Besides the obvious like those in Eastern Europe. I was thinking of in Southern Europe, Northern Europe, etc.

What do you mean by "real witches"? Are you talking about cultures that have witches in their folklore?

There are no real witches, Winterfall8324. Do you mean people who imagine themselves to be witches? Probably there are a few of them in every country.

Witches are in the eye of the beholders.

I know quite a few witches in Italy. By witches I mean those who practice the occult, divination. I know a lot, even men.

This. An actual community of people that practice dark magic, etc. that’s what I mean.

No, practicing dark magic, curses, etc. and following the witch way makes you one.

What makes you think that all witches practice "dark magic"?

Do witches necessarily have to practice dark magic? Aren’t there such a thing as good witches? Also do these people actually believe their positions and spells work? I’ve also heard in Medieval times witches were basically herbalists, the good ones would try to heal people, and the bad ones where essentially drug dealers.
