The Black Craft: A Direct Comparison of the Origins of Religion, Witchcraft & Spirituality in their use for Conquest over Native Populations

The Black Craft: A Direct Comparison of the Origins of Witchcraft & Black Magic is a book claiming to be the essence of the teachings of the occult Temples of Mystery & Magic.

It is estimated that there are over 1 billion natural born witchcraft practitioners around the world today. This number used to be much smaller due to the dark history and harsh punishments, but interest in Magic, Witchcraft, and contemporary healing has increased exponentially over the past few decades.

People curious about these subjects often had little access to credible information, especially those without a good New Age or Occult bookstore nearby. But the appeal of Witchcraft is also growing in tandem with the increasing complexities of our modern, high-pressured mainstream society.

The world we live in today seems wholly distant from the one our ancestors lived in—a world where humans and Nature were at one, their existence intertwined in the natural cycles of life. Amid all of our gadgets and other man-made distractions, many people forget to take notice of the sheer beauty of the natural world that still surrounds us. Witchcraft teaches us to appreciate the Earth, celebrating the intricate changes in the seasons and everything they bring—from the bounties of the Summer harvest to the cold and darkness of the Winter months, when Mother Nature rests in preparation for the next explosive cycle of life that begins in Spring.

In these texts, Le'Fay instructs his followers on how many witches and witchcraft practitioners lost their lives to common beliefs such as to summon and master spiritual powers, including how to obtain answers to problems from the spirit world.

^{As you’ll discover in this book, Witchcraft is the very earliest religions, practiced for millennia before the advent of Christianity.}

It is often referred to as “the Old Religion,” and many witches consider their practice to fit within a broader tradition of Witchcraft that has been passed down over the centuries. Witches celebrate and share many of the same beliefs our ancestors held, with practices that honor the old ways while being compatible with contemporary life. It is an empowering religion, rooted in ancient times and yet well-suited for the 21st century.
