RE: different types of witches?
Hi Sarah
a green witch is usually someone who works with herbs and plants.
a hedge witch is a lone witch.
I kind of go away from the other answers here, because to me a white witch is a cop out. I am a witch, I am also a hedge witch because I am self initiated and I work mainly on my own. I was a healer before I realised I was a witch. Does that make me a white witch, No I dont think so because I could just as easily use the energy to cause harm. You hear of very few "white christians" and yet the definitian is the same. If we accept that there are white witches then that must just pander to the media etc. who want to portray witches as evil, if we have to say "I am a witch, but I am a white witch" then we might just as well go back to the days when we had to keep quiet. "And it harm none, do as tou wilt." The vast majirity of witches will recognise this, it doesnt look like much untill you try to live by it. This is where I find it hard to see that anyone can think that any witch practices black magic. If we are bound by the witches read and the law of three fold return then why call ourselves "white witches"?

I agree with wolfspirit. A witch is always a white witch - there is no other type of witch. A 'black' witch is not a witch at all but something else! 😉

Hi Silverdawn...
I think you misunderstand Wolfspirit...
I think he is saying that a witch is a witch, period... No white witch or black witch. The energies you work with can be used for either good or bad. The energy in itself is a dual energy....
This is just how I interpret what he says, if I am wrong I am sure he will correct me...

RE: different types of witches?
Yes I think we're saying the same thing, or thereabouts, that is that according to the wiccan laws there is no such thing as a 'black' witch, no person using those powers for ill intent can be deemed a witch at all, and so the idea of a 'white' witch becomes obsolete. So at the end of the day, there are only witches. Does that make sense? Trying to be clear!

Yes that makes perfect sense Silverdawn 😀 And I agree... 🙂
