fannishlissOh, the ep was so awesome. I was full of squee from beginning to end.
I love nerdy Henry Winchester! He belongs to a supernatural nerd society!! He's essentially a Watcher!!! HOW CAN I JOIN.
As soon as they said "Albert Magnus" I was like GREAT MEDIEVAL ALCHEMIST Albertus Magnus? Why yes.
And of course he didn't realize that Abaddon would destroy them. That's sad.
Inasmuch as I was ALL SQUEE ALL THE TIME for the whole episode, I had three quibbles:
1. Apparently the Winchesters produce parthenogenetically, with little Winchesters springing fully formed from the loins of their fathers, and their fathers' fathers, and their fathers' fathers' fathers, ad astra. Grrr. SPN, you know better than this.
2. Apparently, the Men of Letters had concentrated all their eggs in one secret room in Illinois. Highly unlikely!!!!
3. And Sam and Dean didn't think, oh, secret branch of enochian knowledge, really? We don't know any ANGELS TO ASK ABOUT THIS???? Apparently John Dee was a Winchester? Actually I'm full of glee about this.
I love love love this new storyline. The potential that Angels were manipulating the Men of Letters is astronomical -- agreed? Down to the fact that they think of Hunters as "Apes"?? I wonder how many of them have been Vessels? I am completely full of thoughts.
Plus what are the odds that the Campbells didn't know about them? Seems very likely they did, right?
....
Okay, I've spent the last two hours researching the sigil that Henry wears. it seemed very familiar to me. I want you all to know that I already scoured John's journal and it is not in there. Too bad. It does resemble Azazel's sigil, if you kind of unravel it, right?
So, it is called the Unicursal Hexagram. It is strongly associated with Aleister Crowley, the Golden Dawn, and Thelema. As a sigil, it's derived from the kabbalistic Tree of Life. Go here to learn more about the unicursal hexagram:
http://hermetic.com/jones/on-the-formulae-of-the-unicursal-hexagram.html --this is a very good link if you link planetary symbology.
And, If you like this stuff at all, I do recommend John Martineau's "a Little Book of Coincidence in the solar system" which shows how these stars are replicated in the orbits of the planets.
Basically it means that these guys are kabbalistic; essentially they are Scientific Magicians. [i need the twinkly font] aaand, yeah, that was made overt with the reference to Albertus Magnus. I freaking love this stuff (except for the too much math). Holy crap, you guys know I did my diss on Mary Shelley and Frankenstein right???? Supernatural has its claws around MY VERY SOUL.
I don't have have a tattoo, but if I did, it would be the Sign of Hermes, the symbol of the planet Mercury. I've been using it as a sigil since I was a kid -- so has my husband, and no lie, that's How We Met.
Please, I want that tie tack YESTERDAY. But now, I know if I wear it, I'll get creepy looks from Crowley disciples. I'll be like NO NO PLEASE BACK OFF WITH YOUR OFFERS OF SEX MAGICK I'M A MAN OF LETTERS. Bwa ha ha.

probably I should do more today than just geek out about last night's ep. Okay. trying to go take a walk now!!! the wind sure is blowing though....

This show is so dude-centric, my eyes are sore from rolling.
And I loved how both Sam and Dean come from both sides the brains and the brawn.
Also, Abbadon! Wasn't she fabulous?

Hee! I had EXACTLY the same thought. Plus my best friend would smack me. He haaaaates Crowley.

LOL yes well. There's also the whole bloodlines going back to Cain and Abel which doesn't quite work what with...you know the death of Abel and all. Uh.

Date: 2013-02-17 05:21 pm (UTC)I always read cards by looking at the actual images on the card, not by memorization, and Crowley's are just so damn ugly I don't even want to look at them!
