(Redirected from Witch)
Practitioners of Witchcraft, the meaning of which varies from culture to culture. Generally, witches are skilled in sorcery and the magical arts. Through rituals, charms, spells and the conjuring and invoking of spirits, they manipulate forces for either good or evil purposes. They are said to possess supernormal abilities such as invisibility, flying, shape-shifting, clairvoyance, weather control, killing at a distance and healing by touch. Belief in witches, sorcerers and magicians has existed universally since prehistoric times. A witch can be either male or female, but in Western culture over the centuries, the term has come to apply almost exclusively to women.[1]
