About The Cursed Rabbits Foot

Afternoon Hunters,

One of my favorite episodes of season three of Supernatural, the episode is called "Bad Day at Black Rock." In this episode, the Winchester brothers find out that somebody broke into their father's storage locker, so they go to investigate, and they find, among odds and ends, that one box is missing off the shelf. We later found out that a group of thieves hired by a buyer had taken the box. Just as curiosity gets the best of them and they see what's inside the box, Sam and Dean Track them down and take back the property. It turns out to be a genuine rabbit's foot inside the box. During the scuffle to get it back, Sam gets the foot, and suddenly several lucky moves happen simultaneously in their favor. They win the fight and walk away, and luck seems to rain down on Sam as he has possession of the rabbit's foot. Although they find out later that the rabbit's foot is a cursed object, it'll bring the owner luck for a time, but the moment they lose it, all that luck runs sour (and everybody loses it). At a diner the boys stop at, a mystery woman swipes the rabbit's foot from Sam, and he experiences a shower of bad luck. Things break around him, he's insanely clumsy, and nothing seems to go right. The woman who took the foot is named Bella, and she was the buyer that hired the thieves to get the foot originally. She was hired by a larger partner buyer to acquire the foot since it is a rare charmed/ cursed object.

It just gets more amusing from here as the guys scuffle to get the foot back because once luck turns bad, the owner of the foot dies, so to prevent anyone else from dying, they need to burn the foot to break the curse. As they finally face off with Bella, Dean gets a hold of the foot and gets the upper hand, and tosses it to Bella, who catches the foot in her bare hand, cursing her too. The group burns the foot and goes their separate ways. Though it wasn't until Bella was gone that Dean realized that she swiped the lottery tickets he'd won with the luck of the foot, and he had $1,500 worth of tickets in that bundle.


This episode cracks me up every time because it's one of the lighter episodes emotionally in the show and honestly hilarious. Everything that could go wrong does go wrong, and with that bad luck turned on you, how do you fix it?

Consequences aside, though, if you had access to a good luck charm, what's one thing you would want to happen?

The Men of Letters Bunker

 Happy Sunday, Hunters! This week's blog will discuss a large turning point in Supernatural, one of my favorites in the series. So up until this point, we have talked about hunting, monsters, weapons, etc., the whole nine about what the Winchester brothers mainly do throughout this show, but one thing I haven't touched on is how widespread the hunting network is. In season 7/8, Sam and Dean run across the knowledge of a society called the Men of Letters.  The Men of Letters were a society active in the 1940s/1950s that dealt with mysteries that are not easily explainable to men. AKA a higher order of monster hunters who think they are better than actual hunters. Only a few hunters were trusted to know about the Men of Letters for security reasons. The boys find out about this society through their paternal grandfather (Henry Winchester), who used a spell to travel through time and ended up in their present-day 2013 to escape a demon called Abaddon, who is a Knight of Hell (a s...

Garth

 Good evening Hunters, This week we will be discussing a slightly different character in the supernatural verse: Garth. Garth is one of the funnier characters in the show because he's not the standard hunter type that we have seen/discussed up to this point. In comparison to Sam and Dean, Garth appears like the quirky, nerdy younger brother. Garth is short and very thin in comparison to the boys, who are tall and broad-shouldered. He may not look like much, but Garth is very knowledgeable, scrappy, and brings a positive attitude to hunting. When Dean meets Garth he gives him the cold shoulder because he thinks he doesn't take the job seriously and that he is a dead weight on the case. But Garth shows Dean his worth and that there are different ways to approach hunting than just a bruting attitude who uses force to kill monsters. Garth shows the boys that brain power in hunting is just as important as strength and striking first. He also teaches them to lighten up and lean on ea...
