I keep seeing people talking about how it's strongly implied that there's a >!group of witches that are antagonistic to the island entity and have been "fighting" it for quite some time!<. Where does that idea come from? From what I remember from the show, it seems like >!Patricia is definitely related to the witches in some way due to her ability to perform the ritual in Ep4!<. But I don't remember anything that states that >!witches are important in a "fighting the entity" way, but rather just in a "they exist and can do rituals/spells" way.!<Can anyone tell me where the idea comes from? And why it seems like common knowledge among the fandom?
