Witchcraft
This is the category where your questions about witches and witchcraft as a spiritual path should go. Based on an ancient shamanistic way of life, witchcraft is a spiritual system known as "The Craft of the Wise" and were a valuable part of villages and communities. Practitioners were the healers and leaders of their people. Modern witches follow the cycles of the sun, the moon and the seasons of the earth for guidance and knowledge. Most, but not all witches practice some form of magic in its true meaning.

Witches were and are capable of doing anything that any other human being is capable of doing. We are not mythical creatures we are regular people like everyone else who just so happen to have a different view on the world and a belief and knowledge of things supernatural.
As a matter of fact, yes, witches do, and always have, and forever will exist. Witches, of all kinds being white, black and grey, they've always been around since the dawn of time.
Not that they are the kind of people who fly on broomsticks and carry a black cat with them, witches are people who feel that magic is something that could be used for all sorts of reason.
What household tool is a witch said to ride?
A broomstick. the reasons withches would enchant broomsticks is because there small light wieght simple house tools they could hide or put anywhere and no one would expect it to do anything magical cause it's just a broom.
The correct term for a "witches" broom is Besom.
The use of a besom was common in the "burning times" because it was an innocuous, common place item that could "hide" a staff or wand. (Either or both of which could have you accused, tried, tortured and burned for witchcraft)
It was also associated most commonly with women who tended to make up the larger portion of the population of assumed "witches".
The image of a naked, misshapen, hag riding a broom across a night sky was created as part of a propaganda campaign to vilify pagans.
In a time when most people did not/could not read, images conveyed the ideas to the masses.
There is some thought that the broomstick used in these images was also intended as a phallic symbol. Suggesting that practitioner of paganism, specifically the woman, (as it was not inappropriate for men) were promiscuous and therefore additionally vile.

That is the correct spelling of the word "answer" (a reply, a solution, or to reply).
Of course they are. Some people are born with it and others just practice it. It is a skill you either have or to master.
A Pagan PerspectiveIn my considerable experience there are both Witches and Wizards alive and practicing their craft in the world today.A Witch is generally a practitioner of magics, within a structured spiritual path.
A man or woman (the word is NOT gender specific), who follows one of many spiritual paths that include the manipulation of naturally occurring powers, and elements by their hand and will.
Not all practitioners of magic call or consider themselves witches, nor do all people who call or consider themselves witches practice magic.
A Wizard is generally a practitioner of the science of magics, not usually within a spiritual path.
A man or woman (once again the word is NOT gender specific), who researches, studies and experiments with the naturally occurring powers, and elements sometimes called "magic."
In my experience, unlike Witches, all Wizards work with and/or practice the science of magic.

Color Green

Green is the color of nature, fertility, life. Grass green is the most restful color. Green symbolizes self respect and well being. Green is the color of balance. It also means learning, growth and harmony. Green is a safe color, if you don't know what color to use somewhere then use green.
Green is favored by well balanced people. Green symbolizes the master healer and the life force. It often symbolizes money. It was believed green was healing for the eyes. Egyptians wore green eyeliner. Green eye shades are still used. You should eat raw green foods for good health. Friday is the day of green. Green jade is a sacred stone of Asia.
Green Energy
Green contains the powerful energies of nature, growth, desire to expand or increase. Balance and a sense of order are found in the color green. Change and transformation is necessary for growth, and so this ability to sustain changes is also a part of the energy of green.
Put some green in your life when you want:

For those who unaware, this is a form of sympathetic magic.
What is Sympathetic contagious magic and whitchcraft?
Sympathetic Magic is a term which is used to describe magic of "likes". ie. you want to pay a debt, you use a cheque in your spell, made out in the full amount of the debt or you use seeds to "grow" a wish.
I have never encountered contagious magic.
Witchcraft is in part, but not exclusively, the practice of magic in its many and varied forms.
Second Answer
These terms are classifications of historical magical practices made by Sir James Frazer in his book The Golden Bough. The term Sympathetic magic is an umbrella term for the principles of Similarity and Contagion. Similarity being the principle in magic which likes cause likes. So as an example would be a certain Jewish love charm was created with the names of the desired recipients and along with other rituals in scripted with a phrase that asks the angels to burn the heart of a certain man then later also saying the eyes of the woman to be lighted like a candle. After finished the amulet was to be burned in a fire. The law of Contagion says that once a person has touch or owned something it creates a bond, which can be used magically, that can never be broken. An example would be using someone's fingernails in a curse. A voodoo doll is a perfect example of both principles. You need the victim's hair to cast the curse and the action of sticking in pins creates the pain or misfortune. These forms of classification are cross cultural and purely historical.
Why do you need magic in life?
True magic can be used for a lot of things like:giving people/things bad or good luck, helping a person fall in love and so on but just like every thing in life you must study/do research to gain knowledge and in magic/the arts you must do the following things to get the best results which is:you must do the mathematics,the probability(chance) and you must have a strong will and mind to do magic and once you do the math, and add in the probability(which is chance) you will get results in some form.So with magic you can do lots of things to help you out in life from luck to weather and so on you just have to do the math,the probability,and a little meditation and you will get results in some form you may get what you want and you may not get what you want and that's how true magic works you don't get what you want all the time and that's the same thing with life.
