Witchcraft is traditionally defined as any magical system that implies the use of tools and other materials to cause magical changes in order to obtain personal benefits or improvements.
Witchcraft may imply evocation or not, and in general it is included within the arts of high magic.
For some, witchcraft implies the path of the left hand. For others, it implies Judeo -Christian magical systems such as Goetia.
Many people who self -identify as sorcerers enjoy magical and spiritual exploration and experimentation.
