Being afflicted by Witchcraft means to be being harmed by a malevolent spell someone cast against you, your land, livestock, or something similar. Being accused of Witchcraft means that someone has either told you to your face, or has told someone else that you are a Witch and are using magic, likely for a negative purpose, despite whether or not you actually were or weren't.

The owner of those crops then would often accuse someone they didn't like of Witchcraft and working magic to make his/her crops fail.
