Why does Count Orlok has his sarcophagus at the chapel of Grünewald Manor in “Nosferatu” (2024)?

This is another enigmatic clue to the big puzzle that is Robert Eggers’ Count Orlok; because the answers to who he truly is/was are in visual storytelling of the film (iconography; sets, etc.). And Eggers is playing with the notions of “historical truth” in his story. As an Art historian, I find this fascinating.

Orlok not only chose to keep his sarcophagus in an chapel, but at the altar; the most sanctified place in any church.

Photo source: “Putting “authenticity into a legendary vampiric folktale” (SDSA - Set Decorators); this set was build on purpose, so it holds meaning to the world building of “Nosferatu” (2024)

Having his Orlok sarcophagus at the altar is a mysterious choice from Eggers part, because, in Christianity, this is the standard location for the relics (body remains) of the martyrs, to be worshipped by the faithful; or where the dead were buried to be closer to God.

When Ellen asks him to come to her on the third night, he’s standing at the altar, near his sarcophagus. He just “woke up”, but why he is at the altar? Orlok rejects Christianity as an organized religion (obviously), and he’s a worshiper of the Dacian God Zalmoxis (not a Devil worshipper as he’s slander as by the human characters), like his iconography tells us. But there might be more to him than just Paganism, and the Solomonari beliefs, here, might be more complex than they appear.

This is a private chapel, commissioned and meant to be used by the family who owned the manor (and not by the public). It’s a private place of worship.

Orlok’s sarcophagus is beneath this gothic inspired rose window; and if it had any stained glass with any biblical iconography its long gone. The consensus among Art Historians is that the rose windows might have their roots in Ancient Roman architecture, with the oculus (the most famous is at the Pantheon, in Rome). From a architectural perspective, the goal is to let natural sunlight into the building. Symbolically, oculus represent the connection between the heavens and the earth, a window to the divine. In Ancient Roman religion, it was believed the Gods entered through the oculus and watched over the worshippers below, and their prayers.

Rose windows were developed during the Middle Ages in Europe alongside the cathedral, based on the notion that “God is light”; and they encapsulate concepts as light (creation); order (rulers of the cosmos); geometry (wisdom), symmetry (perfection) and circle (infinity; oneness; immortality). While Orlok is resting on his sarcophagus during the day, he’s bathing in sun light from the heavens.

This connection between Orlok and Gothic architecture is also interesting, and is most likely connected with the 19th century Romanticism (Art movement) craze over everything Gothic from the Middle Ages, and we saw the revival of this aesthetic during this time period with Neo-Gothic or Gothic Revival. Personally, and in my professional work, I don’t use the term “style” to describe these historical aesthetics, and most of my colleagues and professors reject this term because is a narrow view of the subject. Human Orlok lived in the “Renaissance era”, in the late 16th century, after all.

This altar had three statues (usually of the saints to which the chapel itself is consecrated to, but they can be angels, too). Only one statue has survived, and is damaged. And unfortunately the resolution isn’t very good, and this is the best we got to work with.

This statue has one wing, which tells us its an angel. And he’s kneeling (or half-kneeling to be more specific). In his hand there’s a object that is crucial to identify who this angel is (iconography), unfortunately it’s very hard to perceive what it is. And without the other two statues, we can’t know for sure what’s the context here; because we find kneeling angels with many different meanings. The preservation state of the chapel indicates it’s very old, so I’m guessing the idea behind this set is, indeed, to be a building from the Middle Ages. And the point is for the viewer to recognize the presence of the angel (and his identity is not that important).

Finding an angel here, in connection with Orlok, is not that surprising because angels adorned the Temple of Solomon; and they are connected to the 13th century grimoire Ars Notoria; connected to King Solomon, and his angelic magic. Which is probably why Robert Eggers first idea (in the 2016 script) was to have Orlok talking in Enochian language, the “language of the angels”, said to have been received by Dr. John Dee and his “seer” (medium) Edward Kelly, in their communications with angels and spirits.

Dr. John Dee (1527-1608/09) was your archetypal “Renaissance man”: English mathematician, astronomer, teacher, astrologer, occultist, and alchemist, and personal “conjurer” to Queen Elizabeth I. Alongside Edward Kelly, they conducted several summoning ceremonies to speak with angles and spirits of the dead, and even managed to conjure demons on occasion. They were both alchemists, but Kelly was the one with the gift of mediumship, and divination (and the one with whom the angels talked to).

