Anyone that went against witchcraft or had suspician would be going "against" God. People wouldnt adematicly think you were siding with the devil.
A theocracy is a system of government in which religious leaders control the state, and the laws are based on religious doctrine. In Salem during the witch trials, this theocratic structure fostered an environment where religious beliefs were intertwined with legal authority, leading residents to perceive witchcraft as a grave sin and threat to their community. Consequently, accusations of witchcraft were often seen as not only a legal matter but also a moral imperative, driving the fervor and urgency behind the witch hunts. This deep intertwining of faith and governance intensified the fear and suspicion surrounding alleged witches in Salem.

Yes. It enhances spirituality.
Theocracy in Salem, particularly during the Salem witch trials, created an environment where religious authority dictated social and legal norms, leading to widespread fear and paranoia. This system marginalized dissenting voices and fostered an atmosphere of suspicion, resulting in the persecution of individuals accused of witchcraft. The intertwining of religion and governance ultimately caused profound social division and trauma within the community, as personal grievances were often masked by accusations of witchcraft. Consequently, the theocratic system exacerbated tensions and led to tragic outcomes for many innocent people.
It is a theocracy that dictates terms to them if they don't do as they are told they are disciplined.
Wicca doesn't affect the world very much.

For the most part, Witchcraft practitioners in western cultures avoid working toward anything which would affect the free will of another. Magick itself is neutral, it is simply the manipulation of natural energies. It is more likely that you have an increased sensitivity towards someone you feel is acting negatively towards you. We give power to things that we believe in. The negative energy that is produced from believing someone wishes you ill, can cause both psychological, and in some cases physical repercussions. But it is usually our own mind that these effects c ome from, not directly from the actions of another. Your belief in God, Spirit, or powers of self healing/ protection can indeed help you to feel more secure and protected. You can use visualisation to reinforce these, and to ward off negativity.
