Hi there,

I was just wondering what are the major differences between
traditional witchcraft and neo-paganism, as they both apply to the
European context?. Specifically, how do they differ, if at all, from
each other in terms of their beliefs concerning life after death and
observational dates (Sabbats, ect.)?

Thank you!

Ah now, that is easy. There is no such thing as 'traditional' witchcraft
as it was only invented in 1951 ... so hardly a tradition.
Witchcraft is a branch of neo-paganism so part of the whole.
Your question is a bit like asking what is the difference between roman
catholicism and christianity ... the one is part of the other.

How do they differ in terms of rituals, practices and beliefs though?

Completely. There is no connection.
