Sorcery is the set of beliefs, (the theoretical knowledge, practical and activities) attributed to certain people called witches or sorcerers according to sex, which are supposedly endowed with certain magical abilities that are used in order to cause damage according to experts. Others believe it is to do good.
Belief in witchcraft is common in many cultures since ancient times, and interpretations of the phenomenon vary in some ways from one culture to another. In the Christian West, witchcraft has often been linked with the belief in the Devil, for ignorance of the subject or malicious intent, especially in times he had to create an excuse or some guilty, at times in Europe an obsession untie by witchcraft which led to numerous prosecutions and executions of witches (what is called "witch hunt"). Some theories relate European witchcraft with ancient pagan religions of fertility, although none have been demonstrated.

Witches are very important in the folklore of many countries, and are part of popular culture.
