Witchcraft was the practice of magic, especially black magic; the use of spells and the invocation of spirits to the people back then.
The so called "witches" would get  villified by church groups, banned by local communities in Britain and abroad, and remembered for its trippy mix of sexual, sado-masochistic and religious imagery.
The people used to believe that witches were something to fear but, all they practiced is the craft of  art and/or science. Most Witchcraft traditions teach that "all gods are one god, all goddesses are one goddess, and the God and the Goddess are one".

Sorcery in Europe continued to develop over time and included several elements from pagan religions in the folklore of Christian Europe. Women believed that they would participate in spiritual dreams, roaming with the goddess Diana and other spiritual figures that stroke terror with those that encountered it. In the Middle Ages, the Christians viewed these beliefs as mistaken concepts and gradually insisted it as diabolical.

Christians began to fight back claiming opposing beliefs and believing them to be people associated with the devil, those who do sinful acts and actions.
