  • La janara (AFI: /jaˈnaːra/) nelle credenze popolari dell'Italia meridionale, e in particolare dell'area di Benevento e dell'Irpinia, è una delle tante specie di streghe che popolavano i racconti appartenenti soprattutto alla tradizione del mondo agreste e contadino. La dea Diana associata alla Luna, in un'opera del Guercino (1658) Il nome potrebbe derivare da Dianara, ossia «sacerdotessa di Diana», dea romana della Luna, oppure dal latino ianua, «porta»: era appunto dinanzi alla porta, che, secondo la tradizione, era necessario collocare una scopa, oppure un sacchetto con grani di sale; la strega, costretta a contare i fili della scopa, o i grani di sale, avrebbe indugiato fino al sorgere del sole, la cui luce pare fosse sua mortale nemica.
