Venefica

(religion, spiritualism, and occult)

Venefica is one who practices poisoning as a secret art, or one who has a knowledge and deals in poisons. This was a source of mistranslation by King James in his version of the Bible. The original text referred to venefica (poisoner), and he mistook the term to be the same as malefica (witch), thus confusing a poisoner with a Witch. "Thou shalt not suffer a poisoner to live," made sense while "Thou shalt not suffer a Witch to live," did not. The confusion probably came about because Witches did have a knowledge of poisons, as a doctor would have, in order to be able to administer antedotes when necessary.
