There are strange things in the world that we can't explain, sometimes it's just plain strange and we're not keen enough to notice it, but there are things that are suppressing the humane capabilities of one, some say witch craft has something to do with it.
There are two aspects of witchcraft that stand out in daily practice in certain places in this world and are the predominant practice of the area. One is practiced by people who truly have a desire to help and learn to do things for that purpose. And then there are those who practice the dark applications of manipulation to obtain selfish desires. I had the wonderful opportunity to be related to one of the most wonderful experiences one could want to have and had my eyes opened to a different way of interpreting reality, from the stance of the naturalistic knowledge of the elders of the area who were specialists in herbs, births, broken bones and most all other ailments feasible were attended to in some way by the elders who developed one of the first working clinics for the purpose of uniting both the medicine of the elders who knew the ways of their people and that of clinical medical help both in the same unit.
The "Brujos" who practiced the black arts were not permitted in or anywhere near this. No more than a common criminal is accepted and allowed to do his stupidities. If they were found or discovered to be doing negative things they were immediately banned and sent away as they had nothing to do with helping the people. This is serious stuff and the elders didn't play around.
In our modern world we have the tendency to interpret this activity as Brujeria do to some heavy social influences that for some reason we are supposed to interpret that kind of activity as magic and stupid when in reality real witchcraft was developed for the same reasons and in times that it was practiced openly it was actually just the naturalistic practices of people who loved to help others.
Of course you can treat your study to the Age of the New Dawn practices employed by Aliester Crowley and are interesting activities developed to help understand the dark side and the things that go bump in the dark but that is a whole other thing.
So now, is it possible that there are things that we couldn't explain have something to do with magic itself? I myself believe so.
