Folk Magic, Witchcraft, & Christianity

Here's a long-awaited video discussing:

- the elements of Christianity and Catholicism in folk magic
- some resources on Italian folk magic and more information on Catholicism & Christianity in Witchcraft
- why we don't see folk practitioners use the term "witchcraft" historically
- how I use Catholic tools in my practice as an Italian folk practitioner.

A Note via 11:55:
I am aware that the Bible is regarded as a Holy Text, while Mythology is regarded as something open to interpretation and just that - mythology. As a folk witch, I treat the Bible kind of like a mythological text, and am aware that not everyone may do the same. I used the example of mythos vs Bible to show that witches who are pagan rarely take mythology literally but witches outside of Christianity & Catholicism taking verses from the Bible and throwing it into the face of Christian/Catholic witches without the understanding that some Christians & Catholics (especially witches) may not follow the Bible to a tee, like we do with our mythology.

My point/opinion is mostly that I don't think that people should be throwing other people's religious texts or mythologies into other people's faces to prove a point when they are not a part of it. Feel free to disagree.
