Witchcraft is a religion. Wicca is one type of Witchcraft, but the term "Wicca" is occasionally applied to Witchcraft in overall. In the United States, most people who practice this religion call themselves Witches or Wiccans. It is an earth-based religion and in some ways is similar to Native American spirituality. Wicca (sometimes called Wicce, The Craft, or The Old Religion) is based on an ancient religion of love for life and nature.

Basically, in all life.

All this anxiety was driving the Puritans

My uncle has spoken to me about that of witchcraft. I assured him that there weren’t no witchcraft and that it was just common dancing and nothing more. I went to the woods with Tituba and we danced in the forest. We danced as Tituba sang her Barbados songs it was only common dancing and nothing more, nothing bad came of it but my uncle he was sure there was more to it than mere dancing. It was early in the morning when we were dancing it was foggy and somewhat dark as we stood in the clearing of the forest so I can see how he may have gotten the idea that it was witchcraft as it follows the myths and stories that float around that of witchery. I were so much fun to dance in the woods even tho we’re not meant

I don’t know about you, but for me so far, all of our author’s attempts to get an explanation about what witchcraft is has failed. We know that witchcraft is the cause of misfortunes and personal injury sustained by the Azande people through what they believe to be no fault of their own, but I think we have yet to have any understanding of what causes witchcraft itself.
