YES. FINALLY. CONFIRMATION.

Being a hexenbiest fundamentally alters the mind and emotions of the person. Adalind is literally TERRIFIED of having those powers back

If this is true – can the writers try not to have the other characters constantly bash Juliette every episode? It makes it so hard to swallow as realistic given Juliette went bad over 2 episodes and then the writers made it so she can’t ever be redeemed. It feels imbalanced in the writing of Juliette vs Adalind. I know a lot of folks hated Juliette but she was fundamentally a good person at heart. So if Adalind gets the “she was only bad because HB”, then it’d be nice if the show acknowledged that with Juliette. But I guess they cannot do that because Adalind is the reason why this happened to Juliette and they are trying to make Adalind the good one now.

I hate Saint/sinner writing. 😦

Yes, this. This is all I want. If they’re going to redeem Adalind based on the notion that she wasn’t herself or wasn’t in control when she did all the terrible things she’s done, they need to stop throwing Juliette under the bus, too.

On the thoughts of the magical stick being part of the True Cross, think. It was buried by the Crusaders, a Christian fighting force. It had a Templar moniker and everything. Plus, I remember a saint supposedly found a part around that time?

I mean it’s possible. But I don’t want to completely discount it possibly being something of Muslim origin, considering the Fourth Crusade did involve Muslims as well as Christians.

And tbh I wouldn’t put it above a bunch of Christian knights to steal some very valuable and/or powerful Muslim artifact, slap a bunch of Christian words and symbols on it, and tuck it away in some dark corner of Europe.

Good lord they’re dumb.. A piece of wood found in an old church… Come on people, its a spear from the Cross. Man how hard is that to figure out?!

I mean…to be fair a lot of people not raised in Christian households or communities wouldn’t be as familiar with Christian legends or the significance of certain objects, so their minds might not jump right to that.

But yeah…I was thinking piece of the True Cross as well.

Then again…it’s easy to assume it would be a Christian artifact because of all the talk of churches, but it might not be.

I’m trying to do some research, but does anyone more familiar with Islam know if there are significant wooden objects that might have healing powers connected to Islam?
