Fake article for priest (6)
I believe the answer is:
shaman
'priest' is the definition.
(shaman is a kind of priest)
'fake article' is the wordplay.
'fake' becomes 'sham' ('sham' can be a synonym of 'fake').
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'sham'+'an'='SHAMAN'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for shaman that I've seen before include "Asian doctor-priest" , "16 21 [INDIAN IMPORT]" , "Spiritual healer" , "Doctor-priest working by magic" , "Indian priest" .)
