HUMAN LIFE IN THE AMERICAS SHOW HUGH VARIETY, WITH SHAMANIC PRACTICES IN VARIOUS PLACES, THESE MAY HAVE AN ULTIMATE HISTORICAL ROOT IN HATTI, THE HOMELAND OF AMERICAN HAITIAN  POPULATIONS. WHERE ALL SPIRITS, AND ENTITIES OF SOULS  LIVED HARMONIOUSLY WITH  LIVING  PEOPLE. IN MANY AREAS VOODOO BELIEFS  INFLUENCES AND SHAPED LIFE  HERE ON EARTH, LEADING TO CLOSE OBSERVATION AND OBSERVANCE. IN THE STATE. SOCIETIES OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA ASPECTS OF ORGANIZED RELIGION EVOLVED, WITH SOME NAMED DEITIES, BUT ALSO WITH MUCH ROOM FOR HUMAN PARTICIPATION.

MAGIC AS A DOMINANT FORCE IN HATTI ALSO INCLUDING THE MIDDLE EAST AND EGYPT BEFORE THE BRONZE AGE, PREHISTORIC EUROPE AND STEPPE, ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIA, NORTH AMERICA, AND MUCH OF SOUTH AMERICA. IN THESE AREAS MAGICAL PRACTICES FORMED  BASIS  IN WHICH ALL OTHER HUMAN CUSTOMS EXISTED. IN SOME AREAS, SUCH  ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIA AND REGIONS OF THE AMERICAS THIS REMAINED THE SITUATION UNTIL EUROPEAN COLONIALISM.. THERE WAS LITTLE ORGANIZED RELIGION THAT WE CAN RECOGNIZE AND HAVE A CLEAR  UNDERSTANDINGS OF MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND FORCES HAS BEEN FORMALIZED INTO ANYTHING APPROACHING SCIENCE.

HOODOO AFRICAN AMERICAN RELIGION, DERIVED FROM THE AFRICAN HATTIAN RILIGION VUUDUU NOT THE SAME JUST A MIMIC OF OUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS PASSED OVER FROM THE FRENCH QUARTER, LA A BLOODLINE THAT WAS BREAD TO PRUDUCE LIGITMATE HEIRS FOR FRENC NOBLEMEN, WHO'S CHRILDREN WERE OF NOBLE BLOOD AND FREED WOMEN OF COLOR, (the lighter the color the better) SO THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO STAKE CLAIM AS OWNER OF LAND AND SLAVE IN AMERICA, LOUISANNA WAS BROUGHT AND PAID FOR FOR THE SLAVES OF, AND WAS TAKEN BACK WITH THIS PRACTICE, AND BY DOING SO TOOK THE SECRET  KNOWLEDGE THAT WE HELD PRETAING TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN The hybrid was evident in Marie Laveau, a devout Catholic who attended Mass at St. Louis Cathedral and was a close friend of the cathedral’s priest, Pere Antoine.

When Knights Fall: The Widow Paris 

Voodoo came to New Orleans in the early 1700s, through slaves brought from Africa’s western “slave coast.” Like so many things New Orleans, Voodoo was then infused with the city’s dominant religion, Catholicism, and became a Voodoo-Catholicism hybrid sometimes referred to as New Orleans Voodoo. In New Orleans, for instance, Legba, the Voodoo deity who controls the gates to the spirit world, becomes St. Peter, who holds the keys to the gates of heaven.

JEWISH,GREEK AND ROMAN MAGIC (C.1000 BCE-1000 CE)

THE IDEA OF MIRACLES HAS COMPLICATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAGIC AND RELIGION FOR THE LAST 3000 YEARS OR MOREL.WITHIN JEWISH AND ARABIC TRADITIONS, RELIGIOUS FIGURES FROM MOSES TO JESUS AND MUHAMMED WORKED MIRACES, WHICH BECAME A BASIS FOR THEIR POWER, FEEDING THEN INTO CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM. MEANINGS OF THE WORD MIRACLE RANGE VETWEEN THE WONDROUS AND THE UNBELIEVABLE, CONTAINING ALWAYS THE NOTION THA A MIRACLE GOES BEYOND THE NORMAL WORKINGS OF THE  WORLD, DERIVING FROM THE INFLUENCE OF SOME DIVINE OR MAGICAL POWER, MOSES THE PROPHETS ELIJAH AND ELISHA, AS WEL AS JESUS AND MUHAMMED ALL PERFORMED MIRACLES OF SIMILAR TYPES, THEY EXORCISED DEMONS, HEALED THE SICK AND RAISED THE DEAD CONFOUNDED THEIR ENEMIES IN VARIOUS WAYS AND CAUSED DRAMATIC CHANGES IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD, SUCH AS PARTING THE RED SEA OR WALKING ON WATERS. 

