A witch, also known as a sorcerer or warlock, is a person with the power to effect change by magical means aka witchcraft".
There are three types of witches:
- Natural witches are born with magical abilities e.g. Rowena.
- Trained witches who are trained or mentored by mentored by Grand Coven approved witches e.g. Alicia Banes.
- "Borrowers" who gain their power through deals with demons e.g. Amanda Burns, Elizabeth and Renee Van Allen.
Some witches also have a companion known as a familiar who can appear in either animal or human form. It is notable that hunters like Sam, Dean and Bobby often use the same spells and rituals, but would not consider themselves witches.
Witches can be extremely long lived and very powerful. Only three of the witches encountered have been killed by Sam or Dean.
The Grand Coven is a council of witches who ruled and controlled the affairs of witches and guarded the lore. However, the Grand Coven and the witch community is now greatly weakened, after any years of attacks and witch hunts coupled with an organised effort by the Men of Letters to plunder them or their spell books and records, which they hid in various spell-guarded bunkers around the world. When a witch dies, willow moss is said to grow on the graves, making them easily identifiable to hunters.[1]

Witches in real life and lore
The term witch in its broadest sense refers to a person who claims to tap into some form of supernatural power. These people exists in cultures around the world, and may take the role of a healer or wise person in a community. Their powers could be used for either good or harm. The modern use of the term and its associations are rooted in the pogroms of the Middle Ages, against people, particularly women, who practiced any form of belief or healing that could be deemed anti-Christian. During these witch hunts in Europe and later North America, tens of thousands of people were tortured and killed based on the justification that they were in league with Satan.
Malleus Maleficarum, usually translated as The Hammer of Witches in Latin, was the title of a fifteenth century treatise on witches. It was used to support and argue the nature of witchcraft; it proclaimed that women were more susceptible to the influence of evil, and therefore more likely to become witches, due to their weak moral character and insatiable sexual desire. The treatise proved popular and became the de facto handbook for the persecution and murder of women accused of witchcraft across Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, despite the fact that the work was not officially sanctioned by the Catholic Church. The Church in fact refused to support it and said it was inaccurate.
In the 20th and 21st century, people who follow a form of Neopaganism may refer to themselves as witches. The most well known of these is Wicca, which originated in the 1930s, although its beliefs are formed on older pagan cultures such as those of the Celts and the Greeks. The religion involves the ritual practice of magic.
