Witchcraft exists in may
forms in many societies.Voodoo, Taoist, socery, Shamanism-these are all
part of the same process whereby deeds are committed through supernatural
means.However, "witchcraft" as ageneral definition has been combined with
that Satan worship and harmful black magic.It is assumed to be diabolical,
evil and destructive.
Hence witches heve been
blamed in the past for all sorts of misfortunes, ranging from the untimely
death of one's pet to freaky weather.The witch-hunts that took place in
the fifteenth century are but examples of the amount of hatred and fear
ordinary people felt against witches.
In Eastern sociaties, suoernatural
activities do not pocess the stigma they suffer in the West, and are not
regarded as taboo.they are not labelled as evil by virtue of their being
un-Chirstian.Rather, good magic that does good receive positive response
and evil magic does evil in condemmed.
The Malay bomoh is an equivalent
of the sorcerer in our region, as are the Chinese Taoist, the medicinal
Buddisht monk, the temple medium, etc.It is interesting to know that their
methods is as intersting as their heritage.
