This varies, however, among those who engage the healing of individuals, those who work for the healing of all, and those who seek both, or see no essential difference between them. In this way witches may be identified as shamans. Witches TEND to focus more heavily upon certain mythic images than on others. Witches are often ecologists and may apply the principles of ecology in their lives where they feel able. Many are engaged in political activities designed to awaken a sensitivity to issues surrounding plant and animal, the balance of nature, and one's place in nature.
Witches are individualists.
Most are solitary workers. It is rare that I meet a witch who says she's a member of an organized religion. Those who do often work for social change, harmony, and a global consciousness without doctrinal or moral sectarianism. I find that most witches are open-minded and focus on actions rather than words and ideas, many having studied other cultures and acquired a broader view of social issues, and are generally accepting of all those whom they meet. I would say one more thing about witches.
