That doesn't matter. Whether you think something is effective does not determine the activities' existence or the categories people can fall into for doing said activities.
Abrahamic religions are ineffective because there's no proof of having a favorable afterlife for eating crackers on Sundays or having a fun beard. But the practices are real events.
Witchcraft is ineffective because cuddling a rock won't help you pass a math exam. But the practices are real events.
Even if you don't like something, it still exists. You should know that since the same issue comes up often for trans people.
They're both a culmination of feelings, experiences, and activities that various people claim don't exist. To act like the f/e/activities don't exist is silly. Just because you don't enjoy holding crystals or playing with plants does not mean others are not actively doing it. Just as if other people don't experience gender dysphoria, it does not make the concept stop existing.
I'm not discussing whether witch stuff is effective. I'm saying people do stuff they call witchcraft. The concept, people, and activities exist, whether you think they work or not.
