Another little extra blog post relating to my ongoing series .
Types of witches in The Cruden Tale!
Generalised Witch categories.
Read the Cruden Tale!
Wiccan: A modern Pagan religion with spiritual roots in the earliest expressions of reverence for nature. There might be a few Wiccans in the Cruden Tale along the way, usually the witches do not specifically identify themselves within the story unless asked.
**Witch: A practitioner of folk magick, particularly that kind relating to herbs, stones, colors, wells, rivers, etc. General term in the Cruden Tale for any who possess the ability to do witchcraft.
Sorcerer: is a Latin term meaning “wrongdoing” or “mischief”, and is used to describe Witches who have become mischevious in using harmful magic. A couple of naughty witches along the way on the wrong side of good and evil.
Pagan/Neo-Pagan/Paganism: General term for followers of Wicca and polytheistic Earth-based religions. Again these type are not usually identified within the tale.
Shaman: A Shaman is an intermediary between this world and the spirit world. In the tale this type of Witch is normally referred to as a Precog, psychic witches.
Warlocks: Normally male witches are referred to as Warlocks, there is confusion as this can have the same meaning as a sorcerer but in the Cruden Tale it is not the case. Warlocks in the tale are males possessing a greater magic than mere Witches on the side of good or bad.
Norse (Volva): Volva means Wand Carrier and these witches are based on Viking descent and beliefs.
