SOLITARY: A Witch who practices Witchcraft or Wicca and worships alone rather than as a member of a coven. During the early growth of Witchcraft and Wicca in neo-Pagan circles one had to be initiated by another Witch, but as Craft traditions changed and became more liberal, it became acceptable to initiate one’s self.

Many solitaries have belonged to various covens and have decided they prefer being alone; others opt to be solitaries to protect their privacy.
