The words Witch and Witchcraft are made by the Vatican around 1600 to label religious and ritual practices other than Christianity. The old Religion and the Craft which is now known as Witchcraft is the ancient Pagan Nature Worship, and the shamanic Magic. The meaning of the word Witchcraft depends on what is meant by who says it.
