Cassie would have been freaked out by Bree's religion. But what happened to Cassie? Did she stop calling because she was freaked out? Or did someone stop her from calling?
Also, "Lucy" means "light" and has the same root as "Lucifer." Bree feels enlightened by her.
He's right, at least partially...there is no reason to believe that Cassie was ever a participant in the ritual...I've said this many times, and so have others. If only for the singular reason that we know the ritual hasn't taken place in living memory. That's why it's so demanding on Bree. It's never made sense that Cassie would have lost her life to anything regarding Thelema...Daniel with his apparently warped sense of reality is another matter.
I've never thought that the Cassie we know and follow was ever a condoned branch of the LG15 storyline. It's excecution has been far to spur of the moment to be otherwise. Although I've always espoused that the authors of Cassie had some sort of association with the LG15 crew.
Does that mean it's bunk...not really. We here, have enjoyed it because it's a track that the "creators" should have taken from the beginning, and did imply. It has involved the community in a greater way than the "creators" have tried to implement so far. With that in mind Cassie should take this entire mystery away from the LG15 universe and move into it's own territory. It should have branched off by now and left that storyline behind. It has the potential.
It might still become relevant to LG15 canon...but only time will tell.
Just FYI Kelrast...Occult means "hidden teachings or knowledge" which every religion...especially Christianity is full of...occult does not and has never signified any religion or any specific teachings. Occult deals with what you're not supposed to know according to dogma. It's esoteric, and should be taken as such.
ps: I can't but use sarcasm when speaking of the "creators"...They invite derision by using that term....I'm just say'n...
"Death, in the strict sense, cannot be defined, for whatever predicate we, the living, attribute to it necessarily belongs to Life. This means that Death, as a category, behaves in a manner indistinguishable from the Infinite, and from God."
