In Act 4 Scene 1, he left the royal palace at Forres, to meet the witches. Many editions of the play say that the witches were in a cavern. However, this does not come from the original text of the play in the First Folio, and it is unlikely that it was portrayed that way in any early performances of the play. Their cauldron would have been brought up on the trap door, rather than being in the concealment space, thus enabling their quick departure. In this case, Macbeth sought the witches out; this is when he goes to meet the witches. In Act 1 Scene 2, Macbeth had met the three witches by accident on his part, by design on theirs, and they meet on a "blasted heath" according to Macbeth's line. The witches knew that Macbeth would be crossing the heath. They placed themselves on collision course with Macbeth and his friend and fellow General Banquo.
