Witch

A witch is a person who practices witchcraft and is also believed to have supernatural powers. Belief in witchcraft is frequently present within societies and groups whose cultural framework includes a magical world. Witches are often thought of as old women with evil magical powers and are portrayed as wearing black cloaks and pointed hats flying around on a broomstick. In the modern era some witches may use witchcraft to refer to positive or neutral metaphysical practices, such as divination, meditation or self-help techniques found in the modern Pagan and New Age movements.
