"Apothecary (pron.: /əˈpɒθɨkəri/) is a historical name for a medical professional who formulates and dispenses materia medica to physicians, surgeons and patients — a role now served by a pharmacist (or a chemist or dispensing chemist) and some caregivers. In addition to pharmacy responsibilities, the apothecary offered general medical advice and a range of services that are now performed solely by other specialist practitioners, such as surgery and midwifery. Apothecaries often operated through a retail shop."
Today, I see many witches as apothecaries, especially those who operate small businesses like...

or The Mother Moon Pagan Monasteries. http://www.themoonmother.net/The_Moon_Mother/A_Space_of_Love.html
Nothing says pagan to me more than freshly cultivated herbs, lovingly measured and mixed by the talented hands of an herbalist...a natural healer.
