The article discusses the peculiarities of passing on incantations by East Slavic sages (znahar’), emphasising the tradition of passing on incantations from one generation to another, inside and outside the family, tendencies of free magic knowledge transfer, as well as limitations to the passing of closing fragments of especially significant incantations (zamok ‘lock’ or zakrepka ‘fastening’). The second part of the article focuses on the rules the healer follows when using incantations as a magical means: attitude to incantations as material objects, practices for restoring the power of incantations, types of sages, as well as rules concerned with choosing the object of incantations.
