First Witch. Second Witch. Third Witch. In the First Folio Act 1 Scene 1 and Act 4 Scene 1 they are identified as 1, 2, and 3. There is also a head witch called Hecate and three other witches who are usually written out of any performing script because 1) they are silly and stupid and 2) they were added to Shakespeare's play later, probably by Thomas Middleton.
MacBeth meets the three witches with lady MacBeth
Macbeth.
The witches only gave Macbeth prophecies. It was his decision to do so after Lady Macbeth persuaded him. Although the witches' intentions was probably to cause this murder, the witches did not make Macbeth muder Duncan.
No, the witches are proclaiming and predicting that Macbeth will be king and they are praising Macbeth.
Banquo and Macbeth. And the other witches, of course.
The witches in Macbeth refer to themselves as the "weird sisters."

Macbeth does.

I think that Macbeth was at first not as "worried" about the witches and their curses as then on in the play he finds out that every thing that the witches has been tellin him are true.

No names are given to the witches other than to their leader, Hecate, in the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).Specifically, three witches are in the play's opening act and interact with Macbeth (d. August 15, 1057) until after the murder of Banquo in Act 3. Throughout, they remain unnamed. Their leader appears in Act 3, just before the witches' final meeting with Macbeth. She is identified as Hecate at that point.
