This week we are diving into different types of witches, and I will just say it now.  This episode is not going to be the episode you are expecting when I say types of witches.  Even when I threw this topic to the podcast guide I follow, I thought it was going to be what you are thinking.  But my research has found a hidden door and we are going through it!
