During the Clone Wars, the Nightsisters, who were witches hailing from Dathomir, tapped into the dark side of the Force.
The label "Witch" described female individuals who engaged in the practice of magic. Examples include the Nightsisters originating from Dathomir, who harnessed their planet's unique magick, and the Brendok coven, who utilized arcane techniques to manipulate the Force, referring to it as the Thread. The term could also be casually applied to a woman considered to be particularly disagreeable.
