Hedge Witch
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A term denoting a Witch who neither belongs to a coven nor tradition but practices in a solitary fashion. Generally this person relies upon self-study, personal discernment, and intuition. The person does not claim to be initiated. This person leads a life similar to the ancient village witch who was called upon for spells and healing potions by the local people.

А вот как объясняют этимологию :
A hedge witch is very much a free spirit. Hedge witches are also related to the village witches of old. The term, hedge witch, comes from the fact that your average European village, in time gone by, was surrounded by a hedge or woods. Beyond that hedge was unknown land, beyond their known perseption... i.e. the Other World. The village witches of this era usually lived just beyond or just befor this hedge. The hedge was a metiphore for some one who practiced shamanic arts, a walker between the worlds.

Другими словами - ведьма-фрилансер.
Не работает в коллективе. Коллектив ведьм называетсь coven. Их там должно быть 13. |
