Should we redirect the 3 witch links to this page? Evercat 22:28, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

1 Sorry?
2 Black Aliss being responsible for the sleeping castle...
3 Magrat
4 Splitting the page?
5 Agnes Nitt
6 Voodoo

[edit] Sorry?

I got told off for writing nonsense on this page, and I assume it was for my link between Agnes being able to sing in thirds with herself, and Conker's bad fur day's Great Mighty Poo, who is also blessed with this power. I know it's slightly irrelevent, so what do we think?

[edit] Black Aliss being responsible for the sleeping castle...

Having just finished reading Witches Abroad today, I noticed something debatable on this page. Black Aliss is credited with putting a castle to sleep, but I thought it was made clear in Witches Abroad that the castle was put to sleep by Lily Weatherwax on her way to Genua. When everyone in the castle woke up, they said they had seen Granny before, which was wrong, as she hadn't been there before, but her sister must have been, for them to know a Weatherwax face. If this article is discussing a different castle then there isn't an issue, but if it is the castle from Witches Abroad, then a change should be made.

Black Aliss' castle is mentioned in Wyrd Sisters, as "the biggest thing she ever did" and I think it gets briefly mentioned in Witches Abroad as well. The way narrative causality is described in WA suggests that the various fairy tale cliches happen all the time, and that Aliss was responsible for all of them at least once. Hope that clears things up. --Daibhid C 00:07 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Magrat

I feel that it needs to do a better job of explaining Magrat's pronounciation. I have no idea about the distinction between "Magg-rat", "Maggrat", and "Magrat." --Yar Kramer 21:55, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

It's TRUE! Vitriol 19:39, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Splitting the page?

I think Agnes and Tiff deserve their own entries. Anyone else? Daibhid C

Since previously seperated pages are being merged with no discussion, I take it that's a no... Daibhid C 20:33, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Magrat's pronounciation if anyone has trouble with pronounciation of any discworld words or frases, please listen to the audio book from any library. This should clear things up, and be very enjoable too. (discworldfreek)

Depends on the audio. I'm pretty sure Tony Robinson pronnounces it wrongly.Daibhid C 20:33, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Agnes Nitt

Was she actually a vampire at the end of Carpe Jugulum? I seem to remember it being implied (she could only visit that chap after dark), but I don't think it's been mentioned since. --Mister Six 18:28, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
