The roots of witchcraft are just as ancient as the roots of voodoo. Like voodoo, ‘The Craft’ or witchcraft should never be confused with Satanism, the outright worship of Satan. The truth has nothing to do with such worship, even though there are some Satanists who will, wrongfully, call themselves a ‘witch’.

Wicca is the practice of the religion of witchcraft, with its own set of beliefs, while The Craft is more properly the practicalities of the art of witchcraft, such as spell-making and healing. It is the misunderstanding of this differentiation that has led to persecution in the past. Neither is witchcraft the old lady with a warty, crooked nose and pointed hat so beloved of myths and fairytales, nor is it the beautiful women or evil wizards so hyped for modern media.
