Your Complete Guide to the Mythical Creatures of Game of Thrones

Witches are a group of women in Westeros with the ability to command different forms of magic. Some, like Melisandre, are able to raise the dead, create shadow demons, and prolong their lives through the aid of magic talismans. Others, like Maggy the woods witch, can foretell the future. Even more, like Mirri Maz Duur, the witch who felled Khal Drogo, can wield blood magic and use it to exact vengeance on their enemies.

Witch is not necessarily a proper classification, as it encompasses a wide range of women with different magical abilities.
