Historically, witches were often believed to possess supernatural powers and were associated with practices like herbalism, divination, and spellcasting. In various cultures, they were thought to either help or harm others, leading to both reverence and fear. During periods like the European witch hunts, many were accused of malevolent acts and faced persecution. Today, witchcraft is often viewed through the lens of spirituality and empowerment, particularly in contemporary pagan practices like Wicca.