Aside from the Enochian, there are some interesting references to Dr. John Dee on Eggers’ Orlok; they were both seen as “necromancers” (“black enchanter” as the Orthodox Nuns call him); Dee himself was even imprisoned because of his occult work (we don’t know about Orlok because Robert Eggers won’t share his backstory with the public, but he wrote a few pages novella and gave it to Bill Skarsgård, and it influenced his entire performance, including the meaning of the ending). Orlok, in particular, was dead since the late 16th century until Ellen resurrected him, at the prologue (but there were legends in Transylvania about him for centuries, all the same).

Ellen; the teenager necromancer.

Dee’s occult work earned him some serious conflict with every organized Christian religion in Europe at the time (Catholics, English Anglicans, and the Protestant movement), even though he didn’t reject God (quite the opposite), he just didn’t had a rigid view of religion. Like we find in Professor Von Franz, who also conjures both angels and demons to do magic work (when he compels Ellen to reveal with whom she is communicating with).

As for the magic Orlok uses in “Nosferatu” (2024), is Solomonari (obviously); based on Romanian folklore of the Solomonari “weathermakers” and the “Dacian cloud travelers” (Zalmoxis). But it also finds parallels in Enochian elemental magic (control of the classic elements; air, water, fire and earth). His power to create nightmares and his shadow comes from Balkan folklore of the strigoi. But he has to be physically present in order to do physical things; which is why there was no “astral sex” going on between him and Ellen like the majority of the audience seems to mistakenly believe. And the only “dreams” of Orlok Ellen can have are nightmares, because as a strigoi, fear and terror are the only emotions he can create on others.

The Solomonari invocation sigil Herr Knock uses to conjure Orlok and communicate with him, is also clearly inspired by the Sigillum Dei Aemeth (“Sigil of Truth” or “Sigil of God”) by Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelly; an angelic magic seal to possess the Spirit of God and when activated, become the Living God; or the Lord God itself, and communicate with spirits, angels and archangels.

This was considered heretic and demonic by every Christian religion at the time; because, even today, Christianity believes only demons can be conjured like this; and other fractions of the occult state “daemons” are, in fact, spirits of Pagan nature, usually gods and goddesses, or elemental spirits. “Daemon” from the Greek “daímôn”; entities or spirits connected with fate or will-power, and can good, evil or morally ambiguous.

From an Historical perspective, these occult views are not entirely mistaken, because every Pagan deity was demonized by Christianity, to force the conversion of Pagans into Christianity, during the early Middle Ages in Europe. This conversion process wasn’t instantaneous, and was often violent, compelling European pagans to forsake their polytheistic religions in favor of a monotheistic one, which the common folk didn’t accept that easy; which is why we still have enduring Pagan traditions in Europe to this day. Imagine you are used to pray to several Gods, and someone comes along, and not only accuses you of being wrong, but there is only one God. Folks were used to have several Gods, one for each “subject” (area of action, sort of speak); folks couldn’t understand the idea of one God who commands everything, it was completely alien to them. Which is why the saints were introduced.

In the next centuries, Christianity would force the same process around the world during the Age of Exploration and Expansion (this was previously known as “Age of Discovery”, but most historians refuse this term nowadays).

In conclusion; it appears that (human) Orlok religious and magical beliefs might have been closer to Dr. John Dee’s. And the Solomonari, as interpreted by Robert Eggers, include a mix of Dacian Paganism (Zalmoxis), Alchemy, Enochian magic and probably Hermetic philosophy. In his human life, Orlok was an enchanter and a occult practitioner who also worked both angelic and daemonic magic; he was Professor Von Franz taken to the next level.

Which is also very fitting for the time Orlok was alive (16th century), which saw the birth of several characters who defied the strict orthodox views of the established religious authority of the Christian church (Nostradamus, Agrippa, etc.), accused of heresy, blasphemy, and some were even executed because of their beliefs. We have no idea whatsoever how Orlok died (if natural causes like illness, or something else like execution or murder).

Orlok has his sarcophagus in a chapel because no one has the monopoly on God, as the creative and ruling force of the universe. Which is what Von Franz tells Thomas and Dr. Sievers when they find out Orlok is with Ellen: “God is beyond our morals”. Von Franz also screams “redemption!” Which can also be the symbolism for Orlok’s sarcophagus beneath this rose window, and this kneeling angel; he seeks for his spirit to be set free from the Nosferatu curse (the rotten corpse where it’s trapped in), to ascend spirituality. “Deliverance”; Knock’s final words; “Go forward Thomas, set the daemon’s spirit free!” when they enter the chapel and see the sarcophagus.

