Something I find really interesting is the notion of the greater influx of old things coming again correlating to the greater change at the end of an Age.
Quote:WEEK 16 QUESTION
Question: Is there any relationship between Foretelling and Min’s viewings? Or is Foretelling a talent that only manifests in someone who can channel? Is Min’s ability completely unique, or has it appeared in Ages past?
ROBERT JORDAN: There is no relationship whatsoever between Foretelling, which manifests only in someone who can channel, and Min’s viewings. There have been versions of Min’s viewings in some previous ages, though not exactly the same. Min, and the sniffers, and wolfbrothers appearing are all highly indicative, you know. New abilities, for this Age, are appearing, and that in itself indicates great changes coming. Great changes underway. Min’s abilities will not remain unique; we have already seen one wolfbrother besides Perrin and Elyas, though a pitiful soul who couldn’t master his gift, and there will be other sniffers. The Age is changing. The Wheel never stands still.
