Witchcraft Today

In many cultures to this day, especially if there is a low level of education, there is a witch doctor or a shaman who claims to have a nexus with the spirit world from where he can invoke spirits and heal himself and others. Even in advanced countries there are a lot many practicing witches, wiccans, warlocks, wizards and paganists all over the world today, dispelling the stereotyped images of practitioners of witchcraft. An ever increasing demand for online Love spells, Easy love spells, Relationship rescue spells, Money spells, Voodoo love spells, Voodoo dolls, among many other spells are processed through the popular Californian Astrology Association (Calastrology).


Modern day witches are a far cry from Macbeth's "secret, black and midnight hags" who met in "thunder, lightning or rain...when the hurlyburly's done when the battle's lost and won," to brew a magic concoction with "eye of newt, toe of frog, wool of bat, tongue of dog, adder's fork and blind worm's sting, liver of blaspheming Jew, gall of goat, nose of Turk and Tartar's lips, finger of birth-strangled babe" and a lot more obscenities "for a charm of powerful trouble."