But isn’t Orlok “evil”? He’s as evil as elemental, natural forces are evil. Is death evil? Are plagues evil? He denies to be a “villain”, and calls himself “an appetite”, because souls (blood) is what sustains him, and what he as to feed on to survive for long enough until Ellen decides to break the curse she, unconsciously, put on him, at the prologue. Which is a double-edged sword for him, because his soul was in the “darkest pit” (place for tormented spirits) and then was resurrected into a cursed existence (strigoi). This symbolism represents his yearning for higher spiritual realms. And this isn’t connected with Christianity specifically, because organized religions don’t hold the monopoly on “salvation” nor “redemption”.

An explanation and guide on petitions!

First off, what is a petition? A petition is kinda like a prayer that you make to a deity, spirit or the universe. However unlike a regular prayer where you are simply asking a entity for a service, you are asking them for a service in return for an offering. It depends on your practice but more me I give consistent offerings without expecting anything in return as apart of my worship, so when I'm petitioning, the offering is typically pretty rare or different in comparison to my usual offerings. It can be something handmade like jewelry or art like a song or poem. Or it can be something that's more expensive then your usual offerings. A rare stone, a statue, etc. These things don't have to be expensive or even material, it just depends on the deity.

I usually reserve petitions for situations that are more complicated and/or are really important to me so I REALLY wanna try making sure they happen best I can. Since your offering something, it can be a good time to request something big. But like any other prayer you have to keep in mind that there is a chance it won't be answered. If it isn't usually find it's for a reason even if it feels frustrating or unfair at first.

Now, how do you preform a petition? Some people like to do it very simply, just easily asking their deity and making their deal. Some people like me like to make it a little more complicated, almost like a spell. Here's how I like to do that:

I write my petition on a peace of paper, making it clear what I need, what I'm offering, and that I am grateful for all I've received so far.

I'll put a couple herbs that are safe to burn in in the paper before folding it. Usually they correlate to the prayer or as an extra little offering to the deity.

I fold the paper, usually towards me so the energy of the prayer is going my way. Or you can do it in reverse to send ten energy away from you, it depends on the situation.

If they have a symbol or sigil I usually draw it on top of the paper. If not, writing their name works too.

I have personal oils for my deities that I like to put on top of the sigil/name.

I wrap the paper in twine to keep it condensed and sealed.

As an extra seal, I'll burn a candle the color of whatever property I'm asking for and use the wax to hold the twine together, further binding it and using a little color magic to boost the requests.

Then I burn it. You want to make sure you're using a fire safe bowl of some kind and I wouldn't suggest doing it inside if you have sensitive smoke detectors or bad lungs, they can make a lot of smoke.

I usually consider it to have been received and accepted if it burns up completely without any issue. If there are issues (it not burning, a lot of crackling and popping, it burning for way to long, etc) it may have been rejected and I'd suggest using divination of some kind to figure out why. Maybe they didn't want the offering, maybe they didn't want to go through with the request, stuff like that. It's just good to know.

Florence Welch song lyrics that feel like prayers:

Oh Lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my knees 'Cause I belong to the ground now And it belongs to me...

I want no more than this.

-"Mother

Literally all of "No Choir"

Well can you see me? I cannot see you Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view In this blindness I'm condemned to Well can you hear me? I cannot hear you Every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to And there's no one left to sing to

-"Casandra"

And I want you so badly, but you could be anyone I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song

-"Sky Full of Song"

Hi! You mentioned in your tags several days ago that angels (& demons?) are more like mushrooms than computers, would you happen to have places to look into that comparison more?

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply, and sorry- no. This honestly just comes from my own experience (I suppose I should have said 'UPG' in those tags).

The reason I find angels to be a bit like mushrooms is because angels, like mushrooms, are a form made up by the very same substance that makes the vast network they are apart of. All the same network, and yet aware that they are themselves and capable of communicating with their various aspects.

Themselves yet together.

Now unlike mushrooms, angels very much have seats of power and governance. There is a hierarchy and I have appealed to numerous angels of various status- but there has always been something different in my interactions with angels that I couldn't quite put my finger on until I read Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake (particularly one passage that I couldn't seem to find again). There is a strange sort of uncanny lack of personal-identity to most angels, and a kind of unrelenting, unblinking, sameness that reminds me a lot of what Merlin Sheldrake describes in his book (I say most because some angels, particularly the more well known ones, do have rather large personalities for reasons that I may explain some other time). It just seemed apt as a metaphor in the way they communicate and function in comparison to other spirits- and how they are, like, everywhere.

When I sing in Encohian, anywhere at any time- the shower in spring, the forest in summer, around a fire with friends in winter- it feels like I'm lifting up a moldy old log, or looking under knotted tree roots, and noticing rings of mushrooms. It's not that the angels are summoned to me- they're just already there, beneath the wet earth that is our physical reality.
