the
nature, whose effects can be beneficial or maleficent. Normally the sorcerer uses the
power of
herbs and minerals to achieve their effects, he could also be called an herbalist.
In most cases, although the sorcerer does not directly invoke Satan, nor does he make pacts with him, he does
with him,
he does demand from nature effects that can only come from this evil being,
and
nature cannot produce such effects. Therefore, within Christian ethics,
the
witchdoctor is also in mortal sin because he denies the uniqueness of God, he attributes divinity to
the

no
Catholic is licit to practice witchcraft.
