> Most witches don’t believe in gods. They know that the gods exist, of course. They even deal with them occasionally. But they don’t believe in them. They know them too well. It would be like believing in the postman.
i see the opposite a lot, too, though: articles that don't need a picture but have some marginally-related stock photo tacked on just so there's a picture.
also consider the labor involved in upkeep. this is one of the rationales for nightwear: it's much easier to wash a change of nightclothes every so often than large sheets and blankets.
