You conjure this god called Kawil.

It's like a messenger, like a middleman kind of character.
And then Hermes sort of, this cow wheel character sort of has a snake that has, I can't make this stuff up, has a snake that's actually his leg.
And what you're actually seeing here is actually his, yeah, there it is.
You're actually seeing the snake's head open.
So it's actually all going through cow wheel.

So if you want to talk to the dead, for example, you need something like a centipede that almost bridges that gap between the world of living and the world of the dead.
And if you've ever seen one of those big giant centipedes, they're creepy, right?
They have that quality to them, right?
Where the millipedes, they have that kind of quality to them.
