This is a nice short interview. I think the word witch has a bad reparation. I think of a witch as someone that uses spells to manipulate and manifest things often going against others free will. I do not consider people using nature and the laws of creation to benefit humanity a witch. I think these country witches are just people who learned and stored information about nature to help heal and manage a community where there was no outside help, or money for it.
