Witches The Origin of Witches Video

THE WITCHES Official Trailer (2020)

Modern witchcraft considers Satanism to be the "dark side of Christianity" rather than a branch of Wicca: the character of Satan referenced in Satanism exists only in the theology of the three Abrahamic religions, and Satanism arose as, and occupies the role of, a rebellious counterpart to Christianity, in which all is permitted and the self is central.

Christianity can be characterized as having the diametrically opposite views to these. The two major trends are theistic Satanism and atheistic Satanism ; the former venerates Satan as a supernatural patriarchal deity , while the latter views Satan as merely a symbolic embodiment of certain human traits.

Organized groups began to emerge in the mid 20th century, including the Ophite Cultus Satanas [88] and The Church of Satan Sloane also corresponded with his contemporary Gerald Gardner , founder of the Wicca religion, and implied that his views of Satan and the horned god were not necessarily in conflict with Gardner's approach.

However, he did believe that, while "gnosis" referred to knowledge, and " Wicca " referred to wisdom, modern witches had fallen away from the true knowledge, and instead had begun worshipping a fertility god , a reflection of the creator god.

He wrote that "the largest existing body of witches who are true Satanists would be the Yezedees ". Sloane highly recommended the book The Gnostic Religion , and sections of it were sometimes read at ceremonies.

The Satanic Temple , founded in , [93] does not practice magic as a part of their religion. They state "beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world," and the practice of magic does not fit into their belief as such.

For example, they were allowed in the British Royal Navy in , [96] [97] [98] and an appeal was considered in for religious status as a right of prisoners by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Luciferianism , on the other hand, is a belief system [] and does not revere the devil figure or most characteristics typically affixed to Satan.

Rather, Lucifer in this context is seen as one of many morning stars, a symbol of enlightenment, [] independence and human progression. Madeline Montalban was an English witch who adhered to a specific form of Luciferianism which revolved around the veneration of Lucifer, or Lumiel, whom she considered to be a benevolent angelic being who had aided humanity's development.

Within her Order, she emphasised that her followers discover their own personal relationship with the angelic beings, including Lumiel.

The belief in sorcery and its practice seem to have been widespread in the ancient Near East and Nile Valley.

It played a conspicuous role in the cultures of ancient Egypt and in Babylonia. A section from the Code of Hammurabi about B.

If a man has put a spell upon another man and it is not justified, he upon whom the spell is laid shall go to the holy river; into the holy river shall he plunge.

If the holy river overcome him and he is drowned, the man who put the spell upon him shall take possession of his house.

If the holy river declares him innocent and he remains unharmed the man who laid the spell shall be put to death. He that plunged into the river shall take possession of the house of him who laid the spell upon him.

According to the New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia:. In the Holy Scripture references to sorcery are frequent, and the strong condemnations of such practices found there do not seem to be based so much upon the supposition of fraud as upon the abomination of the magic in itself.

Verses such as Deuteronomy —12 and Exodus "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" thus provided scriptural justification for Christian witch hunters in the early modern period see Christian views on magic.

The Bible provides some evidence that these commandments against sorcery were enforced under the Hebrew kings:. And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee , divine unto me by the familiar spirit, [a] and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.

And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?

The New Testament condemns the practice as an abomination, just as the Old Testament had Galatians , compared with Revelation ; ; and Acts ; Although Maimonides vigorously denied the efficacy of all methods of witchcraft, and claimed that the Biblical prohibitions regarding it were precisely to wean the Israelites from practices related to idolatry.

It is acknowledged that while magic exists, it is forbidden to practice it on the basis that it usually involves the worship of other gods.

Rabbis of the Talmud also condemned magic when it produced something other than illusion, giving the example of two men who use magic to pick cucumbers Sanhedrin 67a.

The one who creates the illusion of picking cucumbers should not be condemned, only the one who actually picks the cucumbers through magic.

However, some of the rabbis practiced "magic" themselves or taught the subject. For instance, Rabbah created a person and sent him to Rav Zeira , and Hanina and Hoshaiah studied every Friday together and created a small calf to eat on Shabbat Sanhedrin 67b.

