Witchcraft in Spanish: Key Words & Cultural Insights

Okay, so I got curious about how to say “witchcraft” in Spanish. I’ve been watching a lot of shows lately that touch on the subject, and it got me thinking.

My Little Experiment

First, I just typed “witchcraft” into a translator. I got a few options back, but the main one was “brujería”. Seemed simple enough, right?

But then, I wanted to dig a little deeper. I started looking at some online forums, places where people were talking about related topics, you know, like magic, spells, and folklore, stuff like that.

  • I noticed that “brujería” kept popping up, but there were other words too.
  • I saw “hechicería” used sometimes.
  • Another word I found was “magia”, but that seemed to be more like general “magic”.

Then I tried to translate a phase with that word, so, I typed “witchcraft spells” into a translator, and I got “Hechizos de brujería”.

So, after all this, I feel like “brujería” is probably the most common and direct translation for “witchcraft”. “Hechicería” might work too, depending on the context. It’s always interesting to see how words can have slightly different meanings, even when they’re basically translating the same thing!
