Paganism & Wicca - What Is A Bosorka Or Bosorkania?

Bosorka/Bosorkania is a Carpatho-Ukrainian word that means "witch." 


  • The female bosorka is always present in every generation. 
  • The seventh girl in a family is destined to be a bosorka, as is the third generation in a family with three generations of women born out of wedlock. 
  • If these chance encounters don't work out, there's always the option of a dying bosorka transferring her abilities to a surviving bosorka. 


The term may also refer to a supernatural figure that appears as a white lady with long slender arms and chicken-like feet. 

Boszorkany is another name for Boszorkany.
