Vedmak

In Slavic mythology, a vedmak is a warlock or male witch, the female equivalent (witch) being vedma. This role greatly focuses on the Shamanic aspects of Slavic paganism.

For example, they treat people and animals. On the other hand, they are thought to be people connected to the devil, and are capable of bringing harm by sending illnesses, killing cattle, spoiling a harvest, etc. The word was also used as an insult. A vedmak can turn into any animal or any object.
