Historic:
Witchcraft (also called witchery or spellcraft) is the use of alleged supernatural, magical faculties. This may take many forms, depending on cultural context.
Beliefs in witchcraft have historically existed in most regions of the world. This was notably so in Early Modern Europe where witchcraft came to be seen as part of a vast diabolical conspiracy of individuals in league with the Devil undermining Christianity, eventually leading to large-scale witch-hunts, especially in Protestant Europe. Similar beliefs have persisted in some cultures up to the present, mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa (e.g. the Bantu witch smellers), and have occasionally resulted in modern witch-hunts. The concept of witchcraft as harmful is normally treated as a cultural ideology providing a scapegoat for human misfortune.
Since the mid-20th century Witchcraft has become the designation of a branch of contemporary Paganism, most notably including Wiccan traditions, who claim to practice a revival of pre-Abramic spirituality.
Controversial:
Europe, Spain, North America, South America, Asia, Ancient Near East, Saudi Arabia, India, Japan, Philllipines, Pakistan, Tocharians, Oceana, Africa, all have tales of witchcraft. So too do various religions: the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, Judaism, Islam. Where as they may not agree on the who, how and why, they all agree on the what. Witches. They exist. And in many cases, they are to be feared.
If you're going to have the name, you better have the game.
