DefinedThe concept of the "witch" can be found in EVERY world culture and language in some form or another. Be it kahuna, hexe, strega, bruja, baobh, bacularia or makhsheyfe; the thought that lies behind it is still the same. So -- Where did the word come from? What does it exactly mean? -and- How did it become such a universal principle? EtymologyEtymology traces the development of a word-form from its earliest recorded occurrence in a language to the present day. Because language is a living entity, words, spellings and meanings are constantly changing. This means that the history of a word and its possible etymology *may not* necessarily coincide. However, I included it in my notes because many people will use etymology as a definitive factor in their arguments for the origins of the witch and witchcraft. —WITCH—Word's OriginPersonally, I don't think it really matters where the word 'witch' came from; after all, there is no finite way to prove or disprove its origins. Besides, I am far more interested in where the word is going, than where its' been. If you are interested in the etymology of the word "witch", visit my research page on Etymology. witch [1] n. -es [ME wyche, from OE wice, wic; probably akin to OE wïcan to yield, give way-more at weak]: any of several trees having pliant branches.[2] n. -es [ME wicche, from OE wicca, masculine, wizard and wicce feminine, witch; akin to OE wiccian to practice witchcraft, MHG wicken to bewitch, to divine, OE wigle divination, wiglian to divine, wïg idol, image ON yé temple -- more at victim] 1.a dialect British : Wizard, Sorcerer b.(1) : a woman practicing the black arts: sorceress

Real WitchesReal Witches DO NOT...... Hurt people physically, mentally, spiritually, or magickally. Real witches have taken an oath to help people, not hurt people. You are not a real witch if you do hurt others. Take illegal drugs. It is against the law, and it messes our bodys and minds up. Why bother??? It screws up our mind, and a witches magick will not work if our mind doesn't. Work black magick. Witches know whether in this world or the astral world, whatever you do comes back three times three times three. If you do good stuff you will be rewarded, if you do bad stuff you will pay the price, and so dearly you will pay. Wiccans have a saying that goes: Ever mind the rule of three, what you send out comes back to thee. Fly in the sky on brooms. We drive vehicles like evryone else. Eat babies. We love babies, and plus...ew! Kill animals. We love animals, they are the goddess' creatures, we love pets and honor our pets like everyone else. Call themselves "Warlocks". Warlock means truth twister and betrayer. A witch is called a witch no matter what gender. Steal or break the law. We think that stealing from someone else is like stealing from ourselves, and that would just be stupid. Summon demons. How stupid do you think we are??? Worship the Christian devil. We don't belive in Satan.. To name somthing is to give it power, we don't wish to give power to evil things. Belive in the Christian hell. We belive that when we do bad things we will pay either in this life or the next. Brainwash people to join us. We belive in the power of free will. Use satanic symbols. The witches penticle, or five pointed star with a circle around it represents the four elements of life, and the body surrounded by the love of the spirit. Become witches over night. It takes alot of dedication and study to become an adept wiccan, we don't say a word then we are a witch, it doesen't work like that. Always work magick. We do alot, but we also prey to our maker and the angels above. Work magic on somone without their permission. If you do a spell on someone without their knowledge it will return to you times three. We belive in free will, don't destroy that!巫婆的定义:A woman claiming or popularly believed to possess magical powers and practice sorcery.A believer or follower of Wicca; a Wiccan.A hag.A woman considered to be spiteful or overbearing.Informal.

随着The Witcher 3的上市，这个系列又成为了玩家们茶余饭后的谈资。三部游戏的官方繁体中文译名一直为“巫师”。然而，随着游戏的火爆，要求“巫师”改名的呼声越来越高。在近期出版的简体中文小说中，此单词被翻译成了“猎魔人”，也正式成为了该系列的官方译名（台译为猎魔士）。于是乎，在网络上，一些支持“狩魔猎人/猎魔人”翻译的朋友开始对“巫师”这个译名甚至用这个译名的网友们进行了全面嘲讽及奚落。然而，对于这么想得朋友们，我想首先问你们一个问题，为什么英文不直接用Demon/ Monster Hunter来指代此职业而偏偏造出Witcher这么一个词呢？难道真是纯属偶然才让这个词长得跟Witch这么像吗？要解决这个问题，要从头说起。Witcher——这个英文单词第一次被创造出来即是游戏的标题。你可能会问了，不是先出的小说吗，怎么会是游戏首先用的这个名字？事实上，在游戏之前，这套小说并没有正式被翻译成英文。在2001到2002年，先后出过一部电影和一部电视剧，但是英文名并不是Witcher而是Hexer（同样可意为巫师或者会妖法的人）。而2008年的游戏则抛弃了这个英文译名而改用了Witcher, 随着游戏的走红，后来的翻译者在接下来几年陆续将原著翻译成了英文，沿用了The Witcher这个译名。
