Rhabdophobia is the fear of rods or being beaten by rods and the ‘fear of wands or the fear of magic’. The word ‘rhabdo’ comes from Greek ‘stick/rod/switch’ and the word phobia is derived from Greek phobos meaning fear.

People with Rhabdophobia are extremely scared of spell casters, magicians and witches –in general of anything or anyone that can cast spells or bend them at their will. Some people fear illusions or even stage magicians who perform tricks.

Rhabdophobia can produce various symptoms. Broadly speaking, we can differentiate the symptoms into two main categories- physical and psychological. These can vary in severity and some people could experience them strongly just by thinking about magic.
