I need to know how the whole house takeover situation began with Agatha and Ralph. Like did she show up and immediately spell him into being Pietro, or was it more complicated than that? Was it a breaking-and-entering, tie-up-Ralph-and-store-him-in-the-attic-until-needed scenario, did she say she was assigned to him by the FBI as some weird WITSEC roommate situation, did she just knock on his door one day and was like “hey, I’m your wife now”?? Or none of the above??? I need a flashback of this ASAP because I know whatever happened was hilarious

Maggie’s pendants and good omens

Yes, you’ve read it right. This post is going to deal with some literal good omens, not just title drop! But first things first, let’s take a closer look at the topic of this analysis.

A toucan

The top necklace is a lovely design involving a crowned toucan — believed to be a messenger of gods able to travel between the spiritual and the physical world, often associated with rain and rainbow (a Christian symbol of divine love, grace, and mercy, a reminder of the covenant between God and humanity to spare the latter from future trials like the Flood) — encircled by a gold band (a symbol of infinity, eternal love and promise) spun by a small butterfly (a symbol of transformation, hope, and rebirth). All three symbols combined seem to deliver a divine message of hope for rebirth, possibly resurrection, and the eternal life. Very fitting in the context of the Second Coming.

The fact that toucans were revered by the native South Americans as rainbringers strengthens the symbolic meaning of another type of bird we can spot on Maggie’s clothes in the very first episode, as her character introduction — a swallow. Swallows flying low are also believed to be harbingers of rain and bad weather. If you see one close to Earth or a building, it means that there’s a storm — or a certain biblical tempest — on the horizon.

In Ancient Greece and Rome swallows were representing Aphrodite, goddess of love. In Christianity they were considered to be of God and symbolized hope, awakening, and revival of life as messengers of spring and protectors from winter colds. Also helped Jesus on the Cross — according to a Christian legend, a group of swallows was supposed to take out the thorns from the Crown of Thorns and alleviate His Passion on the Cross. Humans banding together in the name of good have been a big theme in the series ever since The Them made an appearance, and from what we already know about the unpublished Good Omens sequel, we can assume that Jesus is going to take the spotlight in the upcoming season.

Maggie definitely attracts sudden inexplicable weather changes, like a thunderstorm with weirdly localized lightning strikes or a sudden downpour. And we’re still waiting for some vavooming (and the following happy ending) to happen in S3.

A heart with an eye

Now, the more nuanced clue hidden in the bottom necklace. I know that some of us were trying to tackle the concept of Maggie’s eye in a heart pendant suggesting her Masonic connotations, but this symbol (or the Eye of Providence in general) isn’t strictly Masonic, it isn’t even limited only to Judeo-Christian art. And while it is used a lot in Christian iconography, we should focus on a very specific example of it already referenced in the show.

Buckle up, we’re making a parachute dive into S1.

It seems like our old friend, Agnes Nutter, still has our backs.

Prophecy 4020:

Let the wheel of fate turne, let harts enjoin, there are othere fyres than mine; when the whirl wynd whirls, reach oute one to another.

If you look closely at the bottom right corner of this frame, you will see that as an illustration for the above prophecy the production team chose a 1611 engraving titled The Minde should have a fixed Eye On Objects, that are plac’d on High first found in Gabriel Rollenhagen’s Nucleus emblematum selectissimorum.

In 1635 it was published in A Collection of Emblemes, Ancient and Moderne Quickened With Metrical Illustrations, both Morall and Divine, Etc by George Wither with the accompanying hymn:

A Heart, which bore the figure of an Eye

Wide open to the Sunne; by some, was us'd,

When in an Emblem, they would signifie

A Minde, which on Celestiall Matters mus'd:

Implying, by the same, that there is nought

Which in this lower Orbe, our Eyes can see,

So fit an Object for a manly thought,

As those things, which in Heav'n above us be.

God, gave Mankinde (above all other Creatures)

A lovely Forme, and upward-looking Eye,

(Among the rest of his peculiar Features)

That he might lift his Countenance on high:

And (having view'd the Beauty, which appeares

Within the outward Sights circumference)

That he might elevate above the Sphæres,

The piercing Eye, of his Intelligence.

