The Witch may be the lonely child who hovers on the edge of social groups, misunderstood by those around him/her because he/she is in some way 'different'.
Seeing things, hearing things and being aware of things that others are not.
Such a person is one who dwells a little apart from the everyday world and sees further than it's boundaries.
Seems to me that a witch can also be the person who integrates perfectly, because they have a sense of what a person needs, and can give them that, whiist remaining their own person.
Part of and yet seperate.
Accepted completely and yet not accepting.
Do others view you as an outsider or is it that you see yourself as one.
I think perhaps it is both, and as an outsider you will always have curiosity value combined with polite conversational avoidence of what you do. Until that is, things go wrong for people, and they start getting experiences beyond what they might term the norm.
If I'm honest I've always been a bit of a loner. I have many friends (and people who I would definately call 'real' friends) but on the whole I much prefer my own company.
I've never been one for groups. I've always been the one that can flit from group to group without really belonging to any of them.
In fact, I really don't feel as though I belong anywhere. Even within my own family I often feel like the outsider.
Things that are important to them just aren't important to me and vice versa.
People have always seen me as a bit odd but fortunately 'odd' good not 'odd' bad. Well, most people anyway.
All of this rings bells with me, too. I've always been a loner, and being adopted always felt like the cuckoo in the nest, as if I didn't belong. I often had the feeling as if I was on the outside, looking in.
I can relate to the feeling of being a bit disjointed from other people's expectations. My family refer to me as always having been 'a bit strange' and at school it was the same.
I make acquaintances easily but real friends, people I actually trust, are a different matter. I would not describe myself as being lonely but have frequently chosen to be alone.
If there are two paths to take,one is easy and one is difficult you can bet your bottom dollar that I will always take the difficult path - I just can't help doing so !
