- Cadılık Nedir?
"Cadılık" kavramı kültürel bağlamlarda olumlu ya da olumsuz anlamlar içerebilir. Örneğin Eski Hristiyan Avrupa'da cadılar şeytanî güçlerle ve şeytanla ilişkilendirilirlerken, modern çağda, günümüzde, cadılar kendilerini iyilikçi ve ahlak olarak da olumlu insanlar olarak tanımlamakta, diğer insanlarca da böyle tanınmaktadırlar.
Sometimes witchcraft is used to refer, broadly, to the practice of indigenous magic, and has a connotation similar to shamanism. Depending on the values of the community, witchcraft in this sense may be regarded with varying degrees of respect or suspicion, or with ambivalence, being neither intrinsically good nor evil. Members of some religions have applied the term witchcraft in a pejorative sense to refer to all magical or ritual practices other than those sanctioned by their own doctrines - although this has become less common, at least in the Western world. According to some religious doctrines, all forms of magic are labelled witchcraft, and are either proscribed or treated as superstitious. Such religions consider their own ritual practices to be not at all magical, but rather simply variations of prayer.
In the modern Western world, witchcraft accusations have often accompanied the Satanic Ritual Abuse hysteria. Such accusations are a counterpart to blood libel of various kinds, which may be found throughout history across the globe.	Bu sayfa hakkında yorum ekle:
