In my reading's and research I've become fascinated with the international perceptions of witchcraft and magic, which in many non-western cultures carry cultural uses.
This sociology of witchcraft/magic in different societies such as within South America, the African continent and other non-western countries/continent's, are fascinating and I was wondering if anyone has had experiences with, knowledgeable on or has access to easily available credible information sources to do with the different cultures of witchcraft/magic.
I would post the documentary's from youtube which have peaked my interest by I am unsure if they follow the sites classification and censorship rules (there are graphic scenes).
E.G. In some West African communities witchcraft is used to explain hard times and as well as airing out grievances with in such times, allow redemption. So that the community can continue to function well.
