What is witchcraft?

Question 10 of my survey was:
Explain what you think witchcraft is?

The most common words used were;
Power
Spiritual
Nature
Potions
Occult
Magic
Spells
Religious

 This indicates that some people think that witch craft is an aspect of a religion to do with being in balance with nature and having the spiritual ability to have supernatural powers. I think that some of these words are very powerful and meaningful, for example 'occult' could suggest that witchcraft is very mystical and not understood by people who are not directly involved in it themselves, which I have found is the truth and the reason that people think witches are evil or even delusional is because they fear the power and the skills that these witches have because they do not understand it and never will because they have not been involved with it in any way,

Other words that were used were;
To bring harm
Fear
Heal
Evil
Devil worship
Harmony
Alternative
Sinister
Crystals
Candles
Cards
Palm reading
Chants
Superstitious
Protecting the innocent
Skills
