  1. In the play story, the witches had no names, just Witch 1, Witch 2, and Witch 3. But the goddess of the Witches' name was Hecate.


  2. They're referred to as First Witch, Second Witch and Third Witch in the text, and AFIK, they're not mentioned by name anywhere.

  3. i think that Hecate (the queen of the witches) is the only one that is ever named

    The other names mentioned are the names of their 'familiers'

  4. The witches in Macbeth are present in only four scenes in the play, but Macbeth's fascination with them motivates much of the play's action. When they meet with Banquo and Macbeth, they address Macbeth with three titles: thane of Glamis, thane of Cawdor, and king hereafter. Next, they predict that Banquo will father kings, though he will not be king himself. Refusing to answer questions, they vanish.
