Witchcraft - Ancient Middle Eastern and Near Eastern beliefs.
The belief in witchcraft and its practice seem to have been widespread in the past. Both in ancient Egypt and in Babylonia it played a conspicuous part, as existing records plainly show. It will be sufficient to quote a short section from the Code of Hammurabi (about 2000 B.C.). It is there prescribed,
If a man has laid a charge of witchcraft and has not justified it, he upon whom the witchcraft is laid shall go to the holy river; he shall plunge into the holy river and if the holy river overcome him, he ...

| | | | Witchcraft: Encyclopedia II - Witchcraft - African witchcraft Africans have a wide range of views of traditional religions. African Christians typically accept Christian dogma as do their counterparts in Latin America and Asia. The term witch doctor, often attributed to African inyanga, has been misconstrued to mean "a healer who uses witchcraft" rather than its original meaning of "one who diagnoses and cures maladies caused by witches". Combining Roman Catholic beliefs and practices and traditional West African religious beliefs and practices are several syncretic religions in the Americas, in ...

Practices to which the witchcraft label have been historically applied are those which influence another person's body or property against his or her will, or which are believed, by the person doing the labeling, to undermine the social or religious order.
Some modern commentators, especially neopagan ones, consider the malefic nature of witchcraft to be a Christian projection.

WitchcraftWicca and Witchcraft: Basic Philosophy of Wicca or Witchcraft Wicca, or Witchcraft, is an earth religion -- a re-linking with the life force of nature, both on this planet and in the stars and space beyond. In city apartments, in suburban backyards, and in country glades, groups of women and men meet on the new and full moons and at festival times to raise energy and put themselves in tune with these natural forces. They honor the old goddesses and gods, including the Triple Goddess of the waxing, full, and waning moon, and the Horned God of the sun and animal life, as visualizations of immanent nature.

| | |  Witchcraft: General Practices in WiccaWicca and Witchcraft: General Practices in Wicca (Witchcraft) The roots of the religion called Wicca, or Witchcraft, are very old, coming down to us through a variety of channels worldwide. Although any general statement about our practices will have exceptions, the following will attempt to present a basic foundation for understanding. Some of the old practices were lost when indigenous religions encountered militant Christianity and were forced to go underground for survival. The ancient mystery religions were lost when the practice of the rites were stopped and the old verbal traditions were no longer available.

Craft Fairy-TaleWitchcraft: TWO WITCHES A Modern Craft Fairy-Tale Once upon a time, there were two Witches. One was a Feminist Witch and the other was a Traditionalist Witch. And, although both of them were deeply religious, they had rather different ideas about what their religion meant. The Feminist Witch tended to believe that Witchcraft was a religion especially suited to women because the image of the Goddess was empowering and a strong weapon against patriarchal tyranny. And there was distrust in the heart of the Feminist Witch for the Traditionalist Witch because, from the Feminist perspective, the Traditionalist Witch seemed subversive and a threat to "the Cause".

Health Dictionary on Witchcraft witchcraft (the Old Religion): Generally, the use of amulets (or talismans), magical potions, magical rituals, and/or spells. For example, The Complete Book of Magic and Witchcraft (1980) describes a cure for jaundice: 12 large earthworms, baked on a shovel and ground to powder, drunk in potion. The author, Kathryn Paulsen, added parenthetically: Somewhat poisonous effects have been noticed from this recipe. For madness, she recommended consuming a drink containing mild honey and salt - before sunrise and from a seashell; and for strength, a black spider between two slices of buttered bread.

| | | | Witchcraft: Encyclopedia II - European witchcraft - Witchcraft and the Church
European witchcraft - Beginnings.
The advent of Christianity suggests that potential Christians, comfortable with the use of magic as part of their daily lives, expected Christian clergy to work magic of a form superior to the old Pagan way. While Christianity competed with Pagan religion, this concern was paramount, only lessening in importance once Christianity was the dominant religion in most of Europe. In place of the old Pagan magic methodology, the Church placed a Christian methodology involving saints and divine relics — a s ...

| | | | Witchcraft: Encyclopedia II - European witchcraft - History of European witchcraft From the earliest recorded use of the term 'witch' to about the mid-19th century, witches were universally associated with evil, under the belief that the witch's magical powers were granted by Satan in exchange for the witch's soul. A few folk tales, however, refer to kindly witches. Many extraordinary claims were made about the powers of witches, which include the ability to fly, to transform oneself or others into animals or other shapes, and to curse one's enemies. On the other hand, these powers were associated with folklore monsters lo ...
