In this series, we will discuss the various witches of Asoiaf and fire. Throughout our own history the word Witch has been used against many women which defied the status quo, in olden times educated or wise women were feared because they threatened to undermine the existing social structures of their societies. These women were often outcast from society and viewed as strange even though many of them were of use to their communities providing medicines and other herbs and remedies for ailments. Thousands of this accused witches were killed and the suggestion of witchcraft was used to demonize many women who spoke out.

There are several accused witches in Martins series, some perhaps are..and other more likely gained the disfavor of those writing history in some way.

The first witch we will discuss is Alys Rivers.

Alys Rivers is a very mysterious figure. Not much is known of who she truly was. Its seems to be conclusive that she at least dabbled somewhat in the arcane.
