In Wiccan and Neopagan circles, "white lighter" is usually a derogatory description of a member with an excessively positive (think Glinda the Good Witch) theology, a witch who leans heavily toward New Age beliefs (the moniker makes light of New Age preoccupation with 'white light' or 'light energy'), or one who refuses to associate with or acknowledge the existence of negative magick or Pagans who follow non "politically correct" paths such as Satanism or Vodoun. The phrase is sometimes used as a self-descriptor and is not always intended as an insult.
