sea witches

Oceanic magical hags

Sea witches are mythical figures with power over ocean forces—storms, tides, currents, and the fates of sailors.

They appear throughout maritime folklore as dangerous beings who might curse a voyage, control the winds, or lure ships to destruction.

In modern fantasy, sea witches often trade in magical bargains: The sea witch offered her legs in exchange for her voice.

The image blends witchcraft with the ocean's alien depths and unpredictable moods.
