As magic-users, witches generally learn spells as they do. Their types of patrons, whether gods, goddesses, beast spirits, demons, devils, elementals, fairies, fates, nature spirits, undead spirits, or vampire lords, determine which ones they are more likely to know.
Unlike priestesses, nature priestesses, barbarian clerics, and seeresses, witches aren't necessarily as formal, public, feral, or traditional in their devotion to divinities or spirits. Unlike sorceresses, fey enchantresses, or hedge wizards, witches aren't always as chaotic and obscure, arbitrary and whimsical, or rustic. And unlike wizards and warlocks, they may not focus on conceptual understandings, or have an insidious source of power, whether asked for or not. Witches are eclectic, so their approaches are odd, combining the ways of various classes, even if they access many of the same spells as them.
Whatever the case, they abide by the guidelines below.
