Witchcraft has existed since humans first banded together in groups. Prehistoric art depicts magical rites to ensure successful hunting & rituals involving people dancing in animal costumes. Shamanism, the practice of contacting spirits through dreams & trances, is probably the oldest religion. Simple sorcery such as setting out offerings to helpful spirits or using charms, can be found in most ancient societies.

Witches of Sumeria & Babylonia invented an elaborate Demonology. They believed that the world was full of spirits, most of them hostile. Each person was protected by their own spirit (a guardian angel).

Western beliefs about witchcraft grew mainly out of the mythologies & folklore of the Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks & Romans. Witches in Egypt used amulets, spells, formulas (potions) & figures (voodoo dolls) to bend cosmic powers to their will.

The Greeks had their own form of magic known as Theurgy (rituals performed to invoke the action of the gods to unite with the divine & perfect oneself). A lower form of magic, mageia, was closer to sorcery.

The Celts worshipped both a god and goddess, and the many aspects of the "One Creative Life Source" & honored the presence of the "Divine Creator" in all of nature. A Celtic priestly class, the Druids, emerged. They were priests, teachers, judges, astrologers, healers, midwives & bards.

Beliefs blended over centuries & spawned such practices as concocting potions & ointments, casting spells & performing magic, along with the nature-based beliefs of the Celts, became collectively known as witchcraft in the Medieval Period. Wicca.
