This paper inquires about the social reasons and epistemological consequences of sacred knowledge (charms) outside its "original setting", toward an archive of folklore or to a new age journal. Some local specificities of relationships between knowledge and power are explored through multiple contextualisations of an interview we conducted with a former shepherd and healer in the Carpathian Mountains, Romania
