Especially Nordic witches.Some witches are shamanic, Psionic, such as various animistic cultures, including shamans and witchdoctors and medicinefolkSome witches are fay. Especially, Scot witches from the Renaissance and earlier, who interacted with the Elf queen and were often healers. Psionic or Primal or Arcane  (In D&D the source for the Feywild is ambiguous.)Some witches are theistic, Divine, such as Greek Hecate.Some witches are devilish, Divine or Arcane, such as certain grimoire descriptions from continental Europe.Some witches are protoscientific, Arcane or Primal, or Divine in the sense of cosmic force such as elementalism, such as Celtic traditions of Druid and Bard potion making, or Roman Period Hellenistic "magi" amuletic use of plants and gems.Probably, the most important question is whether they themself is the power source internally, such as psychic or a family of psychics, or something else is the power source externally, such as harnessing the magical properties that are inherent in different kinds of plants and gems, or gaining the assistance of a spirit who does tasks.</blockquote>
