Daughters of magic
There are still about 4,000 practicing witches in Romania, and many Romanians trust in their power. Costumers between Los Angeles and Belgrade bungled Mihaela Minca, one of the most powerful witches, for love advice or ask questions about skin creams for illnesses that are no longer used by conventional medicine. Her phone number is on Facebook and Instagram, rituals are transmitted to Florida via skype. Witchcraft is a modern business model. At the same time, Romanis are still discriminated and persecuted. What political influence do witches have today?
