swamp witch
Marshland magic practitioner
A swamp witch is a witch who inhabits or draws power from swamps, marshes, or bayous—a figure in folklore, fantasy, and Southern Gothic storytelling.
The setting suggests someone mysterious, isolated, and connected to dark or primal forces: The swamp witch traded in curses and cures.
The term sometimes describes a disheveled or wild-looking woman, usually disparagingly.
