I just rewatched some clips from 7x19

Gothel said she wiped out the whole human civilization and there was no one left in the LWM. This took place "thousands" of years ago. And then that means latter humankind reappered as we know it.

-Does that mean Gothel spent +300000 years in the NEF waiting for the coven witches? I get that she is a nymph and therefore she is inmortal. But are the coven witches like super-special or what? Because it seemed some of them died and Gothel just replaced them

-Did she need Alice to cast her spell? Alice is her child, but she is also WHook's daughter. Can Gothel see the furture? Was she waiting for WHook? But WHook wasn't born, he was created out of a wish. So, did Gothel foresee that a woman called Fiona would create the Dark Curse and also that a woman called Emma Swan would make a wish that would create her daughter's father ?

-Why do she need the Dark Curse? She didn't use it at all to cast her spell. She could have used a magic bean to take the coven witches to the LWM and then cast the spell there. The curse is not even broken, so there is no "officially" magic in Seattle as for 7x19. That means she didn't need to bring magic to cast the spell.
