Sorcery

Sorcery refers to the practice of utilizing supernatural or mystical powers to influence events or outcomes. It often involves rituals, spells, or incantations performed by individuals—called sorcerers or witches—believed to harness unseen energies or forces. While historically linked to cultural and spiritual traditions worldwide, sorcery is typically regarded as a form of folk or esoteric practice, distinct from mainstream religion or science. Its purpose can range from healing to protection or manipulation, depending on cultural context. In modern times, it is often viewed as symbolic or cultural, though some communities still regard it as a genuine spiritual craft.
