Who is a Witch?
The word witch has different meanings and connotations depending on the context, culture, and history.
Here are some possible definitions of a witch:
In fiction and folklore, a witch is usually a woman who has evil or harmful abilities, such as casting spells, flying on a broomstick, or making potions.
Sometimes, witches are portrayed as having a pact with the devil or a demonic familiar.
Examples of this type of witch are the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz, or the witches from Macbeth.In some religions and traditions, a witch is a person who practices witchcraft as a form of spirituality, worship, or healing.
Witchcraft is often based on ancient or pagan beliefs, rituals, and practices that involve nature, the elements, or the divine.
Some examples of this type of witch are Wiccans, neo-pagans, or folk healers.In informal or slang usage, a witch can be a term for a mean, ugly, or unpleasant woman.
This is usually a derogatory or insulting way of referring to someone who is disliked, feared, or envied.

What does a Witch look like?
Witches can be male or female, and they can belong to different traditions or cultures.
There is no single way that a witch looks like, as they can have different appearances, clothing, and accessories depending on their personal preferences and magical practices.
However, some common stereotypes or symbols of witches are:
A pointed hat, usually black or dark-colored, that may have magical properties or serve as a sign of identification.
A broomstick, which is used for flying or sweeping away negative energies.
A black cat, which is often seen as a witch's familiar or companion. A familiar is a spirit that helps a witch with their magic and provides guidance and protection.
A cauldron, which is used for brewing potions, soups, or other concoctions.
A pentagram, which is a five-pointed star that represents the elements of earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. It is also a symbol of protection and balance.
A wand, which is a tool for directing and focusing magical energy.
However, not all witches follow these stereotypes or use these symbols.
Some witches may prefer to dress in modern clothes, use crystals or cards instead of wands or cauldrons, or have different kinds of animals as their familiars.
Witches are diverse and creative people who express their magic in their own unique ways.