In these cases, the "magic" was seen more as divine miracles i. Judaism does make it clear that Jews shall not try to learn about the ways of witches Book of Deuteronomy 9—10 and that witches are to be put to death Exodus Judaism's most famous reference to a medium is undoubtedly the Witch of Endor whom Saul consults, as recounted in 1 Samuel Divination and magic in Islam encompass a wide range of practices, including black magic , warding off the evil eye , the production of amulets and other magical equipment, evocation , casting lots , and astrology.

The best known reference to magic in Islam is chapter Al-Falaq of the Qur'an , which is known [ by whom? Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn From the mischief of created things; From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads; From the mischief of those who practise secret arts; And from the mischief of the envious one as he practises envy.

Qur'an —5. Also according to the Qur'an: [] []. And they follow that which the devils falsely related against the kingdom of Solomon. Solomon disbelieved not; but the devils disbelieved, teaching mankind sorcery and that which was revealed to the two angels in Babel, Harut and Marut And surely they do know that he who trafficketh therein will have no happy portion in the Hereafter; and surely evil is the price for which they sell their souls, if they but knew.

Qur'an Islam distinguishes between God-given gifts or good magic and black magic. Good supernatural powers are therefore a special gift from God , whereas black magic is achieved through help of jinn and demons.

It is a common belief that jinn can possess a human, [] [] thus requiring exorcism [] derived from the Prophet's sunnah to cast off the jinn or devils from the body of the possessed.

The practice of seeking help from the jinn is prohibited and can lead to possession. The exorcism contains verses of the Qur'an as well as prayers specifically targeted against demons.

The knowledge of which verses of the Qur'an to use in what way is what is considered "magic knowledge". A hadith recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari , states: "Seventy thousand people of my followers will enter Paradise without accounts, and they are those who do not practice Ar-Ruqya and do not see an evil omen in things, and put their trust in their Lord.

Hence he said "and they put their trust in their Lord. Ibn al-Nadim holds, exorcists gain their power by their obedience to God, while sorcerers please the demons by acts of disobedience and sacrifices and they in return do him a favor.

A hadith recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari , narrates that one who has eaten seven Ajwa dates in the morning will not be adversely affected by magic in the course of that day.

Students of the history of religion have linked several magical practises in Islam with pre-Islamic Turkish and East African customs.

Much of what witchcraft represents in Africa has been susceptible to misunderstandings and confusion, thanks in no small part to a tendency among western scholars since the time of the now largely discredited Margaret Murray to approach the subject through a comparative lens vis-a-vis European witchcraft.

Complimentary remarks about witchcraft by a native Congolese initiate: "From witchcraft They could also gather the power of animals into their hands If we could make use of these kinds of witchcraft, our country would rapidly progress in knowledge of every kind.

In eastern Cameroon, the term used for witchcraft among the Maka is djambe [] and refers to a force inside a person; its powers may make the proprietor more vulnerable.

It encompasses the occult, the transformative, killing and healing. Every year, hundreds of people in the Central African Republic are convicted of witchcraft.

As of [update] , between 25, and 50, children in Kinshasa , Democratic Republic of the Congo , had been accused of witchcraft and thrown out of their homes.

Other pastors and Christian activists strongly oppose such accusations and try to rescue children from their unscrupulous colleagues.

In April , in Kinshasa, the police arrested 14 suspected victims of penis snatching and sorcerers accused of using black magic or witchcraft to steal make disappear or shrink men's penises to extort cash for cure, amid a wave of panic.

According to one study, the belief in magical warfare technologies such as "bulletproofing" in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo serves a group-level function, as it increases group efficiency in warfare, even if it is suboptimal at the individual level.

In Ghana , women are often accused of witchcraft and attacked by neighbours. Arrests were made in an effort to avoid bloodshed seen in Ghana a decade ago, when 12 alleged penis snatchers were beaten to death by mobs.

