Nine sorceresses

Common card · No. 353994

The nine sorceresses, also known as the nine witches, nine maidens or nine sisters (Welsh: naw chwaer), are a recurring element in the Arthurian legend in variants of the popular nine maidens theme from world mythologies. Their most important appearances are in Geoffrey of Monmouth's introduction of Avalon as the sisters of the character that would later become Morgan le Fay, and as the central motif of Peredur's story in the Peredur son of Efrawg part of the Mabinogion.
