Weird original meaning was (to control destiny, fate), later was applied to witches affairs, and that's when it became to mean eerie.

Ok, but why is it spelled with an ei despite not being after c?

Being a Germanic word in origin looks just right to me. Sorry not even sure what the c rule is! :D
ps; all English words look weird to me! I'm more comfortable with the Latin part of it.
