Sorcery
Is (interchanged with witchcraft); The French 'sors' refers to casting spells or the use of charms to influence love, fertility, luck, health and wealth.
The French word for 'witch' is 'sorcier.' In many societies, the assumption is made that these spells have an evil purpose and the sorcerers cast spells against others for whom they have an unjustified hatred.
*Counter-sorcerers, witch doctors or medicine men may be sought out to cast protective spells against the evil spells of another sorcerer, or to break evil spells.
*Sorcery is low magic; it is not a set of beliefs, like high magic, but is mechanistic and intuitive.
Some societies still make distinctions between sorcery and witchcraft. Many African tribes view witchcraft as thoroughly evil, while sorcery is close to religion.
*The Navajo associate witchcraft with death and the dead and sorcery with enchantment by spells; sorcerers, however, also kill others and participate in witches' sabbats.
