Wicca Crafts

The operations of magic and witchcraft deal with the hidden worlds of spirit and the powers innate within the natural world: within plant, stone and magical loci. The "Old One", who in folk tradition is often named "The Devil", embodies both the "rend in the veil" and the spanning bridge between the worlds of the material and spiritual, the revealed and the hidden.