For example, the belief that a sorcerer has "stolen" a man's penis functions as an anxiety-reduction mechanism for men suffering from impotence while simultaneously providing an explanation that is consistent with African cultural beliefs rather than appealing to Western scientific notions that are tainted by the history of colonialism at least for many Africans.

It was reported that a mob in Kenya had burnt to death at least 11 people accused of witchcraft in In Malawi it is also common practice to accuse children of witchcraft and many children have been abandoned, abused and even killed as a result.

As in other African countries both African traditional healers and their Christian counterparts are trying to make a living out of exorcising children and are actively involved in pointing out children as witches.

According to William Kamkwamba , witches and wizards are afraid of money, which they consider a rival evil. Any contact with cash will snap their spell and leave the wizard naked and confused.

So placing cash, such as kwacha around a room or bed mat will protect the resident from their malevolent spells. In Nigeria , several Pentecostal pastors have mixed their evangelical brand of Christianity with African beliefs in witchcraft to benefit from the lucrative witch finding and exorcism business—which in the past was the exclusive domain of the so-called witch doctor or traditional healers.

These pastors have been involved in the torturing and even killing of children accused of witchcraft. Churches are very numerous in Nigeria, and competition for congregations is hard.

Some pastors attempt to establish a reputation for spiritual power by "detecting" child witches, usually following a death or loss of a job within a family, or an accusation of financial fraud against the pastor.

In the course of "exorcisms", accused children may be starved, beaten, mutilated, set on fire, forced to consume acid or cement, or buried alive.

While some church leaders and Christian activists have spoken out strongly against these abuses, many Nigerian churches are involved in the abuse, although church administrations deny knowledge of it.

Among the Mende of Sierra Leone , trial and conviction for witchcraft has a beneficial effect for those convicted.

Six months later all of the people Instead of such old and widowed people being left helpless or as in Western society institutionalized in old people's homes, these were reintegrated into society and left secure in their old age Old people are 'suitable' candidates for this kind of accusation in the sense that they are isolated and vulnerable, and they are 'suitable' candidates for 'social security' for precisely the same reasons.

In Tanzania in , President Kikwete publicly condemned witchdoctors for killing albinos for their body parts, which are thought to bring good luck.

Native to the Zulu people, witches called sangoma protect people against evil spirits. They usual train for about five to seven years. In the cities, this training could take only several months.

Another type of witch are the inyanga, who are actual witch doctors that heal people with plant and animal parts. This is a job that is passed on to future generations.

Sorcery usually involves reference to the almasola or homber chiki , a devil-like entity. Poulina, Trevor L. Hoek of the Parnassia Psychiatric Institute.

In , Springfield, Massachusetts , experienced America's first accusations of witchcraft when husband and wife Hugh and Mary Parsons accused each other of witchcraft.

At America's first witch trial , Hugh was found innocent, while Mary was acquitted of witchcraft but sentenced to be hanged for the death of her child.

She died in prison. Thirteen women and two men were executed in a witch-hunt that lasted throughout New England from — These witch trials were the most famous in British North America and took place in the coastal settlements near Salem, Massachusetts.

Prior to the witch trials, nearly men and women had been suspected of partaking in witchcraft, and 19 of these people were hanged, and one was "pressed to death".

Despite being generally known as the "Salem" witch trials, the preliminary hearings in were conducted in a variety of towns across the province: Salem Village now Danvers , Salem Town , Ipswich , and Andover.

The historical record of Dyer is scant as all official records were burned in a courthouse fire, though the county courthouse has on display the rock where her frozen body was found.

A letter from a colonist of the period describes her in most unfavourable terms. A local road is named after Dyer, where her homestead was said to have been.

Many local families have their own version of the Moll Dyer affair, and her name is spoken with care in the rural southern counties. The yee naaldlooshii is the type of witch known in English as a " skin-walker ".

They are believed to take the forms of animals in order to travel in secret and do harm to the innocent. The powder is used by witches to curse their victims.

