Women were often accused of being witches because older women seemed weak and had no power so they would pick on them since they had no power to defend themselves. The three phases of witchcraft were sorcery, diabolical witchcraft, and now it brings us to modern witchcraft.** **Sorcery - Pre-Christianity** - With reference primarily to witchcraft in primal and ancient societies; - The use of magic accessible to ordinary people, such as setting out offerings to helpful spirits or using charms, can be found in almost all traditional societies - Helped people to come to an understanding of their role in their natural world - People practicing magic with good consequences were considered ok (medicine men, witch "doctors") but those with evil intent were considered evil, hunted down and punished **Diabolical - Christianity at its strongest** - *Diabolical witchcraft,* with a focus on the persecution of alleged witches in Europe and the United States and on the social pathologies that accompanied this persecution; - Growing belief that all magic and miracles that did not come unambiguously from God came from the Devil and were therefore manifestations of evil - Even more "innocent" forms of witchcraft were considered immoral and punishable by death **Modern - Secularism (religion is separate from state)** - Dealing with contemporary witchcraft in the neopagan revival (modern day) - In the second half of the 20th century (1950's +), a self-conscious revival of pre-Christian paganism occurred in the United States and Europe. The foundation of this revival was witchcraft, or *wicca* - Modern witchcraft is entirely different from Satanism or the diabolical witchcraft imagined by the persecutors of past centuries.

Hubbard **Be able to:** describe relationship between Hubbard\'s job and the religion he created, discuss a practical reason for the creation of scientology (auditing), discuss a skeptical reason for the creation of scientology Ron L Hubbard, science fiction writer. creator of scientology (dianetics) auditing ( speaking and listening) engram, they erased their trauma,( all the bad in their life) this would be beneficial because they won\'t remember anything except their own religion Scientology was invented by L.Ron Hubbard, and he was a writer that wrote Science Fiction books for living before inventing the religion. The connection between his job and scientology was that the mythology and the story telling of the religion is science fiction, and since we wrote science fiction, he started to move from Dianetics and shifted to a more religious context to the human condition The technique the book of Dianetics outlines was engram, the technique was to erase their trauma and their painful past from their mind, and it would be beneficial because they would forget their painful emotions and traumas from the past. People were skeptical of this new religion/church believing that Hubbard had originally started the religion because it was tax exempt. One skeptical reason scientology exists is that for the courses and materials for scientology is very pricey, in which can lead into financial problems to the customers of the religion, and one practical reason that scientology exists is because of community and closure for the people practicing the religion.
