Witchcraft
Witchcraft (also called witchery or spellcraft) broadly means the practice of, and belief in, magical skills and abilities that are able to be exercised individually by designated social groups, or by persons with the necessary esoteric secret knowledge. Witchcraft is a complex concept that varies culturally and societally; therefore, it is difficult to define with precision and cross-cultural assumptions about the meaning or significance of the term should be applied with caution. Witchcraft often occupies a religious, divinatory or medicinal role, and is often present within societies and groups whose cultural framework includes a magical world view. Although witchcraft can often share common ground with related concepts such as sorcery, the paranormal, magic, superstition, necromancy, possession, shamanism, healing, spiritualism, nature worship and the occult, it is usually seen as distinct from these when examined by sociologists and anthropologists.
Concept
The concept of witchcraft and the belief in its existence have existed throughout recorded history. They have been present or central at various times, and in many diverse forms, among cultures and religions worldwide, including both "primitive" and "highly advanced" cultures, and continue to have an important role in many cultures today. Scientifically, the existence of magical powers and witchcraft are generally believed to lack credence and to be unsupported by high quality experimental testing, although individual witchcraft practices and effects may be open to scientific explanation or explained via mentalism and psychology.
Gypsy (catboat)
The Gypsy (previously known as the Witch and the Wren) is a historic catboat whose home is in Wareham, Massachusetts. She was designed and built in 1900 by Bowdoin B. Crowninshield, as one of four identical sailing vessels, and was designated Crowninshield #149. Her design was influenced by the "Seawanhaka Rule", instituted at the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club to govern important characteristics of racing boats. She has a spoon bow, low freeboard, and long overhangs rising out of the water fore and aft. Her hull is made of white cedar on an oaken frame, although the top levels have been replaced with cypress.
The boat design was commissioned by Charles Henry Davis, who received the Hun, the first of the four boats built. The Witch was the second in the series, and was delivered to Osborne Howes II. (In-laws of Howes purchased the other two.) The Witch was first berthed at the summer house of the Howeses in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, which was called "The Witch House", and used by the family in informal races. She was sold by Howes in 1926, and came into the hands of Edward Barus, who sailed her in the Osterville area. After she was damaged in the New England Hurricane of 1938, she was rerigged from a gaff rig to a Marconi rig. In 1949 the boat, now named Wren, was purchased by Marjorie O'Brien, its present owner, who gave the boat its present name.

Witch
by: Komandos1. Look how is she walking through Her forest
See how is she dancing in the rain
Hear her voice calling out the creatures of nightmares
Feel the power of her brain
She is the master of spells and magic
She has the force to kill as all
She know the secrets of ancient books and scrolls
She is the queen of the night
I am the last member of my nation
You week humans has burned us all
My revenge will be very painful
I will turn you into empty bones
Your village will be eaten by the fire
Your children will die one by one
Now you will pay for your desire
Nothing can stop my wrath
2. And she started to laugh, and the shadow
Has dropped down from the sky
Evil forces has arrived to fight for her
To broke down this land
She is the lord of the demon army
She has the scepter of the hell
She know secret powers of the earth
She is the death in the mask
I am the last member of my nation
You week humans has burned us all
My revenge will be very painful
I will turn you into empty bones
Your village will be eaten by the fire
Your children will die one by one
Now you will pay for your desire
Nothing can stop my wrath
3. Eye of the lizard and leg of the frog
Mind of the sheep and fang of the dog
Tears of the angel and legs of the spiders
Hair of the donkey and hoofs of black riders
In the name of the flames and in the name of the water
In the name of the wind and in the name of earth - mother
You are all damned, don't try to rebel
