Long ago, the term witch was not exclusively used for those who put bad magic spells on people or those who turn people they are annoyed with into frogs.

Lots of people would like to do the latter though but let’s concentrate on witches. In the land of Lego, witches are green and are usually very evil.

Back when the word witch was still not such a negative term, there were white witches and they were usually called cunning folk. A few terms were used to describe them but one of the most popular is the word “good”. Good witches were usually wise women or men who were capable of healing. They were also thought to be capable of harming other people hence the term witch was also used in a negative light.

Ancient texts from Babylon and Egypt talk about malicious magic that had the power to make people sick or bring bad luck. Sometimes they are so powerful that they can cause sudden death.

According to those that practiced white witchcraft, they adhere to certain ethical codes that is why they are not allowed to any type of magic on someone unless requested by that very person.

In Europe, pagans used to believe that dealing with witchcraft was an influence of the goddess Diana which of course by the time Christendom came was considered as a diabolical fantasy.

Lego witches may harm other Lego minifigs but since they are very sturdy, Lego witches have to work hard to eliminate an enemy.

There are good witches in the land of Lego though –take Harry Potter and his group of friends for example. They can be considered as good witches because they always save the day no matter what and even if you know who tries to stop them on their tracks.
