You hear the term “Conjunction of the Spheres” a lot in The Witcher, in the games, novels, and especially the television series. So, what was it?

Every time a lore-heavy series like The Witcher answers one question, it manages to pose several more in the process, including with its references to “the Conjunction” and “the cataclysm.” The concept will be explored a lot more heavily in the spin-off series, The Witcher: Blood Origin. However, the Conjunction of the Spheres has had long-lasting and far-reaching effects that are helpful to understand for your enjoyment of the main series as well.

We can’t explain the Conjunction without looking the Multiverse Theory overall. It’s like Carl Sagan said: “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.” And while we might not have invented it, we sure do want to explain.

Multiverse-based media is rather popular these days, with Marvel and its MCU dominating the box office with the concept in the last few years, but they’re not the first or the only to tell stories in a world where multiple distinct realities are occurring simultaneously. The Multiverse Theory posits that there exist any number of infinite realities as similar to our own as they are different from it, all of which are happening at the exact same time as the reality we’re living in right now.
