In several cultures around the world, the word witchcraft has both positive and negative connotations. Witchcraft is defined as the use of supernatural or magical forces to alter everyday happenings.
Witchcraft is frequently related with natural forces such as medicinal and dangerous plants, as well as rain and floods.
People accused of witchcraft are supposed to have the ability to influence natural events such as storms and droughts.
Despite the fact that both men and women can be accused of witchcraft, women make up the vast majority.
Tanzanian police have arrested a man accused of murdering his wife and dumping her body in a village well because he feared she was a witch.
