I first published pictures of some of these Mysten Underhill locations way back in January 2012, but didn’t ever get around to generating the accompanying text. At the time I was calling the community Happy.
Actually as I’m checking now through those old 2012 posts, I named the Mysten Parva community Happy, with the ajoined Mysten Underhill neighborhood having an as yet undetermined appelation. Did I get them backwards?
This seemingly out-of-place cottage acts as the southernmost of 11 official Mysten Underhill buildings (as I had Baker Bloch count them off a second ago).
We start in the front room of 2, and a picture touting the personhood of the Undead. The whole house gives off a vibe of Halloween, starting with the interactive witch greeting you near the front door named Esme Weatherwax, *which* is the name of a fictional character from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series.
An I Ching Coin dominates a central table. You can touch it to open a web page and receive an instant I Ching reading. As I’m using it now through Baker Bloch, I was given hexagram 45:

Come together. The ruler is in his palace. Schedule an audience. Make an offering. Take a stand and the result will be good.
Within the bedroom are found more vaguely pagan or occult paraphenalia such as a broom, a mortar and pestle, a Vesta’s blessing bowl, an Egyptian chest of drawers, a crow on a perch, and, perhaps most telling, a human skull. You can meditate on the “zafu cushion”, as Baker Bloch is demonstrating below.
Esme Weatherwax stands tall over all. The ruler of the palace? Here’s a web site on this powerful witch:

Looking out the bedroom window toward the Church of the Silicon Soul. Does church leader psimagus Hax approve of having a witch live so close to his sanctuary?
The Mysten Underhill stream curls around the cottage, as if protecting it or separating it from the rest of the community.
Jesus towering above the cottage and village. We now know this statue is the same size… well, I’ll save that surprise for a later post.
Looking back toward Mysten Underhill from beside the Church of the Silicon Soul located in neighboring sim Goremoor. We’ll also talk soon about a perceived separation of the sims Mysten and Goremoor, perhaps purposely enacted by Hax. If so, it seems that the sim name Siliconicus might also be involved. Perhaps even others in the general area (Fumb?).
Curious metallic sculpture called “Twisty (Sculpt Prim Example)” at the front of the church. The sculpture lies in Mysten, the church in Goremoor. The statue stands at the lower right corner of the church, as Esme Weatherwax stands at the lower right corner of what appears to be her cottage. Purposeful mirroring?
Okay, more curiousities here (!). The sculture is actually positioned right on the line between Mysten to the west and Goremoor to the east. Exactly 1/2 lies in each; this had to be done on purpose. And when Baker Bloch touched the shiny object to see what would happen, he found an object inside called “Diana The Huntress”, another sculpture and one that had existed in Collagesity in both its Noru and Rubi incarnations. He promptly rezzed and positioned it inside Spongeberg’s Magic 12×12, “collaging it in” at a most logical spot: directly behind the ladder leading up to The Snug. All this seems most peculiar. Curiouser and curiouser I might even add.
The “Twist” in front of The Church of the Silicon Soul.

* Especially interesting to me as I’m reading down the text currently is this description of her personality:
Granny Weatherwax has a near-unshakeable belief in her own abilities, which has thus far proved accurate, and an extreme distrust of stories. She was intended by nature to be a “wicked witch” but, at an early age, realised she had to be “the good one” to balance her sister, Lily (Lilith). Ironically Lily, who became a fairy godmother, was convinced she was the good one, because she gave people what she thought they should want. Granny Weatherwax, however, gives people what she knows they really need. Witches themselves seem hesitant to use “bad” or “good” as descriptors, especially when discussing very powerful witches; as Pratchett would put it: being Good (with a capital G) and Right (with a capital R) doesn’t necessarily make one Nice (with a capital N), and Granny isn’t (Nice, that is). Granny prefers to be respected, and if that is tinged with an element of fear, so be it. And except for those who know her well, such as Nanny Ogg, Magrat Garlick, Agnes Nitt, and Tiffany Aching, people do respect and/or fear her rather than like her. However, very young children seem unintimidated by her because of a reputation that she won’t intentionally harm them. People in Lancre know that she will always come when they need her and do her best for them, because that is Right (with a capital R).
Another depiction of Esme or Granny Weatherwax.
