"Wishcraft" ....America itself had this love affair with popular positive portrayals of witchcraft back in the late 50's & early 1960's with this Frank Sinatra song kind of captures that human wish also popularized in the new powerful medium= TV series of "I Dream of Jeannie or "Bewitched" , just modernized versions of that same ancient strong tendency for all human beings to seek escape from the daily strife & living plight thru employment of sympathetic magic , ritual & invisble powerful forces .

( was also was the rat race mentality , dawning of the age of fast food and modern convenience so the deep mystical aspects of magic ritual become common , harmless snapping of fingers , "presto"...but life still vast competition )

As time goes on and man's power & civilizations grow in stature so does his reach of imagination , what was originally compartmentalized earlier dieties , eventually get transposed , elevated all rolled into ONE supreme version and we we're all created in "His" image . We all know that Yaweh & Allah are male gods but at least there are some theologians that can see beyond that simplemindness that such a being would transcend all forms by very definition of "spirit" residing in all forms .

"Witchcraft" ...the mystery of forces "believed" to be greater than ourselves and of course the need for those to "interpret" what is ontopic or not , like pope gregy here ! ;o)
