• Witchcraft is a craft, a skill. It is not a religion.
• You can have witchcraft without religion and you can have witchcraft with religion. Secular Witches, Wiccan Witches, Christian Witches, Pop Culture Witches, Pagan Witches, and many others are legit.
• Witchcraft =/= Wicca. They are two separate things.
• Witchcraft =/= Pagan. There are many witches who identify as nonpagan.

what exactly is witchcraft?

It is a craft that, much like art or music, can be used or created in a religious manner.
