It would be nice if 'witch' were not so culture-centric. The concept of witch is much broader than that of the celts. Classical literature and mythology is full of people with powers - remember Hecate, after all, is Greek. Thracian witches are a commonplace of Greek and Latin literature - Horace's Satire 1 is a mockery of witch-women doing some kind of ritual in a graveyard and being scared off. --MichaelTinkler
Yeah, thats the next step, but its already better than the wicca-centric version that was there. Asian cultures have a pretty creepy version of what a witch is, so right there, "bad" connotations outway "wicca" connotatations. I would be prone to place less common versions tagged as an "other cultures" subheading in this entry since mostmostmost people would stop right there finding what they need.
