In his classical study of the Azande of Sudan, Sir Evans-Pritchard (1937) distinguished between ‘witchcraft†and ‘sorcery†by their technique. He defined witchcraft as the innate, inherited ability to cause misfortune or death whereas sorcery is the performance of rituals, the uttering of spells, and the manipulation of organic substances such as herbs, with the conscious intent of causing harm. Unlike in the case of witchcraft, persons could learn to practice sorcery.

For this discussion, expand upon the differences between sorcery and witchcraft by using examples from the file “Witchcraft among the Azande”. Give examples of both types of magic that appear in Azande culture. How does witchcraft act as a form of social control in small non-industrialized societies? What are some examples from American culture that could be viewed as witchcraft or sorcery?
