Wood Witch

Wood Witch

Ever heard of a Wood Witch? Well, if you watched Game of Thrones, you would have seen "Maggy" the wood's witch that lived near Casterly Rock and who read Cersei's fortune when she was a teen.  She foretold that Cersei would marry a king, not a prince and she would be queen until someone younger cast her down.  She also forewarned Cersei that she would have three children who would have golden hair and shrouds of gold. 

So what is a wood's witch? They are likely to be local or travelling herb-women who use traditional healing, and perhaps simple spells and charms to heal the sick or help the needy. They have also been known to have prophetic dreams. Their knowledge is apparently passed down from woman to woman and often set up their "shops" in the woods outside of villages. 

The woods witch was created in the imagination of George RR Martin. In the real witch world, a woods witch would be called a Forest Witch or perhaps a Hedge Witch...let's not get their ire up...they are very good at hexing!

Cheers! 🍷