Traditional Navajos do usually hesitate to discuss things like witches and witchcraft with non-Navajos. Witchcraft was an important part of the social and cultural history of late-Colonial Mexico, during the Mexican Inquisition.

Spanish Inquisitors viewed witchcraft as a problem that could be cured simply through confession. Yet, as anthropologist Ruth Behar writes, witchcraft, not only in Mexico but in Latin America in general, was a "conjecture of sexuality, witchcraft, and religion, in which Spanish, indigenous, and African cultures converged.

Belief in the supernatural is strong in all parts of India , and lynchings for witchcraft are reported in the press from time to time.

Apart from other types of Violence against women in Nepal , the malpractice of abusing women in the name of witchcraft is also really prominent.

According to the statistics in , there was a total of 69 reported cases of abuse to women due to accusation of performing witchcraft.

The perpetrators of this malpractice are usually neighbors, so-called witch doctors and family members. According to the statistics by INSEC, [] the age group of women who fall victims to the witchcraft violence in Nepal is 20— In Japanese folklore, the most common types of witch can be separated into two categories: those who employ snakes as familiars, and those who employ foxes.

Differing regional beliefs set those who use foxes into two separate types: the kitsune-mochi , and the tsukimono-suji. The first of these, the kitsune-mochi , is a solitary figure who gains his fox familiar by bribing it with its favourite foods.

The kitsune-mochi then strikes up a deal with the fox, typically promising food and daily care in return for the fox's magical services.

The fox of Japanese folklore is a powerful trickster in and of itself, imbued with powers of shape changing, possession, and illusion.

These creatures can be either nefarious; disguising themselves as women in order to trap men, or they can be benign forces as in the story of "The Grateful foxes".

Philippine witches are the users of black magic and related practices from the Philippines. They include a variety of different kinds of people with differing occupations and cultural connotations which depend on the ethnic group they are associated with.

They are completely different from the Western notion of what a witch is, as each ethnic group has their own definition and practices attributed to witches.

The curses and other magics of witches are often blocked, countered, cured, or lifted by Philippine shamans associated with the indigenous Philippine folk religions.

Saudi Arabia continues to use the death penalty for sorcery and witchcraft. Saudi authorities also pronounced the death penalty on a Lebanese television presenter, Ali Hussain Sibat , while he was performing the hajj Islamic pilgrimage in the country.

In December , she was beheaded. In June , Yahoo reported: "The Islamic State group has beheaded two women in Syria on accusations of "sorcery", the first such executions of female civilians in Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Tuesday.

An expedition sent to what is now the Xinjiang region of western China by the PBS documentary series Nova found a fully clothed female Tocharian mummy wearing a black conical hat of the type now associated with witches in Europe in the storage area of a small local museum, indicative of an Indo-European priestess.

Witchcraft in Europe between — was believed to be a combination of sorcery and heresy. While sorcery attempts to produce negative supernatural effects through formulas and rituals, heresy is the Christian contribution to witchcraft in which an individual makes a pact with the Devil.

In addition, heresy denies witches the recognition of important Christian values such as baptism, salvation, Christ and sacraments.

In Early Modern European tradition, witches were stereotypically, though not exclusively, women. The peak years of witch-hunts in southwest Germany were from to It was commonly believed that individuals with power and prestige were involved in acts of witchcraft and even cannibalism.

Though it is not likely that these individuals were actually involved in these practices, they were most likely associated due to Europe's involvement in things like the slave trade, which negatively affected the lives of many individuals in the Atlantic World throughout the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries.

Early converts to Christianity looked to Christian clergy to work magic more effectively than the old methods under Roman paganism, and Christianity provided a methodology involving saints and relics, similar to the gods and amulets of the Pagan world.

As Christianity became the dominant religion in Europe, its concern with magic lessened. The Protestant Christian explanation for witchcraft, such as those typified in the confessions of the Pendle witches , commonly involves a diabolical pact or at least an appeal to the intervention of the spirits of evil.

