Tantrik

In tantra, a tantrik is a man who is usually associated with black magic and practices of the occult. These men are known for their superstitious rituals. Tantriks are called upon to free a person who is "possessed". They are similar to "Exorcists" in the western culture.

Tantra, or more properly tantrika, is a diverse and rich spiritual tradition of the Indian sub-continent. Although in recent years, in the Western world, it has become almost exclusively associated with sex, in reality this is one aspect of what is a way of life. In India itself, tantra is now, nearly always, associated with spells and black deeds.
