In Medieval Europe and Britain,“Cunning
Women” were often called Wicce—an Anglo-Saxon
word meaning “shaper”—from which we get our
term “Witch.” This word, in turn, comes from Middle
High German wicken (“to conjure”). Modern Witches include both men and women, and much of their magick is directed towards healing, of people and the Earth. Many
Witches also practice divination and magickal techniques for the evolution of consciousness.
