grupo de personagens dos romances de Discworld de Terry Pratchett
Um subconjunto importante dos romances de Discworld de Terry Pratchett envolve as bruxas de Lancre. Aparecendo sozinha em Equal Rites de 1987, a 'anciã' Esme Weatherwax é acompanhada em Wyrd Sisters pela 'mãe' Nanny Ogg e pela 'donzela' Magrat Garlick, e juntas podem ser vistas como uma paródia das Três Bruxas em Macbeth de Shakespeare, e uma reinterpretação bem-humorada da Tríplice Deusa dos Neopagãos. Granny Weatherwax "especialmente tende a dar voz aos principais temas da obra de Pratchett."

“When I consider the Question, Whether there are such Persons in the World as those we call Witches? my Mind is divided between the two opposite Opinions; or rather (to speak my Thoughts freely) I believe in general that there is, and has been such a thing as Witchcraft; but at the same time can give no Credit to any Particular Instance of it.”
“We were apparently rather resistant to the idea of destroying witches in England, unlike views espoused in so-called books — and I use the word "book" very loosely — like The Da Vinci Code. [pretends to spit in disgust] It is complete loose stool water. It is arse-gravy of the worst kind.”
“To save the witch-children in Nigeria and rescue this nation from witch-believing forces, we need to get all Nigerians to exercise their common sense, reason and critical intelligence when practicing or professing their religion or belief. This is especially important when they are reading, preaching and interpreting messages and doctrines contained in their holy books.”
“Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt.”
“The result is the same whether she confesses or not. If she confesses, her guilt is clear; she is executed. All recantation is in vain. If she does not confess, the torture is repeated—twice, thrice, four times. In exceptional crimes, the torture is not limited in duration, severity, or frequency.”
“In the past, men created witches: now they create mental patients.”
