We don't need to bash people just because they have a question and don't understand what they even mean by that question. How else are people to learn about what witches are?

Harpgirl, I've had experience with healers who were definitely people trying to do the best they could to help themselves and others with powers that some people say don't exist. I've also had the experience of people who call themselves witches who have tried to find a weakness in me that they could exploit in order to have a greater sense of their own importance and power. (The latter were usually male, but not always.)

So to me, a good witch is one to whom the power is a means (a way of doing something) and a gift from the Divine, not an end (a purpose in itself to be sought) and an innate ability to be used for whatever you want to use it for. In other words, a good witch is someone who balances power and responsibility carefully.
