An ugly old woman.
Pilgrimage-Feast. One of the three holidays on which every Israelite male is required to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and "appear before YHWH".
Hebrew for "Feast"
a magical creature that was defined as a “beast” and not a “being”; they looked like wild-looking and unkempt females; they preferred to eat children although they ate raw meat as a substitute (FB); Quirrell had a “nasty bit of business” with a hag (SS5); Gilderoy Lockhart wrote the book Holidays with Hags (CS4), Harry saw a hag eating raw liver (PA4); Professor Regulus Moonshine developed a new potion that reduced the appetite for human flesh in hags ( Daily Prophet, 1 October 1999);
In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the hag is a horrible monstrous humanoid creature whose love of evil is equaled only by their ugliness. All hags are apparently female, at least in form.
