* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': ''Literature/WyrdSisters'' introduces the "coven" of the Lancre Witches, formed by Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick (from ''Literature/{{Maskerade}}'' onwards replaced by Agnes Nitt). ''Wyrd Sisters'' explains why three witches are required for a coven: Two witches get on each other's nerves; the third one can get them to make up, so they can all get on the nerves of everyone else. If you go beyond three, the result is "a bloody great row, usually".

** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS21E7RednecksAndBroomsticks Rednecks and Broomsticks]]": Lisa gets lost in the forest and runs into three teenage girls who are performing a UsefulNotes/{{Wicca}} ritual. The way the three are first seen--three cowled figures around a cauldron--alludes to the witches of ''Macbeth''. Eventually the three invite Lisa to be the fourth member of their "coven", but the induction is not complete when Chief Wiggum arrests the girls for witchcraft.

->''"In effect, however, those three [Mothers] were sisters as well as mothers... just as there are three Muses, three Graces, three Fates, and three Furies."''

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1765 SCP-1765]] are three sisters that look like ghosts who have [[RealityWarper Reality Warping]] abilities, on one day, they appeared on Area-37 and took control of the whole place, claiming they are going to help the Foundation with their own research, the whole place was transformed to accomodate their experiments and everyone inside is used as test subjects, there were attempts to reclaim the area but they failed, the Foundation just hopes the sisters stay there so they are not really contained.
** The first sister, SCP-1765-1, seems to be the leader of the group, her experiment is making people measure a bunch of pipes, but then, she rearranges the pipes and they have to do everything again.
** The second sister, SCP-1765-2, has a scottish accent, and her experiment is forcing people through a deadly game in a stadium, where fireballs are hurled at the contestants, but when someone dies, they respawn and have to try again, if they reach the end, they are still killed by a giant hammers.
** The third sister, SCP-1765-3, looks like an innocent child, and she is using the site director to pick ice cream flavors, it's implied he had to eat over 200,000 different flavors and many of them may be gross.

* ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'': Invoked when Jonathan Harker in his journal refers to the three Brides of Dracula as "those weird sisters".

* ''Anime/YuGiOhFirstAnimeSeries'' has the villainous Kageyama Sisters, witch triplets who duel with a Hecate-themed deck.

A third reincarnation of the three women of fate is a trio of {{seer}}esses who predict fate, but do not interfere with it directly. When the Weird Sisters are more specifically embodying or invoking the goddesses of fate, they will be equipped with spinning or weaving tools.

** "The Power of Three Blondes" introduced the Stillman Sisters, evil sisters who want to steal the Halliwells' powers.
** "Repo Manor" also had a trio of demons who were emulating the sisters in the hopes of stealing their powers to vanquish an enemy.

* A subtle example in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' before the ''Cataclysm'' expansion overhauled Orgrimmar (and preserved in ''World of Warcraft: Classic''). In the city, the troll mage trainers Deino, Enyo and Pephredo, all [[BlindSeer blindfolded]] and standing in a circle, seem to be designed to evoke this trope.

* ''Literture/NightWorld'': Rowan, Kestrel and Jade Redfern (the title characters of the second book ''Daughters of Darkness'') are a trio of vampire sisters (lamia, specifically). They're not seen as particularly weird on the lamia enclave where they were raised, save for the fact they're a bit more independent and free-thinking than their family would like, but they definitely stand out in rural small-town Oregon, where they're some of the only Night People for miles. They also have witch ancestry, which the sisters say their father blames for rebellious ways.
