embers of some religions have applied the term witchcraft in a pejorative sense to refer to all magical or ritual practices other than those sanctioned by their own doctrines - although this has become less common, at least in the Western world. According to some religious doctrines, all forms of magic are labelled witchcraft, and are either proscribed or treated as superstitious. Such religions consider their own ritual practices to be not at all magical, but rather simply variations of prayer.

Witchcraft is also used to refer, narrowly, to the practice of magic in an exclusively inimical sense. If the community accepts magical practice in general, then there is typically a clear separation between witches (in this sense) and the terms used to describe legitimate practitioners.

Wicca is inspired by the ancient pagan religions of northern Europe, as well as other faiths from around the world, it's a truly DIY religion. All Wiccans worship Mother Nature, or The Goddess, but after that it's really a free-4-all, with some sects recognising more male/female gods than u can shake a broomstick at.
