How many types of Witch are there?
There are MANY traditions of Wicca and Witchcraft, however the vast majority of witches tend to be eclectic and solitary. Witches write their OWN Holy Book, Called by most a “Book of Shadows”. It contains all of their rituals, meditations, healing recipes, spells and other relevant work. No two of these Books is the same as any other Book. Accordingly there are as many TYPES of Witches as there are Witches. Witchcraft tends to be an individual relationship between the Witch and his/her Deity (for those witches who practice witchcraft as a Religion, that is). There are ALSO Witches who do NOT practice Witchcraft as a Religion AND there are Wiccans who practice NO witchcraft at all, only the rituals. You can have 1,000 witches in a room and question each one and find NO two whose beliefs are identical. Witchcraft COULD be considered to be Religious Anarchy whereby no one subscribes to anyone else’s beliefs, not even other Wiccans. I understand that this is a hard concept to wrap your min
