SECTION 1
WITCHCRAFT
Witchcraft, the exercise or invocation of alleged supernatural powers to
control people or events, practices typically involving sorcery or magic.
Although defined differently in disparate historical and cultural contexts,
witchcraft has often been seen, especially in the West, as the work of
crones who meet secretly at night, indulge in cannibalism and orgiastic
rites with the Devil, and perform black magic. Witchcraft thus defined exists
more in the imagination of contemporaries than in any objective reality. Yet
this stereotype has a long history and has constituted for many cultures a
viable explanation of evil in the world.
