The sugar runes scatter.
The lights flicker.
And the witch is holding -
"...art and being immune to mental spells and curses are under the same goddess?"
"I suppose it's not like deities in other pantheons have sensible groupings either..."
"I'm pretty sure if you tell him to do stuff no magic occurs!"
"Yes I still think he's fictional I just now have evidence of gods that aren't and yet contain multitudes, so to speak."
He giggles. "If goddesses have, like, preferences and that's what they're goddesses of... honestly that's very sensible and makes sense."
"I don't actually know. But it's as plausible a story as any."
"They'll do divinations of some kinds but it's not conversational."
"A creation story, the way Genesis is a cosmogony for Jehova-based religions."
"Enh, there are stories but they contradict each other outright and we don't get worked up about which is whose favorite."
"I do have a favorite, I like the one my mom usually told me as a kid, it's the Anfisa Roksana compilation."
"It might be more fun for an eight year old, but sure, knock yourself out."
"There aren't fixed holy texts for witches, just various retellings of the narratives, so they can be for different audiences, such as eight year olds."
