Almost anyone is capable of practicing magic, however one must first learn to harness the spiritual energy and supernatural forces that surrounds them in everyday life. Humans who practice magical powers are called "witches". The origin of witchcraft dates back to the beginning of the Earth itself. Since then, witches have existed for many centuries, passing down their knowledge and skills through generations in family lines. Contrary to popular belief, witches do not receive their powers from demons, nor do they worship the Devil. Instead, many witches inherit their magic from nature and may practice their powers however they choose. Depending upon their coven or culture, some witches consider themselves Wiccans, as oppose to Spanish witches who prefer the terms bruja (female) and brujo (male). Solitary practitioners are witches who practice magic alone, however most witches choose to join covens in order to enhance their power and to increase their knowledge of witchcraft.
Coven
In Wicca and other similar forms of modern Neopagan witchcraft, a coven is a community or gathering of witches, a group of believers who gather together for ceremonies of worship, such as Drawing Down the Moon or celebrating the Sabbaths.
Magic
Magic (or Magick) is a method of changing and controlling the natural world (including events, objects, people and physical phenomena) through mystical, paranormal and supernatural means. One who practices magic that derives from occult sources is usually known as a Wiccan, witch, or a necromancer.
