Witchcraft

Relating to the last paragraph of definition two, the intent of the practioner of the Magickal Arts defines so-called White (used for good)Magick from Black (used for evil) Magick. In Christianity, the church warns against danger that is connected to any practioner of Magick. Unlike our comic book heroes, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutly. If this aphorism is so, none can be trusted to use his macickal powers for good only. Jesus is quoted in the gospels as saying, (in response to someone calling him "Good master") "Why do you call me good? There is none good but God. The idea that the practioner of white magick can resist temptations to meddle in human lives is not safe. Yet the learned usage of herbs and roots and other folk remedies for healing is not magick but more of the art of the Shauman. But all Magick is self-applied power to make things happen, and to say that "I will only use my powers for good" is to speak from the heart of delusion.
