"Hrm."
Yup, that's Harry's spirit animal, alright! :p
I was thinkin' it looks more like a buggerup, but I'm easy, spirit animal works.
Would probably enjoy the smell of pipe-tobacco!
I think the spirit is reflecting what Harry is currently thinking/feeling. So in Panel 1, that surprise explanation point is really Harry, and when it backs up in Panel 2, that's Harry's own wariness (which she expresses as only "hrm").
she's lucky it doesn't have a gun, then!
This thing is surprisingly adorable for a birdskulllion. I want to snuggle it.
But I also wanted to snuggle Pride, so maybe I just like four-legged bird thingies.
I do feel like this is the “right” way to do spirit based therapy. Summon your patient’s “soul” and have a look at it, see what’s tangled up, help them confront some things, and so on.
Dr Flack's research is clearly not as cutting edge as she thought.
Well, Sharpe told Knotty about the "slow" method of phasmia-psychology. The real difference between that one and this one is wizards' summoning one spirit from a patient's soul and working with it, not a tangle like that.
Nyree called this thing Harry's shadow, whatever it means.
Still, I agree about the right therapy, the only problem with it is that needs a Witch. :) And just hanging around an Anchor tends to cause ill side effects (Lei and Voss, yeah?)
I'm guessing it is along the lines of the Jungian shadow. Basically, it is the part that is in control of how you perceive the world based on your unconscious self-evaluation.
Like if you have some doubts about your abilities, you pay attention and mentally critique others' behaviors. In a nutshell, it is the emotional mode your brain uses to learn.
In the last panel, Ms Barber is regretting her decision not to shoot things when she had the chance.
"Unpick these stitches, as a friend of mine would say": let me guess... the nice knitting lady aka Mountain Witch?
yep!
mountain witch? what chapter is she in?
Green Eyed Monster
It is widely assumed (though I don't believe ever explicitly confirmed) that the woman in [this comic](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/may-23rd-2014 "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/may-23rd-2014") is the Mountain Witch.
In listening to a fairy tale or folktale, the hearer's subconscious brings everything in the story to life. What is a minor element for one person can be major for another.

Ah, right: Mal could bind some of the sins without a circle, and Nyree is a lot more practiced in using her power.
purr purr
Harry looks positively miserable in that last panel.
"Tell me about your mother."
"You got a week?"
Uuuugghhghg, the only worse thing than picking apart your emotions is having to do it in front of someone.
Especially a stranger.
I mean, Harry probably wouldn't mind having a giant monster sidekick, considering how hectic the situations she gets herself into are, but her local homeowner association, and more importantly, Gren would object.
Nyree is so cool!
It's been decades since I saw Crocodile Dundee, but she kind of reminds me of him. Unflappable, competent, cheerful, down to earth, takes weird creatures/entities in stride, a bit larger than life.
...welp, now I'm hearing everything she says in an Oz accent. Thanks.
I mean that's not far from the truth, considering she's a kiwi
Ooof. The kiwis I know are from Christchurch.
Not far off until she cooks fush stew!
HRM
ha ha!
It has a crack on its forehead... Why? What does it symbolise, I wonder?
That wagging tail in panel for is ADORABLE!
Harry's greatest challenge: Introspection.
😁
...we use "chook" to call the chickens... This is cute and hilarious! <3
