There is no universally agreed definition, so it is best approached obliquely or en masse. It has also been defined as the art that purports to control or forecast natural events, effects, or forces by invoking the supernatural through the use of charms, spells or rituals. People who are witches, are witches - you don't just become one. People who are really ready to live the Wiccan life will find us. When the time is right for the witch to find witch-folk they will see one of the many posters, journals or books that are on display in just about every bookstore in South Africa.
Some people complain about how hard it is to find witches.
We just laugh good-naturedly. We know that when they are meant to find us, they will. It has nothing to do with superstition, psychic powers or any odd-ball concept like that. Simply, if a person is busy with too many tasks, clues that are present all around them will be discarded or ignored from information overload. Integrating into a new religious community is hard.
