Is witchcraft satanic

Answer 1

Modern witches would give that a resounding "NO," arguing that Satan is a Judeo-Christian concept in which they simply don't believe.

One might argue, however, that IF Satan is indeed the spirit of evil, then simply refusing to recognize him doesn't mean one isn't doing his work. Some people who are naturally inclined to mischief may study witchcraft into order to gain power to amplify that mischief.

However, as far as ceremonially worshipping Satan, conjuring him, kissing his butt, having sex with him or his minions, receiving secret marks on the body, signing contracts in blood, etc., that's all made up by people who were trying to whip up hatred of witches. Unfortunately, a few wacky people will try to do that, in a sort of rebellion against conventional religion, so the anti-witch crowd gets a little ammunition to claim, "There you are!" Rockers and goths (though not all of them) are particularly problematic in this regard.

The great bulk of witches practice a sort of Earth Magic (or "magick," to distinguish it from illusionism) which is totally benign: no hexes, curses, causing plagues, miscarriages or the like.

Answer 2

Certainly not. First of all the ideas of Satan where barely in existence at the time of the Druids. The Druids worshiped a gods of nature, and though which gods they worshiped varied from wherever the individual Druids came from, none of them were satanic. Many theories abound about them sacrificing humans to their gods, However these statements were made by Roman authors and writers and therefore should be suspect. Regardless Druids did not worship Satan at all.
