Witchcraft is the practice of magic. It is not a religion itself but it is usually done in conjunction with a religion.

Those that practice are called witches. There many types of witches. Christian witch, Gnostic witch, Wiccan witch, Satanic witch, Kemetic witch...etc. these are all associated with a religion. These are types not associated with a religion. Kitchen witch, Green witch, Folk witch, Solitary witch, Chaos witch...etc.

Magic is neither good or evil, black or white. Magic is the manipulation of energy to bring about a desired effect. This happens through spells, prayer(most common), ritual gestures, dance or songs. What does this describe? It describes the practices of many mainstream religions including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

The intent of the witch determines whether it is for a positive or negative outcome. When someone prays there intent is for God to hear. When someone lights a green candle there intent is to send money their way. When someone dances and sings to their gods they are sending there intent to communicate.

Witchcraft is real! Magic is real! Is it part of everything we do as humans.

Witchcraft is real based upon historical events and facts. The question is, what is witchcraft? If you are speaking about magical spells, curses, or voo doo then no, it is not real. It's all in the mind of the person if it is real or fake. So if someone puts a curse on you and you act as if you never had that event in your life then you will see no change. If you believe in superstition then you will start blaming events in your life happened due to that curse.

So.. do you believe or not?

Do you believe if you walk under a ladder or if you cross a black cat then you ll have bad luck?

I think witchcraft is real but only a certain kind of. Of course i don't think witchcraft like in the movies or books, with big old witches turning in a caldron and cursing and so on is real.
I think witchcraft is real to make some kind of potions (not bad ones) and so on.

Absolutely real!
Quotes about Witchcraft:
"We are not evil. We don't harm or seduce people. We are not dangerous. We are ordinary people like you. We have families, jobs, hopes, and dreams. We are not a cult. This religion is not a joke. We are not what you think we are from looking at T.V. We are real. We laugh, we cry. We are serious. We have a sense of humor. You don't have to be afraid of us. We don't want to convert you. And please don't try to convert us. Just give us the same right we give you--to live in peace. We are much more similar to you than you think." Margot Adler
"If you take [a copy of] the Christian Bible and put it out in the wind and the rain, soon the paper on which the words are printed will disintegrate and the words will be gone. Our bible IS the wind and the rain." Herbalist Carol McGrath as told to her by a Native-American woman.
"I don't think witchcraft is a religion. I would hope the military officials would take a second look at the decision they made." G.W. Bush (R), as Governor of Texas. Interviewed on ABC's Good Morning America, 1999-JUN-24. He disapproved of Wiccan soldiers being given the same religious rights as others in the military.
"We should educate people that 'Witch' is not evil but ancient and positive. The first time I called myself a 'Witch' was the most magical moment of my life." Margot Adler. 3
"When one defines oneself as Pagan, it means she or he follows an earth or nature religion, one that sees the divine manifest in all creation. The cycles of nature are our holy days, the earth is our temple, its plants and creatures our partners and teachers. We worship a deity that is both male and female, a mother Goddess and father God, who together created all that is, was, or will be. We respect life, cherish the free will of sentient beings, and accept the sacredness of all creation." Edain McCoy

I suppose you can ask if any religious practice is real, for that's what witchcraft is basically...a type of religious practice.

Witchcraft ultimately evolved from European neolithic Shamanic practices and was originally applied to people who were seen as healers and soothsayers. Nowadays it's a term that has a broader meaning and can be applied to people who practice divination, astrology, spriritual healings, etc.
It's sometimes mistakenly applied to people who practice Satanism.

So, again whether this type of spiritual practice is real or not depends on a person's perception of what witchcraft is, and depends on the person's belief system.

Yes.... it can bring evil things into your life. Don't open that door. The Bible clearly talks about it. If witchcraft (devil) stuff is real then it should definately be obvious that God is real as well.

I think I'll choose God anyday.

It is real. It may not be as powerful as some Hollywood movies would have us believe. But you should protect yourself.

well, it is real, and there are those they call "black" witches,
(I don't mean ***** people) those that practice the darker
side of withcraft, which can be very dangerous.
I prefer to give my devotion to the "one" true God.
