About witches in the modern world
The main and most important thing to understand: magicians, sorcerers, witches, witch doctors, psychics - it's all one and the same. Magic or energy, which penetrates our world and surrounds a person, is one energy. The knowledge of this energy is thousands of years old.
Every nation has had "special" people who have studied, practiced and learned to interact with this energy. In the process of studying this energy, magicians began to understand that this Higher energy could be directed to lower purposes. Thus, over time, healing emerged.
The act of creation as an antagonist to destruction passed to the domestic world as well. Magicians began to treat people with this energy, to get rid of diseases. People called such people healers. You can heal a person with both folk medicine (medicinal herbs) and magical methods.
Further this universal energy began to be directed in a negative direction, used as a tool, for curses, phenomena, which we call spoilage, having only one goal - to carry destruction. Thus black magic, evil witches and sorcerers and so on appeared. Other colors of magicians appeared thanks to the work of marketers and people. But it is closely intertwined in human consciousness that all black is evil, and white is good. But it doesn't work that way.
What we call magic is the Higher energy, it manifests in everything, the natural that surrounds us and this energy doesn't care how people call it, black or white, it is there in itself regardless of the people who practice it or observe its manifestation in our world.
By real interaction with this energy the magician begins to acquire unique qualities, the spirituality of such person becomes higher and a new stage of the magician's life path begins. What ordinary people call supernatural abilities is a consequence of this new life, spiritual path.
