As has been said before, I too shy away from the term "witch." Although, I have been known to use it when I'm talking with my friends.

I've had some people come up to me like "You know, I wanna be a witch too." I'll ask them if they've done any reading or talked to anyone. And then I get shown "The Charmed Book of Shadows." Well, I suppose we should be thankful that atleast people don't think we're Satanists anymore.
