Cassie's Religion

There's been plenty of speculation about Bree's religion, but what about Cassie? I think people are starting to assume that she was also a Thelemite or involved in some other cultlike religion that resulted in her death/sacrafice, but what about all the Christian/Biblical symbols (i.e. Moses, HOLY BIBLE, The Numbers page, other Biblical verses, etc.)?

Any thoughts?

that's an intresting question... I really never thought about it....

With all the bible references, one would think she could be christian, which I suppose would be a somewhat opposite of thelemite...

But, she could be using the bible clues in a sort of mocking way...

Thelemites used the bible extensively. Even Bree's dad reads from it.

Yeah, there's nothing exceptionally unusual about Thelemites using the Bible.

There is plenty of gore in it to help this storyline along, too.

Shedding of blood and all that.

I've also thought about that, though. I can't tell if Cassie might be the victim of people following the "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" passage, whether she is applying this passage to Bree, or if it's just something about witches dying, no Christians involved.

Ohhh... I didn't realize that Thelemites used the Bible. Anyway, I guess there are still other possibilites as far as her religion goes, perhaps.

Thelema was like other new religious movements of the time such as Theosophy, it freely incorporated elements of whatever it's practitioners felt like. So speculators need to keep in mind that religious movements such as Thelema and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn need not need be put in such rigid distinctions from each other/other religions. For example, if, tomorrow, Bree put up a video in which she reads a Muslim prayer, that wouldn't suddenly make her NOT a Thelemite and now a Muslim instead.

Since the very beginning Cassie has ignored every message I've ever sent. Even when I was just a newb. She read them, but never responded. I've asked some of the exact same questions as other users. My YouTube image is a cross, and my profile used to be just a personal message, "Grace is given only by God. Do you live under grace?"

I think Cassie has an aversion to Jesus or Christianity.

Wait...I must have missed where she said that. Do you remember which video it's in?

Yeah, "bibliomancy" ≠ Bible

"Biblio" actually literally means "book." They can use any book, I don't think she ever specifically said he used the Bible though did she?

Not trying to be combative or anything, I just don't want us to assume things we don't actually know.

Yes..exactly right..but to add to this..it has to be a book that the person doing the bibliomancy believes to hold truth...

That's right, I forgot that part! But it doesn't have to be the Bible right?
