About Nicole, there's actually a few fortune slips that are messages from Hexenzirkel members to the late Andersdotter. Nicole has one (this is from genshin wiki): "(Messy handwriting. This doesn't seem much like a fortune slip...) In truth, I said all I wished to say to you in the end, but Alice still advised me to write a little, saying that what I cannot say aloud, I can always write, surely. That is the case, though I have spoken directly into peoples' minds for so long... that I never practiced my penmanship anyway. No need to worry if I've pried into any of your innermost thoughts, I've never done anything like that. If that does not reassure you, let me share one of my secrets with you. Having been suffocated by my inability to speak, I wound up being an incredibly talkative person at first. Alice noted that those who used their real mouths to blather on with had far fewer problems than I, since I would set my head abuzz and give myself quite a headache whenever I spoke. She advised me to speak more steadily and present an air of mystery and nobility - which is how I wound up speaking the way you remember. I'm off, in any case. There's not much to worry about here with you - so why don't you watch over me instead?" So, funnily enough, this implies that we might have a false idea of what Nicole's personality is like, since her mannerisms seems to be the suggestion of Alice Also, in another message, which i assume from Barbeloth based on the Astronomy being mentioned, that confirms that Hexenzirkel was founded by Alice: "(The handwriting here is exquisite, to the point of seeming like some sort of printout. This doesn't look like a fortune slip...) To be honest, we weren't the most familiar of people in the organization Alice founded. But I find that things and people around me have changed much in the many years that followed... and now, you are amongst the few I am most acquainted with. I must confess that I did not initially understand what Alice saw in you. Being "interesting" was the measuring stick, said she, and being the "most interesting" was the only criterion for being invited to join. Later, I realized that I had only thought that I had understood your stories. That your acuity for the world's operating principles could perhaps sometimes surpass that of astrology. Sometimes, that is! I, too, have grown old, and I do not know how long I have left. So yes, I admit that I really do miss you, just a little. Not that I would actually go over to keep you company or anything, though." The we have this message that might imply that Pulcinella is part of Hexenzirkel but the other points in the same message seem to imply that all members are female, so maybe it's someone Pulcinella just connected to: "(Neat handwriting. This does not look like a fortune-telling slip...) Barbie's gotten old, letting her emotions get in the way of proper writing. Not so I - as the first Mayor, I requested Alice to help me settle various trifling matters in Snezhnaya. And in exchange, she asked that I pen a passage in here. I do not believe in any world after death, so we must live our best while we still draw breath. As such, I do not think you will read a word I write here - I write to myself alone. Neither of us ever had any magic or combat training. We are simply ordinary. As such, we might be able to come to an understanding, though I believe otherwise. Alice was too ██ing good to you. Back in the day, she dragged me through waterways, blowing furnaces up, catching a cat within a Domain... The process was complicated and far from straightforward, but in any case, it was meant to protect the people around us. You might have wondered, is this the price of getting along with this gaggle of mad women? I doubt you would agree with that assessment, nor would I. Those were, after all, the most precious days of our time together, were they not?"

[@spieds9994]

Also, as another thing, when you finish the Imaginarium challenge you get credits rolling. And those credits start with the Hexenzirkel circle but not only does it have more related items to each witch (instead of just random witch silhouette) but it has 9 circles and not 8

[@tartagliasjigglydworshipper]

the Mayor is J, Ivanovna. she's the first Mayor of Snezhnaya.

Man, at this point unless we meet them face-to-face, and even then, I’m still gonna think the Hexenzirkel are super sus and can’t be trusted lol. They seem to have such world-shattering power, even harboring someone who led the downfall of Khaenriah and the deaths of thousands, and somehow don’t seem to give a damn about Teyvat (except Alice but even she feels super sus, lol). It makes me wonder why most of the factions seem super passive lately, with only the Fatui and to a lesser extent, the Abyss Order, actively doing any interfering or meddling with the world. Even though Celestia has been asleep for the past 500 years, why has no one tried to take them down yet? Especially these 5 Sinners who became transcendent beings, or the Hexenzirkel, who even tried to overthrow Barbatos (I mean wtf why?! What the hell was Alice thinking being on board with this?!), and are also just as knowledgeable as the Fatui about the nature of the world? I’m actually curious if you’ll do a video about the revelation (assuming it’s not an allegory) about how the cosmos are dying, with Teyvat being possibly the only remaining living world left. Makes me wonder what the end goal of the Abyss Order and Fatui will be if they succeed in killing the Primordial One and potentially causing Teyvat to be destroyed and left vulnerable to the abyssal cosmos and becoming another dead world to be devoured like all the other ones the All-Devouring Narwhal had eaten before. Makes me wonder if the Abyss Order/Fatui are just flat out suicidal, don’t know about the fate of the outside Universe (which I find unlikely), or are just idiots lol. Really making me start to side with the Primordial One if this revelation is really true

[@Flamelance_Accendo]

@0:22 And the *Independence* of the _Primordial One._

[@_dragonflies_]

You seem to be misspelling (whether intentionally or not) one of the Witches' names: You spell it as "Ivanova", ending in "ova" which would make it a surname The correct spelling is "Ivanovna", ending in "ovna", which makes it a patronymic. (Which means her father's name would be Ivan) We don't know her first name or surname yet

[@Elysia-vj2gd]

Interesting that Lisa was invited to join this group, but Lisa refused (someone theorized that she is part of this group despite Lisa said that she refused). I feel like Lisa is going to be related to another organization in Mondstadt. I mean everyone who has a surname in Mondstadt seems to come from a notable family. I won’t be surprised that when Mondstadt expansion happens (new area, perhaps dorman port), Lisa organization is revealed (perhaps that is how she got her witch certificate). I mean we only know of Hroptatyr and Rerir in 4.7, so nothing stops genshin from making another organization as a whole.