Then, higher, and still higher strive to raise

His Contemplations Eyes, till they ascend

To gaine a glimpse of those eternall Rayes,

To which all undepraved Spirits tend.

For, 'tis the proper nature of the Minde

(Till fleshly Thoughts corrupt it) to despise

Those Lusts whereto the Body stands inclin'd;

And labour alwayes, upward to arise.

Some, therefore, thought those Goblins which appeare

To haunt old Graves and Tombes, are Soules of such,

Who to these loathsome places doomed were,

Because, they doted on the Flesh too much.

But, sure we are, well-minded Men shall goe

To live above, when others bide below.

And hey, guess what 4020, i.e., the number of the prophecy, symbolizes in Strong’s Concordance? Periergazomai, a Greek word meaning “to waste one's labor about something” — to meddle, going beyond proper boundaries (where a person doesn't belong); to fixate on what others are doing, instead of doing what the person himself is supposed to do.

It appears only once in the Bible:

2 Thessalonians 3:11: We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies. Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat. And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good.

To make things slightly more interesting, in the Hebrew version of Strong’s Concordance 4020 has another meaning — migbaloth, meaning “twisted things, i.e. cords”. Which doesn’t make much sense until we read the actual passage:

Exodus 28:24 and two chains of pure gold, twisted like cords; and you shall attach the corded chains to the settings.

And compare it to the most recent post on the topic published directly by Word of God:

What if all these clues didn’t apply to Maggie and Nina, but Aziraphale and Crowley instead? What if Maggie served as a messenger — consciously or not — just like the toucan, delivering the prophecy to those who need it most?

“When the tempest comes and darkness and great storms, and the dead will leave their graves and walk the Earth once more and there will be great lamentations for the end is near, don’t lose hope, hold hands and look up.”

Basically what Aziraphale and Crowley already did when they performed the 25 Lazarii miracle, only with no interference from Gabriel this time around.

And, if both Strong’s Concordance and Maggie’s personal addition to her second pendant are to be believed, with a wedding band somehow involved in the process.

au where raffi discovers the 21st century concept of ‘escape rooms’ + makes the la sirena crew try out increasingly complicated holo-escape rooms that she’s found..... until the rest of the crew refuse to take part anymore because raffi’s just singlehandedly solving them in like 10 minutes flat whilst the rest of them are occasionally allowed to unlock a padlock or read out a clue for her

Today we celebrate the Holy Virgin Martyr Agnes of Rome. Saint Agnes was a young virgin of noble birth, born in Rome during the reign of Diocletian. Living a life fitting to her name, Agnes in Greek means "pure" and in Latin "lamb", she exhorted many women of her area to seek the Truth in Christ as the One True God and to worship Him through a chaste life. For her apostolic activity, her fame was spread throughout Rome and thus led to the arrest and trial of the young Agnes before the tribunal of the City Prefect. Because of her refusal to deny the Lord Jesus Christ as her Saviour, she was handed over to the keeper of a brothel to be defiled, clothed only in her undergarment. But the Lord did not abandon his handmaiden. Every time a man attempted to approach the virgin, they were suddenly held back by an invisible force. Finally when a certain man, more lewd than all the rest charged at the girl with all his might, he was struck by an angel and fell down dead. When the Prefect refused to believe her recount of how the man died, she prayed before him and the dead man was immediately raised back to life. The Prefect, amazed, cried out "Great is the power of the Christians!" The vicious pagan bystanders were so hart of heart that they attributed this miracle to sorcery and demanded that the virgin be executed. The Prefect gave in to pressure and condemned the pure Agnes to be burnt at the stake. The virgin leaped into the fire willingly, signing herself with the Cross and with prayer on her lips, she gave up her pure soul to the Lord at only twelve years of age. Pious Christians collected her holy relics and buried them reverently, building a magnificent basilica over her grave which became a wellspring of healing and a source of consolation for many Christians. May she intercede for us + #saint #agnes #rome #martyr #virginmartyr #rome #christian #prayer #virtue #pure #lamb #greek #latin #prefect #jesus #christ #jesuschrist #orthodox (at Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnpu2qAhF-y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sarah J Maas: I need a name for Feyre's oldest sister. The mean one, who's secretly super traumatized and depressed.

