Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01668)

Witchcraft often has a negative connotation associated with
it--usually linking it to sorcery. However, it usually depends upon
the practitioner's intent whether an art is "good" or "bad", because
they all take advantage of similar natural principles. I haven't heard
of an art that was inherently bad in every sense.
