A woman wizard who doesn't like to be called a witch because not only does that give the instant image of an ugly old hag, it rhymes with b*tch. A sorceress is usually very attractive. She has magical powers, casts spells on broken fingers, and does voodoo to make sure that everything goes her way. Sorceresses do NOT ride on broomsticks as they give terrible wedgies. They drive 2007 Mustang GT's.
A female, superior being that is able to cast spells and perform other acts of magic, such as controlling water, fire, or wind; or being able to transformthe state or natural being of things, objects, or people.
Sometimes I think that lady next door must be a sorceress with all her black cats she has around. She must have twenty of them!