SJM: It should flow well with Elain and Feyre, and i need it to have five letters like the other two.

SJM: But not, like, a normal name. A cool name, a different name. But not too out there.

You're My Home (Part 3)

Pairing:Teresa x female reader

Summary:Despite being given the chance to make something of yourself you don't see the point of going on.

It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair, it wasn't fair, it wasn't fair. Teresa had found the cure. She had the way of saving the world right in her hands. She had the answers that people were starting to doubt would ever exist. She had the way this could have been stopped years ago.

And she gave it all up. She had given it all up for Thomas. For the boy who left. For the boy who hadn't been on her side. For the boy who hadn't understood her. For the boy who never knew who she actually was. For the boy who never realized how selfless she actually is. For the boy who hadn't made her feel what you did.

Thomas. She had given it up for Thomas.

She had helped with his gunshot as you were distracting Janson. She had been carrying him to the roof as you were waiting for them so you could somehow find safety.

Though if you were honest, you had actually been waiting for her. Despite the flames surrounding you, all you could bare to think about was Teresa.

You were near the edge of the roof looking out. You knew there was no point in doing anything else. You had just stood there while the star crossed lovers cried, accepting the others embrace.

Then, you saw it. The Berg. You saw your way out. To freedom. To hope. To normalcy. To a better life. To everything you had dreamed of.

As you turned around to tell them though, you saw it. Teresa with her lips pressed against Thomas's with a passion that seemed to be radiating off of their very souls as tears streamed down their faces during their kiss.

You had watched them as your heart broke in your chest and your breath being stolen. In just a few seconds you had lost the only person you could call home all over again. Just as you had thought love could be real, you were proven that it was.

It just wasn't meant for you.

Teresa stared at you, her hand outreached as tears picked her eyes. As you stood still, not accepting any of the help or chance of life, she swore she could feel something being ripped away from her, as if you held parts of her flesh and bones.

"Please?"She begged, being so close to the edge that she could feel the fire reaching for her arms. Not that she cared. All she wanted was you. All she ever wanted was you, safe, with her forever. A life full of love and happiness. A life worth living.

Not a life with Thomas. He could never truly give her that, and she knew that if she accepted his love she would be settling. And Teresa does not settle, and she will not start today. It's either you or nobody.

You didn't want this anymore. Every day you just felt more and more unworthy of anything good. You had spent years isolating yourself to find the cure that would have saved your family. Then, Teresa did, and while you were more than happy about that, it was gone. Even if it wasn't, there would soon be nobody left to give it to. Everything you knew would be ruined. Even those city lights Teresa made you see the beauty in would be no more.

You didn't think she felt the same though. It didn't cross your mind that the fear of death and emotions of seeing someone who brought pain and love overwhelmed to the point where kissing Thomas seemed logical. All you saw was that she had kissed him in a way you didn't think she could ever kiss you.

Looking up at her, you managed to give the girl you love a small smile as tears streaked down your cheeks. Realizing exactly what you were doing, she attempted to make you give in and grab you by force, not caring or even thinking about the burns she would get.

It was too late though. The second her hands that had shown you softness touched the flames the building collapsed, sending you with it.

Watching the one person who truly understood her willingly die, she broke down in tears. Seeing the way you looked up between her and the stars you had missed, the smile and tears still etched onto your face, it all hit her.

You were her only reason to stay. If she went back to the Safe Haven, she would never fully be trusted to not put the world first again. She would never be truly forgiven for the blood people kept saying was on her hands. She would never have someone who knew her pain and how to make it okay again.

She wouldn't have you. She wouldn't have a home, and without a home what was the point of even being alive?

As she tried to fall into the fire with you, Minho pulled her back. Screaming and crying and pleading to be allowed to be with the girl who means everything, she felt something else break. Something that could never, ever, ever be fixed.

Because the only person that would have been able to fix it was you.
