ROMANIA, BETWEEN MAGIC AND SUPERSTITION

The world in all its states

An episode from the series ARTE INVESTIGATION

Synopsis

In Romania, 40% of the population regularly consults witches, a profession officially recognized by the state since 2011.

Bratara Buzea, the queen of witches in Bucharest, practices with her daughter in a city where the Church tolerates customs that sociologists read as a people's deep attachment to its traditions.
