Are witches and wizards real

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.
