So...did they tell Misha because, though male, he was a *born* relative, and so intitled to know things that males who merely *marry into* the family aren't? I've seen people talk about their in-laws like they're not "real family", because they're not blood-related. I've always thought that was odd, but...perhaps the blood ties allow the women some control over the men?
Or did Misha only get included because they knew he'd have powers, so he needed to know for his and their own safety? Both?
I think the Seers are acting on memories of the Olde Dayes-and the Burning Times-when they worry about being sold out. Any angry ex, or estranged son, or whoever, who wants to go the press or police about their odd ways...he's going to be laughed at as crazy. Unless a person's had experience of the supernatural, or visions and dreams, themselves, they won't believe it and think the guy's crazy.
Any entity that *would* believe the women have powers, and aren't just Wiccans celebrating their holidays in ritual observance, and so on, well...they'd likely already *know* these women were Seers.
I wonder about that comment that "especially a Morgan" shouldn't be there at Misha's ritual. Because he'd pull otherworldly attention to them at a vulnerable time? Or do they not like Morrigan, specifically? I'd think, knowing what Jeff has the potential to be, they'd *want* him there...if only to keep him sweet. That's his boy they're fooling with!
I keep feeling reverberations of 'Practical Magic' and 'The Thread that Binds the Bones'...yes, *everything* reminds me of something I read! Aaaand I remember BOTH of those books, so ha! :D
