Abstract:
Witchcraft or black magic is among the ancient mystical ritual in the world. It involves the engagement of jinn and demons with specific purposes. Based on literature, there were cases of human sacrifice in witchcraft ritual. This study specifically seeks to explore the rituals of demonic worship and human sacrifice in witchcraft. This study applies library research particularly by analyzing history and legal background of the issue.

In this article I analyse the handling of uncertainty in dance improvisation performance. I focus on the sources of uncertainty together with techniques used to manage it. I also show that magic practices are integrated among these techniques and that all the described techniques are pragmatic and reasonable, though they do not provide guaranteed effects. This leads to an analysis of the possible role of belief in ritual practice. The efficiency of ritualist magic in handling uncertainty is ascribed to its ability to create an intimately supportive atmosphere of mutual reliability. Belief rega

Abstract:
Abstract The article explores the interface of prophecy and shamanhood from the point of view of intermediation, divination, and magic; performance and cosmology; gender; and social status. The most significant thing in common between prophets and shamans is the role of an intermediary and the superhuman authority ascribed to their activity. Other similarities include the performance in an altered state of consciousness, gender-inclusiveness, as well as some ritual roles and forms of social recognition. The action of the prophets rarely reaches beyond the transmission of the divine word, where

Introduction. Bashkir wedding is one of the most striking forms of traditional culture. Over centuries of evolution, a complex set of ideological and functional related ritual songs, actions, myths and rituals has formed as an integral festive and theatrical performance. This surprisingly unique performance (drama) reflects the worldview of the people, their poetic and musical culture, including peculiarities of social, everyday and social development. The ideology of caring for the welfare of the family and happy family future has been developed and vividly captured in the wedding rituals. Ge

Greek sphagia (“blood victims”) are the objects of a category of ritual killing which emphasizes the shedding of blood. Using cognitive theory, I will attempt to identify the conceptual models that allow practitioners of ritual sphage to infer that their methods are efficacious. In the agentive model of ritual sphage, blood is used to facilitate interaction or reciprocity with an intentional agent (typically a god or hero). In the mechanistic model, blood is used to achieve a result automatically, through the Laws of Similarity and/or Contact (that is, through sympathetic magic). Dual activati

This chapter discusses the world of ancient Greco-Roman magic. When approaching the evidence from the ancient Greco-Roman world for ritualized action, one must analyze not only what kind of evidence one is examining but also what sort of action is depicted in the evidence. One must also analyze who is performing it and for whom, where and when it is performed, why it is being performed, and how the performance works. In this study, the chapters are organized primarily by what sort of practice is involved, but the analysis probes each of the other factors as well to determine when a ritualized

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on ancient ideas of theurgy. From the uses of the term in the ancient evidence, “theurgy” may be defined as the art or practice of ritually creating a connection between the mortal, material world that is before one's eyes and the unseen, immortal world of the gods. Such a practice may be a lifelong assimilation of the individual soul to the divine, or it may be a momentary activation of the connection with divine power to achieve some more immediate end on earth.

Abstract The basic question of this book has been: Why are people superstitious? Or, given that we observe many people to be superstitious, how do they become so? As we have seen, the answer is not simple. There are many factors that can contribute to the acquisition and maintenance of superstition. Not all of them apply to any particular individual, but each can lead us to hold beliefs or engage in acts that reflect a magical view of the world. Given the great number of psychological influences we have encountered-and there are undoubtedly others that have yet to be discovered and researched-

This chapter applies to Indian and Greek religion the typology of religious movements created by Roy Wallis: world-affirming, world-rejecting, and world accommodating religions. World-affirming religion is exemplifed in Greece by polis religion and the practice of magic, in India by karma (action), in which the world is controlled by ritual. World-rejecting religion is exemplified in both cultures by the attempt to find a supreme principle behind the world of appearances. World-accommodating religion is exemplified by the theurgy of Iamblichus and (much earlier) the individual religiosity of S

The chapter uncovers the relevance of a key point. Religion is a social kind in history, sociology, and anthropology but not in cognitive science. Nor is it a natural kind in the latter.

Abstract:
To engage in ritual is to adopt a unique stance on behaviour—one that forfeits all hope of ever discovering a causal structure in the actions involved. Rituals are causally opaque not only in a provisional or potentially resolvable way but irretrievably so. Psychologists describe the copying of such behaviour as ‘overimitation’—the uniquely human tendency to imitate actions modelled by others that have no transparent instrumental rationale but are simply that way because it is the established convention. This chapter explores the evolutionary origins of the ritual stance, as well as some of th
