is witchcraft legal
Assuming that you live in the United states, witchcraft is not only legal, it is protected by the Constitution, in the Bill of Rights.
You’ve read or heard of the First Amendment, right? “Congress shall make no law…”
So, the short answer is yes, witchcraft is legal. As a form of religion iit is protected by the First amendment to the Constitution and you are free to practice it anywhere in this country, including in the U.S. military or American prisons.
Now, the long answer. Witches have long been oppressed throughout the world because people do not understand the religion and many ultra-conservative religions have chosen to persecute witches. Many even take their traditions from variations on Wiccan and witchcraft traditions, like Christmas and Easter, but still argue that witches are evil.
Historically, much of the persecution comes from fear and from the fact that pagan religions were much more prevalent and powerful in the first years of Christianity. By convincing Christians that the religion was evil and its practitioners consorted with devils and demons, the Christian church was able to gain followers and become larger.
And, though legally we are protected in our right to practice whatever religion we choose, the reality is that many are still persecuted for their beliefs. After September 11, many Muslims were discriminated against and even injured for their faith. Many witches face the same kinds of actions.
Those openly practicing witchcraft often find that they lose their jobs, or can’t get a job, and are targets of hateful speech and hateful actions. There is nothing wrong with practicing witchcraft, but you must be prepared for the way others might respond.
