Witchcraft or witchery broadly means the practice of and belief in [[magic (paranormal)|magical]] skills and abilities exercised by [[solitary practitioner]]s and groups. ''Witchcraft'' is a broad term that varies culturally and societally, and thus can be difficult to define with precision,<ref name="Russell">[https://books.google.com/books?id=LsjagvvkveEC&dq=witchcraft+definition&pg=PA2 Witchcraft in the Middle Ages] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230731064328/https://books.google.com/books?id=LsjagvvkveEC&dq=witchcraft+definition&pg=PA2 |date=2023-07-31 }}, Jeffrey Russell, p.4-10.</ref> and [[cross-cultural]] assumptions about the meaning or significance of the term should be applied with caution. Witchcraft often occupies a religious [[divination|divinatory]] or medicinal role,<ref name="ReferenceA">Bengt Ankarloo & Stuart Clark, Witchcraft and Magic in Europe: Biblical and Pagan Societies", University of Philadelphia Press, 2001</ref> and is often present within societies and groups whose [[cultural framework]] includes a magical [[world view]].<ref name="Russell" />
