Witches

**__Witches__** __Habitat:__ Evil witches tend to live in isolated areas where they can practice their magic freely; their houses are usually shacks in the woods and they’re mostly seen at night. Good witches often live in majestic castles and love daytime.

 __Diet:__ A lot of evil witches feed off the souls of mortals and others have even been known to eat children.

 __Defense__: Both good and evil witches use magic to defend themselves. The only difference is evil witches always use curses and other dark magic to hurt someone who doesn’t deserve it. While good witches use magic to resolve fights peacefully. __Historical and Cultural Significance:__ The history of witches is a very long and bloody history. During the medieval times and Renaissance and even now in some cases witches were considered to be people overcome by sin and the devil. Therefore we have cases like the salem witch trials were there were more than 200 people condemned as witches. Witches have also appeared in ’s like William Shakespeare's “Hamlet” and have made a large significance today in movies and even Halloween. (Here is my part of the mythical creature’s project)



Good Witch: good witches tend to wear white, have really soft voices, and do only good majic. They tend to be giggly and everything nice. They are nice to a point of a flaw.

Bad witches: They are dark and ugly and tend to be evil. They have a snarly laugh and find joy in other peoples pain. They cast curses and vexes. __Black, Grey, & White Magic__:  http://www.spellsandmagic.com/spells.html
