You got one wee bitty incorrect: everyone has second sight, witches have first sight. Second sight is seeing what you want to see, first sight is seeing what’s actually there.
But young Tiffany had "3rd thoughts", something we could certainly use on our "round world", and is quite apparent in our own history (all of it...) as the failure to thoroughly "think it through" is painfully obvious.....
Their was also Geoffrey Swive, he was basically a witch and he had magic that was the same as any other witch, though his headology worked a bit different. I believe he is often compared to Esk because he is such a rare sight. (He was however named a calm weaver though by Tiffany, probably to stop arguments??? ) This was an amazing video, I really loved how in depth you went into everything!!! Also oh my gosh the segment of Cackling was so amazing!!!!
Witchcraft is an odd one, isn't it? Counter to my comment on Wizards in the last video, I think you've done all that *can* be done to encompass Witches as a whole here... any attempt to go into great detail would get bogged down into exceptions and rule-proving. It's not as if Witchcraft is "Wizardry with skirts", after all! I almost feel as if our dauntless author went to great lengths to *avoid* a dualistic masculine/feminine definition for how magic in general works on the Disc and did a masterful job of convincing everyone, himself included, that he'd succeeded at that. However, there is indeed a core balance or contradiction between the two main formal schools of magic that boils down to a pair of rough comparisons: "Wizards have rules to break and enjoy the breaking, Witches have principles to betray and fear the day when they have to" and "Where a Witch will find a way to make a mountain want to move out of her way, a Wizard will make it so that the mountain is simply no longer there".
It just hit me today to make youtube vids about the Lore of the Discworld my fav literary work of all time. I can't believe it never occured to me before been so focused on Gaming vids lol Great to find yer vids btw. The concept of "Going Cackeling" is like a Force user turning to the Dark side only so much more sophisticated, smarter, funnier and disturbing.....sort of like how Terry did almost everything better hehe ;p
Found your site through the postings on the Discworld Reddit. Great job, man. Would love to see more about tech and technology of the Disc. Semaphone, Iconographs, etc.
Lords and Ladies. It is brought up by Jason in his internal monologue at the start of the book in the shoeing binky scene and confirmed as fact by Granny Weatherwax in the climax when she brings him a unicorn.
0MFGAWIZARD its in one of the books. Our Jason has a noisy little thing around the smithy but mostly in the eve of summer when the clouds are pregnant with whatever. Tbh, it'd be annoying.
Thank you! Out of interest is there any particular subject you'd like to see me cover soon now that i've wrapped up the introduction to magic three-parter?
"Gods and Demons" is definately going to be a video at some point. The Anthropomorphic Personifications as a collective sounds like a good one to tackle, followed by Death getting a video to himself. Thanks for the input :)
You are getting better at this. Now you are telling a story, instead of reading out loud. This is much much better than the first and second lore, where you sounded like you were reading as fast as you can from a text without any punctuation mark. They were really hard to follow and enjoy.
I've always viewed the relationship between Wizards and Witches as similar to the relationship between research scientists and engineers. You really can't have one without the other; but it's the witches that make practical real-world use of magic for those who need (without the risk of opening up doors into the Dungeon Dimensions). Of course, without the wizards, there would be no new discoveries regarding the nature of magic and magical scholarship in general.
You said we got introduced to witches in Wyrd Sisters, but we first saw them in Equal Rites, Granny and another one down slice way. Although we didn't really learn much about witch culture so maybe you're right :)
Thank you :) Had some stuff to juggle this week, so no video this week, But I am currently working on getting a video on Anthropomorphic personifications
I think you may be confused, Carrot was never given gifts by the witches, though Magrat gets a passing reference in Guards! Guards! as the wtich who pronounced his family sword as extremely non magical.
Granny helped a Troll mother (that none of the midwives or other witches would come within miles of) deliver her baby. I don't think she'd approve of online trolls, though. "I can't be having with that kind of thing. Not at my time of life." Then she would probably make you think you were a frog.

yeah, shut up! im sick of the firsties and the thirds fourths and fifths-ish.
He might have been thinking of 1st and 2nd thoughts?

Cybermancer yes there are, but you have to read it
A gingerbread house; that's peanuts compared to a house made entirely out of frogs; which is what, if I recall correctly, Black Alice had :3
That was some nice cackling!
All this is true, of course. But, as Granny Weather was has said, "when you break the rules, break them good and hard!
Well, Granny never does anything halfassed.

dauntlessly wearing a bificurted kirtle mayhaps xx
I love the note of male "witches" taking different paths as blacksmiths and local pub owners.

