Hi
Cailleach or Bandraoí Witch Wait for more, please, I can't think now what's the difference between both words. Tá an domhan uile ina stáitse agus teastaíonn cleachtadh go géar ón mórchuid againn.

I'd say "draoi" is more "druid" and "bandraoi" druidess.
The word for witch or female magician would be "bandraíodóir", I think. Cailleach is allright as well, but it means like "old witch" (and old woman). I don't think a young witch would be called cailleach. Is fearr Gaeilg chliste ná Gaeilg bhriste

Perhaps fuachaid or amaid?
