Maleficium witchcraft is fictitious. It is based on the crazy, demented and distorted beliefs of those who felt that witchcraft was evil and the work of the devil. It comes from the 1486 document Malleus Maleficarum (the 'Hammer against the Witches'), used to torture and murder the innocent. This type of witchcraft DOES NOT exist. . . except for in the minds of those who prosecuted the innocent.
I believe that the term "Theological witchcraft" refers to genuine religious practices. However, practices and beliefs that have been termed "witchcraft" do not constitute a single identifiable religion, since they are found in a wide variety of cultures, both present and historical; however these beliefs do generally involve religious elements dealing with spirits or deities, the afterlife, magic and ritual. Sometimes witchcraft is used to refer, broadly, to the practice of indigenous magic, and has a connotation similar to shamanism, or it can refer to modern-day Wicca.
Theology has been defined as reasoned discourse about the nature of the Divine Higher Power, the Creator, Great Spirit, God and Goddess, or more generally about religion or spirituality. Theologians use various forms of analysis and argument (philosophical, ethnographic, historical) to help understand, explain, test, critique, defend or promote any of a myriad of religious topics. It might be undertaken to help the theologian understand more truly his or her own religious tradition, understand more truly another religious tradition, make comparisons between religious traditions, defend a religious tradition, or facilitate reform of a particular tradition, assist in the propagation of a religious tradition.
In summary, maleficium witchcraft is false: made-up nonsence that caused the death of innocent victims. Theological witchcraft are legitimate religious traditions with real beliefs, practices and doctrines.
Check out Wikipedia. I think that theological witchcraft has to do with angels and demons and such. Maleficium sounds like something wicked, as the root of the word -mal is Latin for 'bad.' Anyway, I would hop over to Wiki and look it up there.
Malleus Maleficarum is the document the Christian Church wrote and followed in employing torture and murder to get "confessions" of both those of the Craft and even those turned in by neighbors because of a skin blemish or a grudge. It is the document that introduced the word Witchcraft upon the world using a crafted lie to destroy the old religions and those who followed scientific and medical ways not condoned by theological law. I have copies of this heinous Christian document if anyone would want to read it themselves.
as was already answered theological witchcraft concerns angels and demons from a biblical/conventional spiritual idealogical system. Maleficium is actually a handbook or primer for witchhunters written pre-Salem witch trials. hope this helps.
Against the written biblical laws to avoid Sorcerers and Seers,astrology and the lot? Malfeasance- corruption in the law.Also- waste, damage, torts of law. And a game based on the Inquisition- "Maleficium".
