∙ 10y agoThat would really depend upon your definition of Witchcraft. To me, Witchcraft is any religious magic using belief system that in itself predates or its predecessor predates Christianity. This would then include things like voodoo which stems from african tribal beliefs, native american shamanism, aboriginal practices as well as the beliefs and practices of Pre Christian Europe. This is because I view the word Witchcraft as a generic term rather than a definitive one.
A more traditional answer based upon the words etymology would lead you to the practices that developed from the Pre Christian practices of Western Europe namely the British Isles. Gardnerian and Alexandrian Wicca would be examples of Modern Witchcraft in this sense.

Telekinesis, is the ability to move objects with your mind. There may have been a time when some might have considered it witchcraft, but those were less enlightened times.
