taken from A Witch Alone by Marian Green
"Another valuable task certainly carried out by the witches of old, as they served their communities, was that called, in the Celtic Church, 'Soul Friends'. These people, men and women, were respected for the way they lived their lives and would be freely consulted by anyone in trouble, of heart, mind or spirit. It was possible to discuss spiritual or emotional matters with them, in a lonely grove or quiet garden. There was no offering of forgiveness by an unsanctified preisthood, but gentle comfort, support or guidance. All these things have been sadly neglected in our hurried world."
