Witchcraft, Wicca, Folk Magick and related are more or less the same- I’ll explain below in detail what they’re all about.
Witchcraft by magickal definition is about hosting/holding ritual through utilization of several tools that represent the intent of the operator and related; don’t think of course about Western ceremonial magickal implements, e.g. Fire Staff, Cup, Triangle of the Art etc.- think more simplistic, e.g. handkerchiefs, alcohol, consumables, beverages & similar. Hair or fingernails obtained serve to represent the spiritual bond with the target in question. Consequently, the operator generates spiritual energy though a mental/emotional trigger, for instance anger (if the purpose of the work is destruction), or loving feelings (if the purpose is love). Using the aforementioned items, that energy (when at peak levels) is then aimed or directed towards the target(s) in question or, if there is no specific target involved or the objective is of a neutral nature (e.g. getting a well-paying job), in the Ether. For the rest it’s rinse & repeat until results are obtained.
Folk Magick and related are the same in essence; there are variants- such as instead of using self-generated energy, a spirit or entity (generally a miscellaneous one, or elemental).
See below, they relate & are useful:
