the enchanted person "bound" by a spell.

7. κατάρα (katára, n)

Lit. "A wish against someone". A curse. A spoken or written spell intended to bring misfortune or harm to someone.

from the καταράομαι (to curse, - deriving from κατά- ("against") + ἄρω (“call upon”, "wish")).

8. φυλακτό (filaktó, n)

Literally, “Guarding object”. A talisman, amulet, or magical object carried or worn for protection against evil spirits, harm, or misfortune. Also met as φυλαχτάρι (fylahtári).

From φυλάσσω (to guard, to protect).
