There has been a marked increase of reports on issues connected with witchcraft in the media. These stories range from exhuming dead bodies for body parts, human sacrifice where victims are killed, genitals cut off and blood drained from the body and people banished from home areas after being accused of bewitching others. One wonders whether witchcraft practices are on the increase or whether their prominence is because they are linked to criminal acts such as murder. Many reasons are advanced for practicing witchcraft search for wealth, jobs, power, love, peace and stability in relationships. Research reveals that witchcraft in historical, anthropological, religious, and mythological contexts is the alleged use of supernatural or magical powers. A witch is a practitioner of witchcraft. Historically, it was widely believed that witches were in league with the deviseconl and used their powers to harm people and property. Particularly, since the mid-20th century, 'bad' and 'good' witchcraft are sometimes distinguished. The 'good witchcraft' often involves healing. The concept of witchcraft as harmful is normally treated as a cultural ideology, a means of explaining human misfortune by blaming it either on a supernatural entity or a known person in the community.
