I've been thinking a lot about the Sorceress. It occured to me she's a little bit like a top-notch intelligence agency - she effectively keeps great secrets, and seemingly knows all

Why do you think she wanted the knowledge of Adam being He-Man, and Adora being She-Ra, kept from their parents, and from many of their closest allies (Bow, Glimmer, and Teela)? Why were Kowl, Madame Razz, and Orko signaled out as part of an inner circle to be let in on the secret (Duncan, the Sorceress herself, and Lighthope, are pretty self-explanatory)?

Most importantly... why did she keep knowledge of the fact that she was Teela's mother from Teela?

I'm glad that the show had these elements, because they added a nice, interesting wrinkle, but you kind of have to wonder what the Sorceress' rationale for all this is.

I almost imagine the Sorceress as some grand mastermind keeping a constant eye on BOTH Eternia, and Etheria, and with He-Man and She-Ra basically being her top operatives. Almost like she's the Pennyworth to their 007.
