Everyone's opinions vary concerning this highly otuchy subject, but to me witchcraft was--and still is--a practice of nature and magic that harmoniously connected with the soul to replenish and learn aspects of your soul or poersonality. People feared withvces traditionally and killed many, even if they were innocent Nowadays people odn't tend to believe in them but in some countries it is still a crime to be a witch/sorcerer/wiccan.
