Witchcraft - Practices typically considered to be witchcraft: Encyclopedia - Witchcraft

The term witchcraft (and witch) is a controversial one with a complicated history. Witchcraft is viewed differently in different cultures around the globe. Used with entirely different contexts, and within entirely different cultural references, it can take on distinct and often contradictory meanings. Each culture has its own particular body of concepts dealing with magic, religion, benevolent and harmful spirits, and ritual; and these ideas d ...

Influencing another person's body or property: 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. The concept of a magic-worker influencing another person's body or property ag ...

Witchcraft - Practices typically considered to be witchcraft: Encyclopedia II - European witchcraft - Typical practices

The characterization of the witch in Europe is not derived from a single source. Popular neopagan beliefs suggest that witches were female shamans who were made into malicious figures by Christian propaganda. This is an erroneous oversimplification and presumes that a recognizable folklore figure must derive from a single historical precedent (a female, maligned magic-worker). The familiar witch of folklore and popu ...

Witchcraft - Practices typically considered to be witchcraft: TWO WITCHES A Modern Craft Fairy-Tale

Witchcraft: 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".

Wicca 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.

Wicca 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 - Practices typically considered to be witchcraft: Encyclopedia - Witchcraft Act

In England, a succession of Witchcraft Acts have governed witchcraft and provided penalties for its practice. To consider the changes in these laws is to make a chronicle of received ideas about the subject. The first act of Parliament directed specifically against witchcraft was the act De hæretico comburendo, passed at the instigation of Archbishop Thomas Arundel in 1401. It specifically named witchcraft — sortilegium — "sorcery", or "divination", as a species of heresy, and provided that unless the accused ...

Witchcraft - Practices typically considered to be witchcraft: Encyclopedia - Christian views on witchcraft

Christian views on witchcraft arise from scriptural, theological, and historical considerations. Christian views on witchcraft - Modern views. Most modern Christians do not believe that witchcraft genuinely works. Those Christians who do, generally believe that it derives its power from forces of evil. For example, some Christians believe that witches' powers were obtained from a pact with Satan. For some reason, the same views are generally held on supposed witchcraft that does not gain power from Satan. O ...

Witchcraft - Practices typically considered to be witchcraft: Encyclopedia - Sabbath witchcraft

In Christian folklore, the Sabbath (also known as "Witch's Sabbath") was a gathering supposed to have been celebrated by Satanists, witches and warlocks to honor the Devil, offend God, Jesus, the sacraments, the cross, and perform unholy rites. European records tell of innumerable cases of persons being accused or tried for taking part Sabbath gatherings, from the Middle Ages to the 17th century or later. However, there are no reliable reports on what actually happened during a Sabbath; and much of what was written about them m ...

Witchcraft - Practices typically considered to be 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 - Practices typically considered to be 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 ...

Witchcraft - Practices typically considered to be witchcraft: Encyclopedia II - Asian witchcraft - Japan

In Japan, Shinto, which had been widely accepted along with Buddhism, is itself shamanistic religion and thus Japanese never attached negative connotations to witchcraft. "Witch" may actually be used with positive connotation in Japanese language as a female with high skills or fame not limited to works of fiction like manga or anime. Japanese women's volleyball team which won a gold medal at Tokyo Olympics is known in Japan as "Toyo no Majyo" (東洋の魔女) or "Oriental Witches".

Similarly, Vaikundar performed another action to 'seize the esoteric evil powers'. Akilam says that, he had taken away the powers of those who knew to perform witchcraft, sorcery, and other magical rituals. People living in the hills, called as Kanikkarar, were believed to be powerful shamans or witchdoctors, having powers to contain or to provoke the demons. Vaikundar, in yet another occasion of trance, made some of these Kanikkarar to testify in front of the people that they had surrendered their powers. People grew appreciative of Ayya's ...
