ANSWER

That depends on what era you are talking about, and what the witch was specifically asked to do. Commonly, witches of old were called upon to protect and watch over women giving birth (midwives), use herbs and other items in healing illness and injury, give advice on spiritual or other protection, teach, and so on. Today witches can do much the same thing.

Witches in a magickal context exist within many cultures. A witch is a practitioner of magick and spell craft. They are most often associated with the Neo-Pagan tradition, although Witchcraft still exists in many tribal societies in much the same form as ancient times.

Answer 2:

In my opinon: Witches (in the magical context) don't exist. What I mean with that is witches like the ones you see in movies. And if someone says they are a witch (in the magical context) they are lying. Quite easy to be honest. So they will not be able to curse you or anyone else...unless you believe in what they do; in which case anything will look like it was caused by a curse or "magical incantaion" etc.

If anything, a 'witch' is someone who has a vast knowledge on herbs and remedies like the person above wrote but I just wanted to clarify that the only way a 'witch' can harm you is if you 1. believe in magical nonsense and 2. if they somehow manage to poison or influence you in some kind of way with a herb.
