Yeah, I mean, we don't know if there are other witches besides the Swayal, presumably there are? Risking a Gnostic sorcerer seems like a bad idea anyway.

However i noticed the Witch in TJE (the one masquerading as a devotee of Yawter) is using analagoic sorcery. Not Gnostic like the Compact. Judging by the spell she casts which is weird.

Yes, I mentioned that above. I definitely noticed that. It also describes her as improbably young, which would mean she's probably young enough to have joined after they got the gnosis (I'm assuming the Compact is a group of witches that Kellhus got together and said, start a school, and I'll give you the gnosis) so should be a gnostic witch and not an anagogic witch. So to be honest, I am going to assume this was a mistake in the writing.
Do you think there's some significance to it?

Sorry for duplication. Just so often i read something and then forget any significant thoughts I may have had. So typed it out quick without checking.
Mistake is the most likely option (unfortunately)
Another faction working for Maith and his brothers(we hear about in WLW), as a bit later/earlier the Mother Superior mentions he has known about her for a long time.
Mistake most likely though :D

No worries at all! I am sure I've done the same. I'm glad someone else thought it was interesting.

Authors make mistakes all they time. He's a man not a Dunyain. [Edit: For instance, we are told countless times that even getting close to a chorae will salt a Quya, but the captain (carrying a chorae) is constantly standing right next to Cleric muttering in his ear].
Why would they train one of the few as an anagogic witch? They are a limited resource, it would make sense to make them all as powerful as possible.

I didn't mean to imply he didn't make a mistake, just pointing out that there is a good deal we don't know. While it could have just been an author accident, there could be explanations as to why someone would still be training with the Anagogis.

lmao what a great quote, for all of us waiting for TGO:

Mimara:
What reservoirs of determination would it take? To spend so long immersed in a task not only bereft of any tangible profit, but without any appreciable measure of progress - how much would it require? Year after year, wresting with the imperceptible, wringing hope out of smoke and half-memory. What depths of conviction? What kind of perseverance?
Certainly not any the sane possess.
Madness:
He must have smiled writing these words.
