Golem (Jewish tradition)
An animated anthropomorphic being formed from inanimate earth (typically clay or mud) and brought to life by a human practitioner through the ritual use of Hebrew letters or divine names. In Jewish narrative and mystical contexts the golem functions as servant or protector created by rabbis, Baal Shem figures, or Kabbalists, but stories repeatedly warn that it can grow uncontrollable and must be deactivated by altering its animating inscription.

A benevolent, regional witch and ruler of the Gillikin Country in L. Frank Baum's Land of Oz who appears briefly in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) to aid Dorothy with counsel and limited magic.
