white witch

Good magic practitioner

A white witch practices magic intended for benevolent purposes—healing, protection, or blessing rather than cursing or harm.

The term distinguishes practitioners of so-called good magic from those associated with malevolent witchcraft.

In fantasy literature and popular culture, white witches often appear as wise healers or nature-aligned figures: The white witch of the village was consulted for remedies and charms.