MAYBE SOME ELEMENTS OF THE OLDER BELIEF SYSTEMS CLUNG TO MIRACULOUS ACTS GIVING THEM ANCIENT POWER IN THIS NEW WORLD MUCH LATER WHEN PROTESTANTISM CONFRONTED CATHOLIC CHRISTINANITY ITS MAJOR CRITICISM WAS THAT THE OLDER CHURCH WAS MAGICAL . BELIEFS THAT SUBSTANCES COULD BE TRANSFORMED OR GIVEN THE POWER TO PROTECT PEOPLE WERE THOUGHT ILLEGITIMATE, PERHAPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENERGIES OF DEMONS AS MUCH AS WITH GOD. EARLY MODERN  NEGATIVE EVALUATIONS OF MAGIC AND MIRACLES HAVE MADE IT HARDER TO WRITE HISTORIES OF EARLIER PERIODS IN WAYS THAT SHOW MAGIC WAS OFTEN A POSITIVE QUALITY AND CERTAINLY A CONSTANT PRESENCE IN JEWISH, GREEK, AND ROMAN LIFE 

MAGIC WAS ACCEPTED WITHOUT EXCEPTION BY ALL STRATA OF SOCIETY, BUT ITS PRACTICE REQUIRED CONSISERAVLE SPECIALIST MAGICAL KNOWLEDGE AMATER DABBLING WITH SUCH POWERS WAS GENERALLY DIASTROUS. IN THE OFFICIAL RHETORIC OF THESE TIMES MAGIC IS A POWERFUL BUT AMBIGUOUS QUALITY SOMETIMES PRACTISED BY SPECIALISTS OR CHARISMATIC INDIVIDUALS AND ALSO BY PRIESTS AND RABBIS DRAWING ON RELIGIOIUS LORE. MAGIC IS INTIMATELY BOUND UP WITH RELIGION FOR GREEKS AND ROMANS, SOMEWHAT MORE REMOVED FOR JEWS IT IS BY TURNS VALUED CONTESTED DEBATED AND DEEMED DANGEROUS, IT IS A VARIABLE QUALITY BUT STILL CENTRAL TO SOCIAL AND CULTURAL FORCES AS WELL AS BEING A GOOD DIAGNOSTIC OF THEM.

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

 DURING THE TIME THAT GOD PERFORMED HIS MIRACLE THOUGH MOSES UP UNTIL THE DAYS OF THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS, I HAVE OFTER WONDERED WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF ONE BEING THE ACT OF GOD AND THE OTHER THE ACT OF WITCHCRAFT. IF GOD WHERE IN YOUR PRESENT AT THIS VERY MOMENT AND HE CHANGE WATER INTO WINE OR RAISE SOMEONE FROM THE DEAD, WOULD YOU SAY MAGIC OR MIRACLE , I WOULD HAVE TO SAVE THAT THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME. ITS ONLY THAT ONE HAS THE APPROVAL  THE RELIGOUS COMMUNITY AND THE OTHER IS SHUND AS BEING DEMONIC, 

IN THE LATE FIFTEENTH CENTURIES THREE EVENTS IN EUROPEAN HISTORY CAN BE EXPLORED THROUGH STORIES OF GRIMOIRES DUE TO THE DEVELOPEMENT OF PRINTED WORKS. THE PROTESTANT AND THE CATHOLOIC REFORMATIONS AND THE WITCH TRAILS, FOR SOME OF THESE SATAN IS THE CAUSE OF THESE EVENTS , BEING DECRIBED AS THE BLACK ARTS.

THE SUCCESS OF CONTRADITORY THOUGHT ON THIS SUBJECT WAS LARGELY DUE TO THE POWER OF THE PRINTED "WORD", AND WITH MARTIN LUTHER BEING ONE OF THE PUBLISHED WORKS IN THIS DURING THIS TIME.

IT WAS DEMONOLOGICAL BOOKS THE SPREAD THE IDEAS AND FEARS OF THIS DIABLIC WITCHCRAFT AND DEVIL WORHSIPPING CONSPIRACY, AND LIKE I HAVE STATED BEFORE IN AN EARLY BLOG OF MY THE FIRST BOOK {BIBLE} THE WAS WRITTEN BY KING JAMES WAS THE BOOK OF DEMONOLOGY THE TRANSCIPTS OF MOSES BEING PUT ON TRIAL FOR THE MIRECALS HE PERFORMED.

LAWS AGAINST WITCHCRAFT ACROSS THE WORLD DURING THIS TIMEWAS NOT JUST CONCERNED WITH HARMFUL WITCHES , ALL MAGIC WHETHR GOOD OR BAD WAS SAID TO BE A TOOL OF THE DEVIL.PROTESTANT AND CATHOLIC ASSERTED THAT GOOD WITCHES OR CUNNING-FOLK IN OTHER WORDS THOSE WHO PRACTISED MAGIC TO HELP PEOPLE BY REMOVING SPELLS, IS THIS STILL THE ACT OF MAGIC , OR MYBE TO THEM SO CALL MIRACLE, THESE WERE CONCERED TO BE WHITE WITCHES

NOW ON THE SUBJECT OF NATURAL MAGIC AND ITS PRACTITIONERS WERE CAUGHT UP IN AUTHORITARIAN VIEW THAT ALL MAGIC WITCHCRAFT, NATURAL MAGIC, CELESTIAL MAGIC OR SPIRIT CONJURATION WAS DEMONIC IN ORIGIN ALSO IN INTENT. IT IS THESE MISREPRESENTED REPUTATIONS OF MAGIC THAT HAS LEAD MY RELIGON HATTIAN VUUDUU UNDER SUCH SCRUTINY AND RIDICULE AND MANY OF THIS FAITH HESITATE TO PATRICE THERE ROOTED BELEIFS
