good witch

Kind magical practitioner

A good witch is a witch who uses magical powers for benevolent purposes rather than harm.

The term contrasts with the malevolent witches of folklore and fairy tales: Glinda is the good witch in The Wizard of Oz.

In modern usage, it often describes practitioners of Wicca or similar spiritual traditions who emphasize healing and positive intentions.
