Two scenes in Macbeth start out with the witches. Which one are you talking about?
Yes. The play opens with the three witches meeting in "a desert place."
Yes the witches were intended to be real. Although, in a way, they were imaginary. They would prophesy, and predict the future to Macbeth. Other people were able to visually see them though.
She pushes MacBeth to kill the king and by doing so fulfills the witches predictions.

The purpose of the witches at the beginning of the play is to set the scene and introduce the theme of fate vs. free will that is incorporated throughout the entire novel, and it gives an idea of how Macbeth will be affected by these witches. :)
The witches never said "Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth". In Act 4, Scene 1, both the First Apparition and the Second Apparition begin their prophecies by calling out, "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!" Macbeth responds to the First Apparition by thanking it for warning him against the Thane of Fife (Macduff). Macbeth responds to the Second Apparition with: "Had I three ears, I'd hear thee."
Macbeth has three "weird sisters". In the Folio copy, there are not only the three witches but a fourth, called Hecat, who is their boss. In addition, during the Cauldron Scene, a stage direction says "enter Hecat, and the other three witches" which would make seven witches all told. However, the character of Hecat is very silly and is always cut when this play is actually performed.
In the beginning scene of Macbeth, three witches gather to discuss their future plans, including meeting Macbeth.
Hecate is the leader of the witches in the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).Specifically, Hecate does not appear until Act 3 Scene 5. She meets with the three witches who appear in the play's opening scene. Hecate chides them for making and carrying out plans regarding Macbeth without consulting her first.
There are three witches.
