Overall, witchcraft is an ancient practice that dates back to the years before the era of Jesus Christ. It has many forms of names, like sorcery and magic, which are to produce effects beyond the natural powers. Many times, witchcraft has been compared with Satanism, but it has nothing to do, use the same staff that witchcraft but for other purposes, such as slaughtering animals. In witchcraft the pentagram is used as the balance between nature and humans. After Jesus Christ were called witches and sorcerers to all those people who have no Christian faith.
witchcraft in different streams can be recognized: §
Druidism: A restoration of the concepts, rhythms and practices of the ancient Druids. §
Neopaganism: This is a movement of return to paganism [1] that has been adopted in some cases by cutting movements satanic.
WITCHCRAFT IN HISTORY
As we have mentioned above, witchcraft goes back to times before Christ, and since the times of ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt. In the Medieval period and were strongly linked with witchcraft, with whom he adored ritual and all that came from the ancient religion of fertility.
Today we fallen into the opposite point: it denies the reality of satanic activity, and witchcraft. In these times in which we too often fall into an error: relativism [2] , according to which nothing is good or bad, but depends on the opinion of each individual.
WITCH HUNT
The witch-hunt also began in the era of the Romans, and were burned at the stake all sorcerers and witches who practiced magic. In the second half of the thirteenth century established the Papal Inquisition, which began to impose charges of witchcraft. In 1275 was given for the first time in Toulouse's first known case of a witch burned at the stake taken by an inquisitor. Confessed have given birth to a monster that fed on the flesh of children, and had been caused by having sex with evil spirits. In Salzburg, there was a strong tendency to prevent the death penalty on charges of witchcraft, but in the fourteenth century some papal constitutions led the investigators to conduct trials for witchcraft and magic.
in southern France was where most impacted the cruelty of the Inquisition in 1334 indicted 63 people, eight were burned at the fig tree, and two of them, tortured and battered, to ultimately confessed to have attended a coven . The persecution was fierce in all countries, for example, in England and Scotland tried more than 300 people and together with them, a girl of supposedly had some "false witnesses" who accused her of witchcraft.
In America, the festival of Halloween is celebrated on October 31, as the day they are remembered the stories of witches, which are disguised as witches, monsters, etc ... People say is a form of mockery, but this is a pagan desire to fill a void.
In Mexico in the late nineteenth century, two women were burned, and confessed to having assisted the fire with other people to sacrifice and satanic practices, only confessed because of the terrible tortures that were subject, so they had to admit that carrying out such practices.
WITCHCRAFT TODAY
In these modern times, the practice of witchcraft, and with great force. Rome is the city where more names are satanic cults, or at least know with certainty where their existence. There is a Druid Order founded in 1717, called Druid Order, which is identified with Druidism. Native American religions and African Americans are the most use Neopaganism, another kind of witchcraft is very much linked to Satanism and demonic cults. In the Basque Country is a process of trial, the first in the land: Zugarramundi in the village of 300 people convicted and executed eighteen. They were condemned for wrecking boats, also were accused of necrophagy [3] and vampirism. PERSONAL ASSESSMENT
I know that throughout history there have been many injustices around the theme of witchcraft, many death sentences. I have the feeling that people do not realize that witchcraft is a point of suspense, the magic point. The Church gives us to understand that magic, if not from God, the Devil. I can not understand why there can be magic that is neither God nor the Devil. As is well known, there is a struggle between science and religion. Could not be united to find solutions that are more important? My opinion on this issue is that, thanks to our ancestors, we showed that the magic used to be their belief and were not afraid, and after reaching the famous Inquisition, which only served to break up families and leaving children orphaned did not realize that existed before our great Jesus Christ. Throughout the long history of humanity, if we stop to think of the word Inquisition, it seems that all dictators in history could be called inquisitors. Would have thought they can with everything? People believe in what you see in the material. I tried to imagine many Sometimes the reason for the crimes of the Inquisition and the fact that only women judge. Perhaps it had something to do with the myth of Adam and Eve, the woman is the personification of evil and who is tempted by the devil. Adam is only a mere victim of Eva, so that in the Old Testament, the burden of guilt always brings the female figure.
History has taught us that there were witches and wizards, both served the same function and only judged a witch. I have the slight impression that the inquisitors were afraid of being taken away from their God, for without it, human beings would not come forward. I, as a Catholic I am, I know that Jesus was a messenger of God, but if you think about it carefully we can ask the following questions: was not magic, too? Why not called witch? No end to write on this subject, but the final conclusion I leave to the mercy of the readers.
