Medusa covers herself with arrows, and her magic involves arrows. Maybe the head witch's magic involves numbers? This leads to a slightly interesting idea that the witches are using some complicated form of numerology or arithmancy, considering Medusa uses vector arrows.
You may be onto something here.

I would probably go with The Crone if I had to choose something in English.
What's a "crone"? and what do we call this witch?
