    Two different kinds of witches, the women who practice witchcraft, Wicca, or Pagan , we usually call shamans or medicine women.
    But there are mythic witches like Baba Yaga that aren’t human

      In my experience women who practice witchcraft, wicca or pagan, almost invariably call themselves witches.

      The second kind of witch you're describing would more accurately be called a hag.

      What about spiritual advisors? I think they belong in the latter category.

        I’m not sure what a spiritual advisor is, like a village Wise Woman or Mystic Elder? Or like a psychic?
        My English terminology is quickly working against me lol

        Near me we have some people who practice polytheistic Folk religion and a few women that work in Shamanism and “magick craft” (this is my best attempt to use the best translated terms) They visit if you’re sick or struggling, they do therapy, spiritual work, and home remedies, mostly

          No worries. This is a small part of the English language where word definitions are sometimes a bit secretive and interpreted differently by everyone. Your best attempt is a bit clearer than what most native speakers would say.

          Nice work.
