Witchcraft is still considered a crime in many countries. In others, its an accepted form of tradition. In the U.S.A. we have the religious right "to peaceably assemble" irregardless of our religious affiliation. The U.S.A's constitution First Admentment provides citizens with Religious Freedom. The anti-Witchcraft law of Great Britain was repealed in 1951. While, as a whole, Witchcraft religions are making a breakthrough in the U.S., Great Britain, and Canada, culturally, it has not come without a struggle.

Witchcraft is a spiritual path that has been around since humankind first became self aware.
Many of the recognised pagan paths use witchcraft, and/or magic as part of their everyday lives, celebrations, rituals and observances.
As I understand it, in most civilized, free-thinking countries, freedom of religion is a right.
