Zagovory is a word that comes from Russia and it means a kind of magic spell or charm. Imagine you have a special power or magic that you can use to make things happen. Zagovory are spells that people use to make things happen the way they want them to. It's like wishing for something and having it come true.
People who use zagovory believe that they can have some control over their lives and the lives of others by using these spells. They use different words and actions to bring about these things. Like in a storybook a prince might use a zagovora to wake up a sleeping princess, or a witch might use a zagovora to turn someone into a frog or toad.
Zagovory are usually spoken in whispers or secret words and they are often performed in private or with a small group of people who know about the spell. People believe that if they say the right words and do the right things that their wishes will come true. It's like a special secret that only a few people know about.
Even though zagovory may sound like make-believe, or like a fairy tale, people all over the world believe in magic, and it's a way of explaining things that they can't understand. It's a way to believe that things can be better, and that they can have control over their lives.
