witcheries
Acts of sorcery
Witcheries are acts of witchcraft or sorcery, or more often, things that seem to work like magic—captivating qualities that bewitch or enchant.
The word usually appears in figurative contexts: the witcheries of her smile, the witcheries of the stage.
It suggests seductive or spellbinding charm rather than literal magic.
