Etymology
Ancient Greek (goitia) means "charm, jugglery"[1] from "sorcerer, wizard".[2] The meaning of
"sorcerer" is attested in a scholion, referring to the Dactyli, stating that according to Pherecydes and Hellanicus,
those to the left are gotes, while those to the right are deliverers from sorcery.[3] The word may be ultimately
derived from the verb "groan, bewail". Derived terms are "a charm" and "to bewitch,
beguile".
was a term for witchcraft in Hellenistic magic. Latinized goetia via French gotie was adopted into
English as goecie, goety in the 16th century.
Renaissance magic
During the Renaissance goeteia (Latinized goetia, French gotie, English goety) was sometimes contrasted with
magia as black (evil) vs. white magic, or with theurgy as "low" vs. "high" magic.
