-- In Papua, New Guinea, the prime minister is considering the repeal of the Sorcery Act "which criminalizes the practice of sorcery and recognizes the accusation of sorcery as a defense in murder cases."
-- In Peru, a Chilean cult leader who proclaimed that he was God, was found hanged. Gustavo Castillo Ramon Gaete had been sought by police after he allegedly threw a three-day old baby -- his own son -- onto a fire because, as he explained it, any offspring of God would by definition be the antichrist and therefore must die. The mother of the child agreed with God's decision.
Looking down on or being horrified by the 'magic' of others is easy.
Funny how frequently our own Magical Kingdoms are given a pass.
