Definition: The word "antiphlogistian" comes from Greek, meaning "against the light". It refers to someone who practices or believes in spiritual warfare against natural forces, which might include environmental changes like climate change or evil spirits. This can involve praying for favorable weather or natural disasters, seeking out witchcraft or magic rituals, and even using spells to disrupt normal human life cycles. In a broader sense, the word antiphlogistian could also refer to people who are skeptical of religious beliefs and practices, rejecting them as unproven and harmful. In other words, it's someone who believes in a higher power who controls natural phenomena or that nature is ultimately against good.