[@SirZelean]

True. But for now I think Lisa was supposed to be Andersdottir's successor, if not also her daughter. I'unno, Lisa is a powerful mage, fights to the death to protect the library's books, and her main symbol is a purple rose - and we know Andersdottir was associated with magic, books, and roses too. And now, we also know that the forbidden section of her library is basically the Hexenzirkel's headquarters or some-such. In one way or another, she IS connect to the coven. Personally, I think Lisa was asked to join them after Andersdottir passed away, but she refused. Out of respect for them or something, she decided to be the guardian of their base, if nothing else. Also, if that place is a domain and (some) domains are dream-worlds that need a dreamer to keep it running, then maybe Lisa is the one keeping the Imaginarium Theater in existence? That's how the Teapot works, and the teapot waypoint's description says you can't put too much stuff in that place because it drains the teapot spirit's energy, and if you abuse it they will have insomnia. Maybe that's why Lisa is so laid back/tired/sleepy - keeping the Imaginarium Theater together may require too much of her. But anyway, that's just some wild speculation.

[@Elysia-vj2gd]

@@SirZelean I think that it is plausible that Andersdottir and Lisa are related, but I think Lisa allying with another organization is possible because refused to join the coven. Everyone in Mondstadt who has a surname seems to be of a noble lineage, therefore the each remaining noble clan probably has something called family business. (The Lawrence is the main oppressor, therefore their ideas are different from the other remaining noble lineage. I mean everyone else seems to going on with their business without disturbing Mondstadt freedom.) I think the Minci version of family business is practicing magic and books, therefore Lisa might be distantly related to Andersdottir. (Lisa appreciate every books, therefore it can be say that probably a common trait in the family or something.)

So, you and wolfy are saying, that ancient Seelie split into modern Seelie and gods? Or maybe into modern Seelie and adepti? But then Nicole broke the system, and saved a few people like Goddess of Flowers? Hmm... interesting. Maybe that is also the event where "birds split into domestic and wild varieties" in Perinheri?

[@Elysia-vj2gd]

When do you think Mondstadt expansion will happens? (We don’t know about the mysterious organization that saved Diluc, Varka is on an expedition with 95% of the knights, the Imunlaukr clan is nowhere to be found (despite being prominent), etc)

Seems like the Hexenzirkel has 9 members. We currently know 7 with the wandering sorceress Octavia. Tho we may already have hints of the 8th member. The "Night time Witch" speaked in Navia geo artefact set. The Butterfly one and if you look closely to the new Witch circle has also a Butterfly.... Also btw its pretty obvious Nicole is the boar princess and the book is clearly about the fall from grace of the seelie race :) Wolfy was likely made by Barbeloth, he has her star symbol in his hat

[@DiogoPires93]

Nicole is the boar princess? Why?

[@motemo8413]

Boars are Seelie allegory so Nicole = Seelie but there's nothing suggesting that she is the boar princess as far as i am aware

[@alexanderericson8628]

BRO you are cooking!

[@alexanderericson8628]

A couple of problems here, I think one witch from each region is invited into the circle, because Alice says that they used to talk about their differences, so it's kind of a purpose for it's existence. Rhinedottir counts for Sumeru Barbeloth is probably Mondstadt as far as I know they do not yet announced a representative for Inazuma and Natlan. It's also possible these regions looked very different back then.

[@motemo8413]

@@alexanderericson8628 we don't have anyone from Fontaine either seemingly yet in fact most of them seem to be from Mondstadt but we will see. also Rhinedottir is stated to be from Khaenri'ah.

I wonder what THE PRIMORDIAL ONE A PROGENITOR GOD HAILING FROM BEYOND THE STARS thinks of the Hexenzerkiel

[@NutellaOnBagel]

Just a speculation: The Primordial One probably doesn’t know that they exist, because Phanes could’ve left Teyvat also leaving behind his/her shades behind along with the 2nd who came and is still gone probably recovering his/her ruined functions after receiving the help of the 2nd who came to create the gnosis. Well I could be wrong because I don’t know how long ago the Hexenzerkiel was established.

It would be cool if one of these witches was from the god race. We haven’t seen many gods that aren’t archons (Guoba, Boreas, Osial and our beloved Sustainer of Heavenly Principles are the only ones I can think of) so it would be cool to see other gods do stuff, and since gods are powerful in one way or another, and the Hexenzirkel witches are all powerful in their respective fields, it would make sense.

I don’t know if Signora would count as what is classified as a “witch” in the world of genshin identity wise, despite the name / title. I forget who but I think it was Ashikai who made a video which brought up Arlecchino’s flames and theorized it may be sourced from the same flames that run through Signora For them- their flames and power come from something in their bodies, it is a constitutional thing for them, part of their bodies makeup. The witches in the hexenzirkel seem to have obtained their power through other means
