Understanding Witchcraft and Forbidden Places

Many people are trying to understand and even rationalize the evil in the world. Some have even gotten to the point of ignoring the warnings by going to forbidden places and connecting to the people there. There's even a story in the jewish world of a "convert" who abandoned Chassidut and went to witchcraft. Whether its the terrorists from Hamas or the spiritual terrorists elsewhere, the Torah has much to teach about all of it. Enjoy.
