Do you know anything about witchcraft?

A friend of mine practices Reiki and her energy has become very strong. She has taken my pain away numerous times. In fact once I had a horrible headache and I felt like the top of my head came open and I could feel the pain shooting out of it. With reiki you never touch the person.

In fact her energy has gotten so strong that if your foot hurts she needs to work near your head otherwise she will actually make your foot hurt more. It’s energy work and literally she can feel the bad energy and throw it away. I was never a believer until I experienced it.

Hi! Reiki is a healing humankind can do. This is a wonderful healing, I'm told. It's not in any way "witchcraft".

Would a Native American shaman be categorized under the umbrella of witchcraft?

Not as far as my family tree went, they were considered a "Medicine Man or Woman". I don't know about the Native American to know their lingo. Sorry! Watching the skies/stars to predict the weather, had readings of birds feathers and used plants and herbs along with chants to heal. That's what I've read in my families books...

You probably are not directing your question to me, but may I offer my opinion?

From what I know of the varied Indian cultures in the U.S., they worshipped
"the Great Spirit" who we refer to as God or the absolute Being.
They have no "organized" religion as with idols and priests, dogmas, but
instead a purity of reverence to the Great Spirit.
Through prayer alone they can practice the "supernatural". or hearing the
voices of the knowledge from the unseen world.
There is great strength and beauty in their devotion and songs to their God.
I don't equate this with witchcraft or worshiping who we call "Satan".

Just my opinion.

Thanks for your answer. The question was to anyone who wanted to respond. Reminded me of someone I met long ago who was a shaman/ medicine man. The entirety of the conversation on that topic was about 15 minutes and the rest of the day was back to the matter at hand, which had nothing to do with it.

I remember he referred to himself as shaman/ medicine man, and I didn't ask many questions like what's the difference or are some of your people one, but not the other. I also didn't ask does this run in the family or is one chosen or anything like that. Under different circumstances I might have learned something. Thanks for your reply.
 
When we were in Cornwall we used to go past a place where my wife felt very uncomfortable so bad sometimes that we would take a 3 mile detour rather than go that way.

We later found this was where they burned the witches
