Esmerelda (Granny) Weatherwax |

Where Nanny was the Grandmother you wouldn't mind visiting,
Granny is the exact opposite. Granny is the unofficial leader (for want of a better word.) of the Lancre Coven which includes, Nanny Ogg, Magrat Garlick and sometimes Agnes Nitt. Granny doesn't use magic, she uses what she calls "Headology" which is sometimes a lot more difficult. She has on occasions participated in something called "Borrowing" where she enters the mind of an animal as somewhat of a passenger, seeing and feeling the same sensations as the animal in question. Granny is not a woman to be trifled with. |
