Ah, witches. On Discworld, they're less about pointy hats and bubbling cauldrons, and more about... well, not being organized. Think of them as the ultimate independent contractors, but with more cats and a serious aversion to meetings. They definitely, absolutely, positively do not have leaders. Nope, not a one.
Except, of course, for Granny Weatherwax, who, despite the vehement denials of every witch within a hundred miles, was, shall we say, the most "respected" of the non-existent leaders. She's like the head of a club that insists it doesn't exist, and everyone just kind of goes along with it because, frankly, arguing with Granny is a bad life choice.
Now, if you want to witness the glorious chaos that ensues when you throw Granny Weatherwax into a situation with her "sidekicks" (who she'd definitely say are just "people who happen to be in the same general vicinity"), you've got three prime examples:
EQUAL RITES: Imagine telling a wizarding school that girls can't do magic. Then imagine Granny Weatherwax having something to say about it. That's basically this book. We get to watch Eskarina, the girl who didn't get the "no girls allowed" memo, learn the ropes (or, in this case, the pointy stick) with Granny's "reluctant" assistance. It's like a magical boot camp, but with more sarcasm.
WYRD SISTERS: Granny decides to try her hand at political theater, which, as it turns out, is less about dramatic monologues and more about trying to stop a kingdom from going completely bonkers. Think Shakespeare, but with more magical interference and significantly less iambic pentameter.
WITCHES ABROAD: Picture a road trip with three witches: Granny, the no-nonsense one; Nanny Ogg, the one who brings the "party" (and by party, I mean questionable songs and even more questionable snacks); and Magrat Garlick, the one who's trying to introduce crystals and aromatherapy to a world that's mostly just trying to survive. They're on a mission to stop a fairytale from happening, because apparently, even happily ever afters need a bit of witchy intervention. It's basically "European Vacation," but with broomsticks and a lot more existential dread.
