Engraving entitled: "Witch riding backward on a goat accompanied by four putti" by the Northern Renaissance artist Albrecht Durer (1471-1528). Witchcraft is the use of magical faculties, most commonly for religious, divinatory or medicinal purposes. This may take many forms depending on cultural context.
