What is witchcraft?

A witch drawing in black and white, the witch has a pointy hat, a black dress and a knife in her right hand, she is looking down on and old book, she has a candle in her left hand.

Firstly, what exactly is it? Most of us imagine a man or woman in a pointy hat looking at dusty old books and making up magic potions. That is not the core definition of witchcraft.

Witchcraft, above anything else, is the imposition of one being’s character, desires or opinions over another person’s free will in opposition to the latter’s complete freedom. It is the power of agreement imposed upon another person. It is coercion, manipulation or imposition of one person’s free will over another’s in order to obtain agreement on an subject, issue, opinion or action.

The premise of complete freedom was given to us by God himself when he said Christ has given us freedom for freedom itself, not to impose an agenda, opinion, doctrine or way of life, but so that we could be truely free to make our own choices and decisions in life.

So our foundation in Christ is complete freedom. Imagine being able to fly, you can go up, down, left, right, forwards or backwards; that is the spiritual position Christ puts us in when we accept Him and He says “I set you free now go for it, try something”.

Gateways protect entrances from unwanted or hostile influences and allow friendly or desired influences in. They also largely represent what comes out of a community to the outside world. Continue reading “Authority and gateways”
