Any religion that is basically non-Christian and that is not the standard belief is considered to be Witchcraft.
Although, true Witchcraft is not a form of Wicca, because it is the oldest relgion known to mankind. We are the believers in the power of the elements and the healers of herbs. Witchcraft should be recognized as a formal religion, not just as a cult.
Many persons who practice the craft, also have developed a deity in which they place their faith, Some call on the Fates for support, or even names that have become associated with Satan. Witchcraft has nothing to do with Satan,as this is a concept brought about by the Jews and the Christians.
I usually just consider myself to be Pagan and leave it as that, because of my many beliefs in the power of the elements.
Because of this belief, we also believe in the power that knowledge is also part of the power of the fates. And the new technologies that are appearing on the earth should not be dismissed. Because Witches have the tendencies to heal with herbs and many times will use Spells in their healing, they also believe that sometimes new medical technologies may be required in order to heal a person.
Simple Witchcraft is used to heal the spirit, just as Christianity is designed to heal a person's soul using the power of the belief in Jesus Christ.
Witchcraft/Pagan beliefs are also used to heal the power of the spirit, because all things on this earth have a spirit, whether it is a cat, a dog, a man, a woman, or even the simple computer or the chair in which you sit upon. Everything has a spirit, this is a basic Native Amercan belief.
We are NOT practioners of Satan, this is a Christian concept and since we do not believe in this deity known as Jesus Christ, common sense can only say that we do NOT believe in this being known as Satan.

Witchcraft, Paganism, The Craft, Wiccan, Druidism, Bubastic Paganism are all forms of Withcraft because they are not believers in the basic Judeo-Christian Mythology a.k.a. Judaism and Christianity.
But they are a religion within themselves.

1. In a fantasy or western-european-Pagan setting, sorcerous things that use so little mana as to be insignificant and not get you persecuted if you use them. Dancing naked in the forest when no one's looking and no camera is rolling is witchcraft that's too cheap to meter.
2. In a broader sense, a deed in a gray area (of society) that's so small as to not even be noticed.

1. When Gandalf blew a ship made of smoke through a smoke ring it was a form of witchcraft that's too cheap to meter.
1. At 10:45 AM I took off all my clothes and went into the woods and did a thankful little jig when it didn't snow. I'm Christian, but it was witchcraft that's too cheap to meter.
2. Gina:"Are you downloading MP3 files again?"
Sean:"Yeah, don't worry, it's witchcraft that's too cheap to meter. You won't get caught."
2. In 1996 I took some toilet paper and stuffed it into the bathroom exhaust fan at my grandmother's house, she didn't mind because it was similar to witchcraft that was too cheap to meter.

Someone who is a real pain in the ass to be around the majority of the time you chill with them, but is good for a laugh here and there. Also, they aren't very attractive. Resemble a rat in some way and would be one of the first people to rat you out in fear of getting caught themselves.

Get the bitchrat mug.Relating to the last paragraph of definition two, the intent of the practioner of the Magickal Arts defines so-called White (used for good)Magick from Black (used for evil) Magick. In Christianity, the church warns against danger that is connected to any practioner of Magick.
Unlike our comic book heroes, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutly. If this aphorism is so, none can be trusted to use his macickal powers for good only.
Jesus is quoted in the gospels as saying, (in response to someone calling him "Good master") "Why do you call me good? There is none good but God.
The idea that the practioner of white magick can resist temptations to meddle in human lives is not safe. Yet the learned usage of herbs and roots and other folk remedies for healing is not magick but more of the art of the Shauman. But all Magick is self-applied power to make things happen, and to say that "I will only use my powers for good" is to speak from the heart of delusion.

Power over all things of a human's life, when given, or assumed by default is so dangerous as to endanger the soul.
Look at the life and death of Jim Jones. He was a pwoerful preacher of the gospel, operated a very large church in San Francisco, was lauded by the mayor for all the good things done for the community by his church members. He gained power over his flock, immense power, to assign wives and husbands, to beat children and adults for perceived infractions of his rule, to the turning over to him of entire financial estates of families, and more.
When the dust finally settled in his dusty Jonesville in the jungle of a small country in Central America, the deaths of some five hundred members (and young children as well) of his Jim Jones religion occured. Adults had taken or had forcefully given to their children lethal dosages of cyanide dissolved in koolade. All in one afternoon.
That is a good example of the terror of final power, absolute power... Jim died from a gunshot wound to his head.
Jim Jones had been seduced by his own self-assumed power over his flock into thinking he controled life and death of his followers, few of them disagreed, and his followers died by cyanide poisonming.
The practice of Witchcraft also seduces because soon the thought occurs that the spells work because of the practioner's own power.
