Castiel

 Evening Hunters,


Tonight we will discuss one of the best characters to ever grace the Supernatural screen: Castiel.

Castiel is one of the three main characters of the Supernatural series, although we don't meet him until season 4. In season 3, Dean makes a deal with a demon to save Sam, and he only gets a year to live; after the year ends, a hellhound drags him to hell. Suddenly at the beginning of season 4, Dean wakes up in a pine coffin and doesn't have a scratch on him. We find out later that Castiel, an angel of the lord, was sent by God to retrieve Dean from hell. Angels are portrayed kind of how you imagine from the bible in this show, God's soldiers. In the show, angels inhabit human hosts when on earth, and they have to have the human's permission before they can inhabit their form. He brings Dean back to life to help prevent the 66 seals from being broken, which would release Lucifer from his cage in hell which would cause the apocalypse to ensue.

Castiel is a special character because he arguably has the largest character growth throughout the entire series. He goes from an obedient soldier to a rebel, and outcast, and then takes his place beside Sam and Dean as a hunter. Through his affiliation with them, he gets a sense of family, loyalty, and trust from a human perspective. Family may not be the easiest thing to deal with all the time, but at the end of the day, they will fight and die for you.

Aside from Castiel, angels are portrayed as emotionless beings with a bigger purpose as their guide rather than a heart.

If you had the choice to not feel any emotion for the rest of your life or to feel every emotion at its most intense, what would you choose? Is it a choice? Or do you believe a balance can be struck between the two states of being?

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...

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 mome...

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...
