"Witchcraft" is ... 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. This use of the term is most often found in accusations against individuals who are suspected of causing harm in the community by way of supernatural means. Belief in witches of this sort has been common among most of the indigenous populations of the world, including Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. On occasion such accusations have led to witch hunts.

Witchcraft is often used to refer to the practice of indigenous magic. Depending on the values of the community, witchcraft can be regarded with varying degrees of respect, suspicion, or ambivalence.
