A witch for mael- In the realm of magic and mystery, where the lines between reality and folklore blur, witches have long held a fascination for many. These spell-casting enchantresses have been depicted in various forms throughout history, captivating our imagination with their powers and abilities. They have been both feared and revered, embodying the duality of light and dark, good and evil. For ages, witches have been associated with broomsticks, pointy hats, and cauldrons bubbling with potions. They have been linked to supernatural abilities such as casting spells, brewing potions, and communing with spirits. Witches are often depicted as women who possess a deep understanding of natural herbs and the mystical properties they hold.
Q: Who would you say your book A Brigit of Ireland Devotional is aimed at, and can you say a bit about what’s inside?
I strongly advise being respectful of the cultures that gave rise to her, to read the old Lives of Saint Brigit , to learn about her folk traditions, and to read at least the portions of the old texts where the goddess Brigit is mentioned. at one point bugg does to the gravel quarry to investigate the disapearence of someone and they find a demon, a khalibaral or something, and a jaghut witch comes then to prevent the escape of the demon, its that jaghut witch.
Witches are often depicted as women who possess a deep understanding of natural herbs and the mystical properties they hold. They are said to harness the energy of the moon and tap into the forces of nature in their rituals and practices. The archetype of the witch has been deeply ingrained in popular culture and folklore, often portrayed as cackling hags or seductive sorceresses.
Malazan Empire: What Jaghut Witch? - Malazan Empire
When the Ceda and Mael worked together to trap the Edur sea demon, Mael called on a Jaghut to seal the demon in ice. Here's the actual quote:
Bugg closed his eyes. Jaghut witch, hear me. Recall my favor at the quarry? The time has come for . reciprocity.
She replied in his mind, distant yet swiftly closing. 'I hear you little man. I know what you seek. ah, you are a clever one indeed. '
Oh, I cannot take all the credit, this time.
What Jaghut witch? As far as I remember the only Jaghut in MT was Gothos, who Mael spoke with in the prologue. Gothos is not a witch, and is certainly not female! I am afraid I don't recall a quarry or another Jaghut. Can somebody remind me?

Being confronted with the problem, where to give the frozen demon, without nosy humans digging it out again, she asks Bugg "if he knows, where to give him", and he brings it under the fourth wing of the Eternal Domicil, where she seals it in ICE (in this way successfully shoring the wing), so it really pays to be nice to a jaghut.

Sorry for hooking,
for compensation i looked for the quotes.(2004 Bantam)
Actually it was the 5th wing, proof i do not know it by heart.
p.333; ". Now i need to find for him somewhere else. Any suggestions?
Bugg considered for a time, then he smiled."
p.467; ". The fifth wing. I´ve managed to successfully shore up the foundations - Already? Why that´s extraordinary.
It is, isn´t it. in any case, its chilly in this tunnels. now."
p.536; ". There have been some complaints about the cold draughts in the Fifth Wing, but that´s not my problem, strictly speaking.
Why the cold draughts, Bugg?
Presumably related to the shoring methods i employed, but they don´t know that."
I remembered, cause i enjoyed the solution very much. Obviously Bugg using his power over sediment/water brought the demon there and Huntress sealed it, and this was the favor the manservant called in later.

From the iconic witches of Macbeth to the modern witches of Harry Potter, their presence is ubiquitous. These literary and cinematic representations have shaped our perception of witches, sometimes connecting them to the forces of darkness and evil, while other times showing them as misunderstood outcasts. Beyond the realm of fiction, the study and practice of witchcraft have gained renewed interest in recent years. Modern witches, known as Wiccans, follow a religious and spiritual path that embraces nature and its cycles. They believe in the interconnectedness of all things and seek to create harmony between themselves and the world around them. Witches often incorporate rituals, spells, and divination into their practice, drawing on ancient wisdom and modern interpretations. In the modern world, witches have also become symbols of empowerment and feminism. They challenge traditional gender roles and societal expectations, embracing their own power and autonomy. They advocate for social justice and equality, often aligning themselves with marginalized groups and fighting against oppression. The witch has become a rallying figure for those seeking to break free from societal constraints and reclaim their own agency. However, it is important to remember that the image of the witch is not limited to any one gender or identity. Men can also be witches, and witchcraft is a practice open to all who are drawn to it, regardless of their gender or background. Witchcraft is a personal path, and each practitioner brings their own unique perspective and experiences to their practice. In conclusion, the concept of a witch for mael encompasses the rich tapestry of history, folklore, spirituality, and empowerment associated with witches. Whether they are depicted as ancient crones, enchanting sorceresses, or modern practitioners of Wicca, witches continue to captivate our imagination and challenge our preconceived notions. They are a fascinating symbol of magic and mystery, reminding us of the power and possibility that lies beyond the veil of the everyday..
