witchery
Cauldron and curses
Witchery is the practice of witchcraft or magic, or the quality of being bewitching.
The word often carries a sense of enchantment or irresistible charm: the witchery of her smile, the witchery of the moonlit forest.
It suggests something captivating that seems to work by supernatural means, whether literal sorcery or figurative spell-casting.
