“We were apparently rather resistant to the idea of destroying witches in England, unlike views espoused in so-called books — and I use the word "book" very loosely — like The Da Vinci Code. [pretends to spit in disgust] It is complete loose stool water. It is arse-gravy of the worst kind.”
“To save the witch-children in Nigeria and rescue this nation from witch-believing forces, we need to get all Nigerians to exercise their common sense, reason and critical intelligence when practicing or professing their religion or belief. This is especially important when they are reading, preaching and interpreting messages and doctrines contained in their holy books.”

La brujería es el uso de magia por parte de una persona llamada bruja. Tradicionalmente, "brujería" significa el uso de magia para infligir daño o desgracia sobrenatural a otros, y este sigue siendo el significado más común y extendido. Aunque la idea de la brujería es en gran medida imaginaria, no obstante ha servido en muchas culturas como una forma de explicar la presencia del mal. La creencia en las brujas se ha encontrado a lo largo de la historia en un gran número de sociedades en todo el mundo. La mayoría de estas sociedades han usado magia protectora o contramagia contra la brujería, y han evitado, desterrado, encarcelado, castigado físicamente o matado a supuestas brujas. Los antropólogos usan el término "brujería" para creencias similares sobre prácticas ocultas dañinas en diferentes culturas, y estas sociedades a menudo usan el término cuando hablan en inglés.
