What is a witch?

Question 9 of my survey was:
Explain what you think being a witch is?

The most common words to describe a witch were;
1. Black magic
2. Spells
3. Nature
4. Influential
5. Alternative

This suggests that a large proportion of the people who responded on my survey were open minded people who thought witches were people who are outside of 'normal' society but they live in a balance with nature and are influential within their social groups or the rest of society.

Other words that were used were:
Hobby
Groups
Female
Old
Cauldron
Earth
Help
Magic
Tradition
Belief
Religion
Cool
Awesome
Supernatural
Wicca
Balance
Skill
Potions
Harmless
