Μαγεία Explanation: That's the correct translation of 'witchcraft'. The word Φαρμακεία actually means 'poisoning' in Greek (also 'drug stores' but I dont't think this rendition fits here!). HTH Alex Seidanis |

poisoning, witchcraft Explanation: the word ΦΑΡΜΑΚΕΙΑ (FARMAKÍA)has double meaning in greek. It either means giving poison to someone in order to poison him, so it is translated "poisoning" or making magic to someone so it is translated "witchcraft". It all depends to the context.
