Witchcraft
Coven's spiritual tradition
Witchcraft is the practice of magic, especially magic associated with spells, potions, and supernatural powers.
Historically, witchcraft was blamed for misfortune and disease, leading to persecution of accused witches: She was burned at the stake for witchcraft.
The word now also describes any skill so impressive it seems magical: His ability to predict the market is pure witchcraft.