Thank you! In time I am hoping to cover everything discworld, technology will be an interesting one to cover.
Your cackling made me cackle. I need to get out more before I turn to the bad.
Excellent video well done 👍
I love the cackle!
just wanted to say I'm loving this series and keep it up man :)
but quick question where is the source for the lancre blacksmith shoeing any beast ?
Lords and Ladies. It is brought up by Jason in his internal monologue at the start of the book in the shoeing binky scene and confirmed as fact by Granny Weatherwax in the climax when she brings him a unicorn.
@@Unseenarchivist And an ant, he still hears it clattering around the forge...
0MFGAWIZARD its in one of the books. Our Jason has a noisy little thing around the smithy but mostly in the eve of summer when the clouds are pregnant with whatever. Tbh, it'd be annoying.
I dont know about going bad (cackling) as Grany Weatherwax was always mad that she had to be the good one her entire life
If you set a rule for what Witchs had to wear they would all wear something else
Thats a really good cackle!
I think this is probably my favourite video so far
These are some really great vids! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Out of interest is there any particular subject you'd like to see me cover soon now that i've wrapped up the introduction to magic three-parter?
TheAlbion (Scans book collection)
How about gods/demons/the Four Horsemen, etc? You've mentioned them, but they certainly deserve their own video.
"Gods and Demons" is definately going to be a video at some point. The Anthropomorphic Personifications as a collective sounds like a good one to tackle, followed by Death getting a video to himself. Thanks for the input :)
Just here to say, Nanny's monologue to the elf king still gives me chills, and I've read Lords and Ladies more times than I can count.
Erudite and entertaing, thank you. a blessing on this house. No content on Nanny Ogg however which surprised me.
You are getting better at this. Now you are telling a story, instead of reading out loud. This is much much better than the first and second lore, where you sounded like you were reading as fast as you can from a text without any punctuation mark. They were really hard to follow and enjoy.
Great video, subscribed! Have you thought about doing an in depth look at some of the discworld characters?
Borrowing also allows to borrow other humans at least partially, as well as especially old property (Unseen University, for example)
wonderful video!thank you for sharing with us
Nice work man where you gone?
Yes love the cackling!
you like cackling? oooh. gosh.

"Lilith de Tempscire" is a pun on "Weatherwax"--her sister's name
Point: sharing meals too. Remember about the voles?
PS: bees. A hive mind. Not minds. Borrowing bees is a plural.
Also the dabger of being invaded like Tiffany Aching by the hiver. So borrow carefully and never leave an "empty" body lying around.
Isn't Our Jason the blacksmith of Lancre? So he takes care of Binky? But why blindfolded.?
Binky is Death's horse, Jason is a normal human, that kind of sight is not...safe...
You said we got introduced to witches in Wyrd Sisters, but we first saw them in Equal Rites, Granny and another one down slice way. Although we didn't really learn much about witch culture so maybe you're right :)
My phrasing was a bit off, I was indeed talking about the culture of witches as a collective rather than individual members. My bad there.
still loved the video
Thank you :) Had some stuff to juggle this week, so no video this week, But I am currently working on getting a video on Anthropomorphic personifications
Nice, i love Death
In "witch" book do they give young Carot his gifts? I have searched for a while and cannot find it.
I think you may be confused, Carrot was never given gifts by the witches, though Magrat gets a passing reference in Guards! Guards! as the wtich who pronounced his family sword as extremely non magical.
I can't believe Esme Weatherwax died. I'm in serious schock about that.
It's theorised that she is in You, the cat.
Weatherwax do not have power or you would be gone along time ago.
Could a man become a witch by simply transforming into a woman?Why they would go trough such effort isnt that important.
You have a talent for making terry pratchetts creations sound boring. Shame on you
what's boring is shaming people. Granny would not agree with it.
Granny helped a Troll mother (that none of the midwives or other witches would come within miles of) deliver her baby.
I don't think she'd approve of online trolls, though.
"I can't be having with that kind of thing. Not at my time of life."
Then she would probably make you think you were a frog.

"Lords and Ladies" opening. Jason Ogg is identified as a master farrier and shoes Binky
thank you
