Witchcraft is a middle-ages notion for prohibited magics, real or imaginary. In the middle east, the term was sorcery and in the 14th and 15th centuries, many algebraists and astronomers were persecuted as sorcerers for their esoteric work.
We’ve seen it again in modern times such as during the Satanic panic, in which rock bands, tabletop roleplayers and preschool teachers were accused of engaging in Satanic rites and prosecuted.
Even todays accusations of trans folk and drag queens of grooming children fits the patten. Is biological evolution witchcraft? Florida thinks so much the way Antifa is a cabal of terrorists.
Any field of knowledge that runs against the establishment religious ministries and terrifies reactionaries counts as witchcraft whether it is grounded in superstition or peer-reviewed scientific theory.
Witchcraft is imaginary, so reading leads to imagination. Sounds good to me.
