#incantation

• Traditional charm — A rare regional term, recorded in some Romanian rural communities, used to denote a charm, a magical formula for driving away evil spirits, or an empirical practice to remove the evil eye and mild psychic ailments. In cultural anthropology studies, the word reflects the traditional psychological mechanisms through which archaic communities sought to restore the emotional and mental balance of an individual affected by fears.
• Abracadabra — A cabalistic word, magical formula, ancient incantation, or charm used historically by magicians, alchemists, and shamans as a protective amulet against illnesses or evil spirits, often written in a diminishing triangular shape; (in a modern, figurative sense) meaningless talk, completely unintelligible speech, confused text, obscure jargon, or a chaotic mixture of words lacking internal logic.
• Antipalagă — An extremely rare term from Romanian popular beliefs and superstitions, designating an archaic ritual, an incantation, or an apotropaic object utilized by rural communities to ward off, counteract, or scatter hail, violent storms, and destructive clouds looming over crops.
• Water for trând — An archaic term from Romanian folk medicine and incantations designating a therapeutic infusion or holy water used empirically to cure 'trând' (an old ailment usually identified with lymphatic node inflammation, scrofula, impetigo, or a state of severe physical languor). This liquid was prepared from specific medicinal herbs and administered to the patient alongside magical formulas.
• Old woman (vocative) — An archaic, regional, or popular vocative form used to call or address an elderly woman, a grandmother, or a traditional midwife within a rural community. The term reflects a familiar-affectionate nuance or, conversely, a strident-popular one, frequently found in ritual chants, incantations, or dialogues within folkloric theater plays, where it preserves old phonetic links to ancient Balkan inflectional forms.
