Welcome lehcarice9! I liked your questions, particularly the way you set out and thought about it from each angle. Though they have been discussed before, we do need to keep raising the unknowns and getting fresh perspectives.lehcarice9 wrote:now i'll get back to studying so i dont re-ask questions again.
Though your name contracts to the unfortunately initials BS (sack36 wrote: I realize it's still just doing more speculation, but that reference by bree just rocked me. What if the ceremony involves the tracing of the meridian lines on the chosen to flay off the living flesh to eat to make a covenant?
To quote Bree again, "eww!" and how creepy do you have to be to think that up?

), that theory is not. That's the most coherant theory I've heard so far. In fact, I think I'm backing it, it's got a real chance! Though where you have 'covenant' I would be equating more to a ritual to invoke the 'eternal life' aspect of blood and the consuming of flesh, which is a common symbolism for it.
Can you point out where this is explicitly stated from a canon source? I've heard of her having some sort of birth mark but never seen an original source stating it was in the shape of an HoO symbol, though I have heard it rumored.sack36 wrote: The scar on her back is in the shape of HoO icon
While it's not been stated flat out like that, it does look just like the Watcher symbol, and the Creators have admitted they told Jessica to get a bathing suit that would allow the symbol to be visible that low on her back:TheeBerean wrote:Can you point out where this is explicitly stated from a canon source?

It was in the third airing of Mixed Media, I believe. When they had Jess as the guest.voyboy wrote:I always thought it was a lens flair or a reflection from the sun and water. I passed it off as fan-fic and some photoshop. I missed that the creators asked her to specifically show this. When was that? Let me know if you remember specifically.
Same here.voyboy wrote:And I bet that's no birthmark at all. I'll bet they branded her.
Me too. Like ....cattle.voyboy wrote:And I bet that's no birthmark at all. I'll bet they branded her.
So, if certain Greek myths referenced Cannibalism and Thelema is Greek for 'Will', then maybe there can be more Ancient Greek influences in the religion. This might be the reason why eating Bree might sound like a great idea for the Order.A number of stories in Greek mythology involve cannibalism, in particular cannibalism of close family members, for example the stories of Thyestes, Tereus and especially Cronus, who was Saturn in the Roman pantheon. The story of Tantalus also parallels this. These mythologies inspired Shakespeare's cannibalism scene in Titus Andronicus.
