Witches' Guild

Description

This guild is very unusual in that it only accepts those of the female persuasion. It is a magical guild, but not the magic of wizards and mages. Witch magic is the magic of herbs, cursing, flying around, and most importantly, headology.

The prominent witches of the Discworld will be able to tell you more about headology; either Granny Weatherwax or Ogg-San can be particularly helpful (you'll need to see one of these two witches to join the guild). So, if you think you have what it takes to learn how to know what is real, what is not, and how to tell the difference, then give the Witches' Guild a go!

The Witches' Guild is based in two places: the surroundings of Lancre, where Granny, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat Garlick will be able to greet you, and Bes Pelargic, on the Counterweight Continent. If you need help getting to Granny's place from Ankh-Morpork, just go see good old Gennie Applebottom on Holofernes street in Ankh-Morpork. She'll help you out, as will almost any witch! And don't forget, witches prefer to use the back door to enter a house.
