SUPERNATURAL 1.11 "Scarecrow" | REVIEW

okayyy!!! i am reviewing select episodes from [tumblr].com's favourite show of all time-- Supernatural!! i've watched SPN 30 trillion times, and i just started rewatching it AGAIN, and as a mythology buff, i thought it would be fun to explore the fact vs fiction of some of the episodes :)))

OVERVIEW: Sam and Dean Winchester must defeat an unnamed Vanir god who resides in an orchard and preys on young couples who have been sent as sacrifices by a creepy town.

RATING: 8/10. i liked it!!!! it wasn't unrealistic (i thought at least), the scarecrow was scary. good plot, good ending!

AVAILABLE AT: idk where u can watch this for free sorry. if you have Prime or Binge, or maybe if u live in the US u can watch it on the CW or something

all episodes // next episode

if you haven't seen spn and intend to watch, do not read below unless you want spoilers!!!!!!

if you know more about what i'm gonna write below, please feel free to share or correct me!! ^-^

THINGS I LIKED / FACTS:

good ending 👍i like that the Vanir god actually takes the old couple when he's unable to get Dean and Emily (the niece who nearly gets sacrificed).. i think it's nice because it's brutal-- the old couple didn't imagine that they would end up being the sacrifices themselves but that's the way it went, and i liked how indiscriminate the scarecrow was. he just took anybody.. it was the blood that counted.

related to this-- when the old lady said to Emily, "that's what sacrifice means... giving up something you love for the greater good." that hit really hard i think. family having to sacrifice someone they love is the MOST COMMON trope in mythical stories ever... the gods are always asking for the sacrifice of people precious; see Agamemnon, Artemis, and Iphigenia for instance.

now, i've seen this episode 5 million times, and for some reason i've always thought that the god specific in this episode was Freyr??? but upon rewatching, Freyr is never explicitly mentioned, only that the god is a Vanir.

given that the townspeople are asking for the town to be fertile and their crops to grow despite the bad weather, i think selecting a Vanir god did make sense-- the Vanir are typically associated with prosperity and wealth. Freyja & Freyr, perhaps the most well known Vanir, together are responsible for good weather, gold, peace, beauty, fertility, etc., so i think that part checked out.

ok so let's talk about sacrifice first.

blood sacrifice was central part of the Norse religion- blót was the practice of killing animals (and sometimes humans) and splattering it over people, buildings, stones, etc. to get blessings.

analysis of animal bones dating back to this time period also suggest that oxen were specifically killed at the neck so that blood could spurt out like a fountain for the purpose of blót, which i thought was pretty interesting.

now. the human sacrifice.

the Vikings didn't really keep written records of their rituals and practices, so most of what we know is gathered from Christian-era writers, and as a result, we have to take some things with a grain of salt because those writings can be biased.

but, one guy who i keep seeing is brought up is Adam of Bremen. Mr. Bremen was a German medieval chronicler in the early 11th century, and in one of his works (Gesta Hammaburgensis Ecclesiae Pontificum), he writes that at the Temple of Uppsala (a large Norse temple dedicated to Thor, Odin, and Freyr):

The sacrifice is of this nature: of every living thing that is male, they offer nine heads, with the blood of which it is customary to placate gods of this sort. The bodies they hang in the sacred grove that adjoins the temple... Even dogs and horses hang there with men. (read more)

now, even though Mr. Bremen wasn't actually there to witness this, lots of people accept his version of events because they're highly detailed.. maybe the most detailed records we have of what went down for the Vikings in terms of ritual practices.

so, as far as accuracy goes so far, there isn't much about sacrificing a man and a woman together annually to appease any of the Vanir, but i don't think the idea is too far-fetched given the existence of the blót as a real tradition.

BUT. i did find something else.

Mr. Bremen also writes about a disturbing practice in which men were thrown down a well to drown alive in the hopes that townsfolk would receive wishes.

a note in Mr. Bremen's writings describes a large tree that was always in season regardless of it being Winter or Summer or Spring.. hmm...... that's a bit eerie.

Near this temple stands a very large tree with wide-spreading branches, always green winter and summer. What kind it is nobody knows. There is also a well at which the pagans are accustomed to make their sacrifices and to plunge a live man into it. If he is not found, the people’s wish will be granted.

i think this tree could be where the SPN got the idea of "if you burn down the central tree, the Vanir god will die too".

AND. there's also this idea of "if you don't make the sacrifice, your wishes won't come true".. which i think is exactly the idea that the townsfolk in this episode were following.

regarding the well sacrifices-- wells in Trelleborg, Sweden was discovered to contain the bones of both animals and children as young as 4 years old which seems to agree with Adam's account of the well ritual.

anyways. to conclude. this episode is not solid in facts, but it's not utterly ridiculous either. i think they did a decent job trying to tie fact with fiction, and of course, at the end of the day, the show intends to entertain not inform.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE:

i feel like there could have been more Norse references idk.

there were markings on the central tree that Sam and Dean burned down, and i THINK that the mayor guy (Uncle Harley) had a ring that matched the runes/pattern on the tree?? but the lighting from these early episodes was so gloomy and dark it was difficult to see.

i also wish they had actually named who the scarecrow was :((

PLEASE RELEASE SOME DEVELOPMENT NOTES FROM THIS EPISODE @ SPN WRITING TEAM.

Freyja Dean

She made a bench that created a bench that looked like a book for the natural literacy trust this was to raise money for the charity raising money for children’s literacy. This was a interesting project that I looked at to help with my creativity to help me to come up with new and inventive idea’s.

Hihi! It's almost 3 am where I live but I need this to tell as many people as I can: I JUST TURNED IN MY LAST ASSIGNMENT. FOREVER. NO MORE UNDERGRAD.

I'm literally getting my degree in 2 days!!!! It's taken 4 years to get here.

I got a new funko! My favorite demon slayer character, the blorbo that is above all my other blorbos. His birthday was yesterday (may 10) so it was very fitting that I got him the same day. I love him.

I also got a haircut yesterday! I'm walking the stage at graduation and I'm shaking the dean's hand so I want to look amazing lol.

Oliver update! He threw up on my leg last night... I think he was stressed.. had a really bad day at work bc of stuff. But other than that he's doing good he's being super cute and stuff. The last cat is my neighbors cat. Her name is Freyja and I sometimes refer to her as Ollie's girlfriend. They both meow at each other through windows, they both have medical conditions, and they both watch birds on YouTube. She's super grumpy and violent and tiny, and he's dumb friendly and a mass as big as the state of Ohio.

My bestfriend of almost 7 years is coming up to celebrate my graduation so of we do anything fun I'll let ya know! I pick them up Friday from the airport :3

I hope you've been doing good!

hi Jen! congratulations on almost graduating! proud of you!

I hope Olivers okay, he and freyja are very cute, also nice funko

ive been doing okayish, pretty stressed about about college, still a few exams left. but I'm holding on haha

kitties <3

I've been playing some new games, the Stanley parable, portal (i completed it, childhood dream fulfilled) and recently arcade spirits the new challengers. I'm also playing Stardew valley and the sims, using lots of mods (although yesterday i had a mod kill my sim in the middle of gig (he's an actor), so rude (healthcare mod, he got an aneurysm) but i cheated to get him back to life)

I'm growing more facial hair, very happy about it, I'm getting gendered correctly in public a lot more so that's nice! I'm almost not vitamin d deficient anymore too.

it was nice to hear from you! i hope you have a good time at graduation and have a lot of fun!
