Witches
, any other royal ship shakers?

Much of witchcraft is based on the use of natural chemicals, with potions and ointments created from plant and mineral extracts, not necessarily obscure and at times commonplace/fairly often mundane.

The use of medicinal herbs and other plants in their craft has given witches considerable knowledge/expertise in the field, with it also being noted that they were able to figure out fermentation and decomposition on their own.

Witchcraft based on natural potions has been noted to be capable of various feats including healing, divination, cursing, flight etc

A common job for witches has been noted to be controlling nature to help crop growth, with repelling insects being part of it.

Aside from ointments, there are spells for divination involving fire and water, and wind spells using rope knots. Witches also have their own variant of the curse involving piercing a wax doll with some blood, a fingernail or another part of their target mixed in.

An ointment derived from bear grease has been noted to be used for insulating skin from cold (and for a search spell).

Shibuya coven, temporary ones, approach

It should be noted that there are some individuals who are referred to as witches due to possessing a number of the associated qualities, but who don't necessarily meet all of the criteria for the term to apply in the technical sense.

Witch & Psychic trivia

It has been noted that contrary to fictional depictions, witches tend not to use wands, apparently because like staffs or clubs, they are symbols of patriarchal power.
