In Act 1, Scene 3 of Macbeth, Macbeth and Banquo meet the three witches, also known as the Weird Sisters. This meeting takes place on a heath. During this encounter, the witches make three prophecies:
1. They hail Macbeth as the Thane of Cawdor.
2. They predict that Macbeth will become the king of Scotland.
3. They also foretell that Banquo's descendants will be kings, though Banquo will not become one himself.
Macbeth and Banquo are initially skeptical about the prophecies, but as the play progresses, they find the witches' predictions coming true, which sparks Macbeth's ambition to seize power.
