Hello. If you are here, you are kind male or female, who wants the world to become better. Firstly I can say, that to become a sorcerer isn't very easy. You have to do many useful things. you have to help people, have to heelp flowers to grow, have to help sky to be blue. Well, maybe it your daily work, I don't know. Secondly, you should tell stories. Yes, you should tell good stories. 'cause they make people imagine. Thirdly. Hey, don't make it bad! Take a sad song, and make it better! Remember, to let magic under your skin, than you begin, to make it better! To sum it up, tell us your own ways how to become a sorcerer. Because every good thing you've done is a MIRACLE.
And, Of Course, If You Will Give Your Friends Andrelatives Miracles, They Will Take Awards From You!! And You Will Get Awards From Them!!!
I am going to assume you have never taken any anthropology courses? All of those terms are used for identifying specific kinds of shamans, witches, etc. The way I remember it, they use witch and warlock to describe those who only practice spells that are not meant to be harmful, and they use sorcerer to mean those who put curses, hexes, and evil spells on others. So, in an anthropological sense witchcraft good, sorcery bad. I love miracles too, and have been witness to far more than what it would appear most people do. I even met people who have never even seen one miracle.... that blows my mind. I have seen dozens if not hundreds.
I had a friend named Anita, though I have not seen her in years and years. She used to call me "Mr. Pinochle", and I called her "Anita"
Wow. What they taught you in that class was bullshit, mate. I, myself, am a witch. A witch is a male or a female practitioner of witchcraft. Warlock comes from a derogatory term "waerloga" which means "oath breaker." If you were to call a true practitioner that, they would be VERY offended. Now to sorcerer, it comes from the term "sorcerie" meaning "one who influences fate or fortune." Though, this term isn't derogatory in nature, it's still quite silly to use it. Many witches (and pagans alike) would take offence to these terms.
Well, I am sorry if I offended. Not intended, and a very good buddy of mine has had an interest in the craft for many years. The text I got that info out of was called, 'witchcraft and sorcery', and many leading anthropologists contributed. I actually don't know for certain if warlock was in there, but I think it was...it was 20 years ago. I am sure that these researchers only specified certain exact definitions for the purpose of clarity in their own interactions. But, names are names, they're just words, and I choose to see them as more a reflection on the speaker, and no reflection on the target. So call me whatever and I don't care. There are maybe 3 or 4 words that I find distasteful, and I hear them a lot, they are ethnic slurs.
You have to understand that within cultural anthropology, it's the scientists that have to create words for these phenomena they observe in the cultures they study, to make it understandable for people from our culture. These anthropologists' terms are ultimately just for their own convenience.Our culture has a very different way of giving structure to things we observe than other cultures so to fully understand theirs we sometimes have to fit phenomena from theirs into our way of structurising. Since not many scientists practise or know anything about witchcraft outside of their fieldwork among the cultures they study, how they call things might not at all go along with the way you call it...
Sorcerer isn't just a man who make magical things. Because things are included in life, and a lot of them are magical.
