Nope. I was answering your question. Wicca's seen as a type of religion today and in the medieval times it was known as sorcery/witchcract/ect. There's a difference between sorcery sorcery and well, idk another name for it. Huh. Anyways, we'll just call the first one SS [hahaha. That's so ironic. Srry, started the penguinwalk, but I stopped myself *grin*] and the second will be TT.
Okay. SS will be the magical sorcery stuff with all the bending of the elements, the calling of demons, all that magic magic stuff that's either good or bad. In neither of the threads, I'm asking about that. What I'm talking about in this thread is the TT kind. That's the group where people meet in covens to pay homage to their god/gods [it was diff. for each individual], just like a church sermon, except with a lot more uh, activity. They'd make a circle, do a ritual, dance, eat, ect. all in name of their god/gods. Their practices of magic is just like the use of prayer except once again, with a lot more activity involved. The outcomes vary just like it would in prayer and since the majority of them are probably superficious they'd 'bend' it to where it actually happened [like in 'Yes Man' if any of you have seen it where he believes that if he says 'no' bad things will start to happen; or where sportsmen/women have special 'rituals' or lucky charms they do or wear before the game].

Okay, okay! You win! Don't go scientific on me! But from what I understand, which is seriously little, you make sense.

Book 5, Chapter 24, Page 185 (at least in the hardback version)
They mention the evil eye and the devil. So... we know they believe in the Devil, from which we can gather that they believe in Hell. If they have Hell and the Devil, can we assume that they have Heaven and God?

But the evil eye isn't always associated with the Devil exactly, more with the whole general subject of evil/sorcery. So that can practically fall in just about every religion.

"Misshapen, ugly beings, they were. Creatures with the evil eye and the mark of the devil on them."

But could devil stand for more than the Christian Devil since it wasn't capitalized?

Not everyone capitalizes devil. I usually don't capitalize god. That's a matter of personal belief. It also says THE devil, not plural, not A, THE.
