The Evil Eye
The Evil Eye is not a patron like most others, it is more of a concept which witches are capable of biding to in order to get their powers. The Evil Eye is very popular among hags and their witch pupils. The Evil Eye has no care nor desire, making it an a source of power one cannot displease. The main practitioners of the Witchcraft connected to the Evil Eyes are the Dark Sisters, an all-female group of witches with a connection to Night Hags.
In Order to connect with the Evil Eye one must perform strange rituals and meditate, eventually a connection to it will be formed. The secrets of the rituals are found in ancient tomes, taught mother to daughters or through the careful tutoring of a hag.
The Evil Eye is a solid choice for Patron Witch who rely more heavily on hexes because of it Bad Gaze granted ability. It also grant a nice variety of spells spanning multiple schools, expanding the patron witch's spell with more curses and abilities which synergize well with them. Overall the Evil Eye patron is a good all-rounder for witches without a overly specific build.
