Hebrew, kesheph; masculine noun, “sorcery.” In the Latter Day Saint movement priestcraft is seen as men and women that “preach and set themselves up for a light unto the world, that they may get gain and praise of the world; but they seek not the Welfare of Zion” (2 Nephi 11:106b RAV, 26:29b OPV).
Examples of priestcraft range from necromancy to sorcerers/sorceresses, and idolators to false prophets. It can include those that make a mockery or even a business of religion, and those teaching egoism and pride, materialism, and even those in the Churches of Christ using unrighteous dominion.
