That's true. It's a shame the word has been corrupted to mean something evil or dangerous.

Even now there are " good witches", not just "bad witches", too bad the the meaning of certain words have become perverted to mean something bad or evil.....like the word "fag".....it's original meaning is a bundle of sticks or even meant a cigarette so how did it become such a hateful word to describe someone who is different?

It's very strange and sad what prejudice can do.

I should have added "and fear" to that comment.

Glad they don't trick or treat in our subdivision. Once in a great while I will have 1 or 2 children come by. Have some candy just in case.

Same with us. The practice today is for parents to bundle the kids into the car and drive them to thr wealthiest part of town to trick or treat. My attorney says he gets literally hundreds of beggars each year.
The word "witch" comes from the Old English wicce, meaning "wise woman".
