Sorcery implies some sort of
supernatural power over people and their affairs.
People who wield such magickal charm or influence are called Sorcerers (or Sorceresses in the case
of women). This term has a generally negative connotation, implying evil or “black” magick. The most
famous Sorceress of legend was Circe (SUR-see).
In Homer’s Odyssey, she turned Odysseus’s men
into pigs.