The witches or wizards engaged in such practices were alleged to reject Jesus and the sacraments ; observe " the witches' sabbath " performing infernal rites that often parodied the Mass or other sacraments of the Church ; pay Divine honour to the Prince of Darkness ; and, in return, receive from him preternatural powers.

It was a folkloric belief that a Devil's Mark, like the brand on cattle, was placed upon a witch's skin by the devil to signify that this pact had been made.

In the north of England, the superstition lingers to an almost inconceivable extent. Lancashire abounds with witch-doctors, a set of quacks, who pretend to cure diseases inflicted by the devil The witch-doctor alluded to is better known by the name of the cunning man, and has a large practice in the counties of Lincoln and Nottingham.

Historians Keith Thomas and his student Alan Macfarlane study witchcraft by combining historical research with concepts drawn from anthropology.

Older women were the favorite targets because they were marginal, dependent members of the community and therefore more likely to arouse feelings of both hostility and guilt, and less likely to have defenders of importance inside the community.

Witchcraft accusations were the village's reaction to the breakdown of its internal community, coupled with the emergence of a newer set of values that was generating psychic stress.

In Wales, fear of witchcraft mounted around the year There was a growing alarm of women's magic as a weapon aimed against the state and church.

The Church made greater efforts to enforce the canon law of marriage, especially in Wales where tradition allowed a wider range of sexual partnerships.

There was a political dimension as well, as accusations of witchcraft were levied against the enemies of Henry VII, who was exerting more and more control over Wales.

The records of the Courts of Great Sessions for Wales, — show that Welsh custom was more important than English law. Custom provided a framework of responding to witches and witchcraft in such a way that interpersonal and communal harmony was maintained, Showing to regard to the importance of honour, social place and cultural status.

Even when found guilty, execution did not occur. Becoming king in , James I Brought to England and Scotland continental explanations of witchcraft.

His goal was to divert suspicion away from male homosociality among the elite, and focus fear on female communities and large gatherings of women.

He thought they threatened his political power so he laid the foundation for witchcraft and occultism policies, especially in Scotland.

The point was that a widespread belief in the conspiracy of witches and a witches' Sabbath with the devil deprived women of political influence.

Occult power was supposedly a womanly trait because women were weaker and more susceptible to the devil.

In Helen Duncan was the last person in Britain to be imprisoned for fraudulently claiming to be a witch. There have even been child murders associated with witchcraft beliefs.

The problem is particularly serious among immigrant or former immigrant communities of African origin but other communities, such as those of Asian origin are also involved.

Step children and children seen as different for a wide range of reasons are particularly at risk of witchcraft accusations.

Lack of awareness among social workers, teachers and other professionals dealing with at risk children hinders efforts to combat the problem.

The Metropolitan Police said there had been 60 crimes linked to faith in London so far [in ]. It saw reports double from 23 in to 46 in Half of UK police forces do not record such cases and many local authorities are also unable to provide figures.

The NSPCC said authorities "need to ensure they are able to spot the signs of this particular brand of abuse". London is unique in having a police team, Project Violet, dedicated to this type of abuse.

Its figures relate to crime reports where officers have flagged a case as involving abuse linked to faith or belief.

Many of the cases involve children. An NSPCC spokesman said: "While the number of child abuse cases involving witchcraft is relatively small, they often include horrifying levels of cruelty.

There is a 'money making scam' involved. Pastors accuse a child of being a witch and later the family pays for exorcism. A particularly rich source of information about witchcraft in Italy before the outbreak of the Great Witch Hunts of the Renaissance are the sermons of Franciscan popular preacher, Bernardino of Siena — , who saw the issue as one of the most pressing moral and social challenges of his day and thus preached many a sermon on the subject, inspiring many local governments to take actions against what he called "servants of the Devil.

In the 16th century, Italy had a high portion of witchcraft trials involving love magic. Professional prostitutes were considered experts in love and therefore knew how to make love potions and cast love related spells.

She was also not seen as a model citizen because her husband was in Venice. From the 16thth centuries, the Catholic Church enforced moral discipline throughout Italy.
