There is no *power* in the universe that is unique to "witches," i.e., those who practice witchcraft. Sorry, but there are no such things as hereditary witches, shapeshifters, werewolves, or vampires.
Put simply, a *witch* takes the mythologies of *the gods*, and applies that mythology to his/her individual life for a better life. Witchcraft's power comes from "inside" the witch through mythology and psychology, and from "outside" by the forces of nature and the planetary objects of our solar system.
If you are an honest seeker of witchcraft, and wish to have a better life through magick and myth, you might want to take a look at a wonderful book titled "Above Below Within: Planetary Magick and the Greek Gods". The book dispells the sily notions presented in the previous post. It helps guide a newbie (as well as misled adepts) into a better life, and takes away the b.s. of politically correct Wiccan thought, internet academics, and outright silliness of Hollywood-style approaches to the occult.
The book Above Below Within can be found easily at www.nolamagick.com at the "books to buy and burn" page.
I wish you the best in your pursuit of witchcraft and the occult.
