Witchcraft and the existence of witches is a major part of the culture in many African countries, just as “demons”, wiccans and witches are quite active in certain American locations. Hell, we have practicing witches and organized covens everywhere, including the prisons!

Here are the Google search results in the .edu domain for African witchcraft: The field is full of academic interest in this issue.

America’s Wiccan groups are subjected to forms of hate speech and could possibly be subjected to increasing violence. Let’s also not forget Sarah Palin’s ability to whip up an anti wiccan frenzy in a crowd.

Here’s an article about violence against wiccans at a US military installation in Iraq. And yes, there are practicing wiccans and their families in the US military.

This is a scary topic in which the potential for mindless violence applies in America as it does in African countries, and you are very brave to bring it up! I hope that these links allow people to take the study further.
