"Close contriver of all harms."

This is how Hecate describes herself in Macbeth. But before she became a goddess of sorcery in the Greek world she was a goddess of childbirth and wilderness. So it's fitting she's here in the wild wood.

Photos in these woods are not always successful, the light being awkward (see this post). But maybe some places should be reserved for the naked eye.

The other Shakespearean witches are Paddock, Graymalkin and Anon, not far away in from the heath (and the bog).
