Best Answer

Depending on your angle there can be many with diverse meanings. If you are referring to the "magical" conception of witchcraft, the most accurate synonym would be sorcery. The early treatises on witchcraft often said the two words together, "by your sorcery and witchcraft." Necromancy was also spoken of along with sorcery and witchcraft, but it was distinct and unique from them.

If you are referring to more mythological conceptions of witchcraft it can have diverse meanings at different times. Two of the more common concepts are that it is a continuation of old Irish Druidism, which in some ways it is, and there are also theories of witchcraft that depict it as stemming from an old pagan feminist cult: the Cult of Diana.
