[edit] Fetch
Correct me if im wrong but i thought that a fetch was a type of spell a witch could cast, at least thats what i had been taught. Grey witch 11:16, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- A fetch has similar but slightly different meanings depending on who you ask. The Germanic magical people (Seiðr, Asatru etc) say that it is a part of the soul of a person, possibly one of the subtle bodies, somewhere in the etheric/astral. It is a shape-changer and comes to you at birth. This then would be able to fare forth from your physical body and perform certain work at a distance, possibly with the witch's consciousness going along for the ride, so that the witch experiences traveling as an animal, flying, etc.
- A fetch can also, as you say, be a spell, but this is actually the same thing. It involves sending some of your essence out to perform some work. If you're thinking of it as a spell, you're probably not sending quite so much consciousness out with the fetch.
- And in a coven environment, or between covens, a fetch is, in some people's terminology, the Summoner or go-between. And of course the similarity between a coven fetch and a personal fetch is more than just superficial. Fuzzypeg☻ 05:30, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
