Well, In my hometown it's pretty normal... I think, almost in every village we have witch here, you know the black one, the white one and the grey one. My lecturer's dissertation is even about the spells that are collected from my regency. You can kill, harm, make people love you, ruin someone's bussines, make your bussiness successful with their help. We also have a special forest, for the witches to obtain their power. I was shocked about the comments here because most of the people here don't believe in magic.
I asume a better name would be Alchemy, esoterisim, and the occult. I know you can take an alchemy class in Vienna and one in the U.S. Professor Sledge has the RU-vid channel Esoterica.
