Emily Dickinson's poetry often communicates layers of
meaning and subtext beneath the simple lines of verse. What she is referring to in the
first line, that witchcraft was "hung in history," is the European and North American
witch trials that occurred over the course of several hundred years. These trials and
the accompanying cultural upheaval are seen to have been caused by pervasive suspicion
and sexist attitudes towards women. Dickinson, herself a feminist, albeit a circumspect
and solitary one, is referring to "all the witchcraft she needs around her every day",
i.e. the magic or mystery in everyday life that is a direct result of her identity as a
woman. She is not literally referring to witchcraft, but to the kinds of things thought
of as witchcraft during the witchcraze days, like intuition, love of nature, belief in
coincidence and fate.
