So, let's keep in mind that they could just have their names, and nothing more.

As confirmed/practically confirmed, we have:
 * 1) Gothel
 * 2) Anastasia
 * 3) Leota

My personal ideas about the rest (I don't have a clear group of 8, just potential candidates)... What if the actress on set of 715 with the blonde, braided hair is Vasilisa, the heroine of the first story that includes Baba Yaga?
 * 1) Baba Yaga - I know it seems soooo unlikely, but I just want her sooo much on the show!
 * 2) The Crone - A typical folkloric character; also compared to the figure of the Hag. Would be cool to have a real "traditional" witch for once ^^
 * 3) Orddu/Orwen/Orgoch - One of the three witches. They are from The Black Cauldron ^^
 * 4) Mama Odie - I absolutely don't believe it, or think it will happen. But, it is a possibility if they want to link a bit more Tiana to the plot.
 * 5) Splendora Agatha Cromwell - The main Witch from the Halloweentown films... Absolutely random x) But, she seems quite big?
 * 6) Mother Trudy - She comes from a fairytale of the Brothers Grimm + could be a direct rival to Gothel?
 * 7) Hecate - Another figure from Greek Mytho, cos why not?
 * 8) Mizrabel - The main villain in the Castle of Illusion videogames with Mickey... Cos why not?

My only problem is that they said "iconic". Baba Yaga is a waaaaay more known and iconic than Vasilisa. Plus, again, the nods could just be the names. Nothing stop them from making a blonde Baba Yaga or Trudy ^^
