Angelic Groan Of A Martyr

The theory of Lesley and Maud (part two.) Horsemen of the Apocalypse (does the series speak metaphorically about modern problems?) Who owns the Crown, Scales and Sword?

It is necessary to read the first part.

Modern problems of the Tigris River: (as well as other great rivers)

1.The Tigris River plays a crucial role in agriculture and providing people with food. But in recent decades, the river has been drying up. This leads to a lot of troubles, including famine of the poor people. The horseman of the apocalypse Famine gets a tool - Scales. In his hands, the Scales are desecrated and become a symbol of unfair measure and restrictions.

2.There are a number of problems between countries that actively use the river. These problems require wise solutions and peace agreements. But unfortunately, the countries continue to exchange mutual accusations about the irrational use of the river. This does not solve the pressing problems, but only exacerbates the conflict. (In S1E2 shows a scene in Africa where War came - this is a real conflict problem concerning the Nile River and the inhabitants of Egypt and Ethiopia.) The Horseman of the Apocalypse War receives a Sword, in her hands the sword symbolizes the weapon of war.

3.Due to the drainage of rivers, there is a shortage of clean fresh water. In addition to drying out, there is the problem of direct pollution from coastal factories, oil refineries and landfills. Citizens have to use polluted water. Thousands of people suffer from poisoning every year. (Lesley visited Africa Nile River), and Des Moines in America (Mississippi River.) The horseman of the apocalypse Pollution gets the Crown. The desecrated crown is a symbol of unholy domination and control.

I write entertainment content, but these problems are real and their scale cannot be overestimated! Great rivers are dying from pollution, drying up and wasteful use!

4.So, after the three horsemen of the apocalypse have been defeated by the three virtues (three children), the divine weapons return to the deliveryman. He will return the items to the owner, but who is the owner and who gave the packages to Lesley? We know that the sword was lost and several persons including God and angels, asked Aziraphale about this sword. So the sword wasn't in heaven.

5.Okay, here's the classic Justice Tarot card:

You can see she has Scales a Sword and a Crown. Scales in its true meaning symbolizes balance and justice. The Sword is a symbol of mind and law, it is able to separate truth from lies. The Сrown is a symbol of recognized divine authority. Is God in GO "Justice"? Or is it another character?

6.I assume Lesley will give these tools to his wife. If his wife really is the prototype of the goddess of justice. A bit of history - Initially, only Scales was associated with the goddess Maat, the goddess of justice. (She was putting a feather on the scales to weigh a human heart at the posthumous trial.) As the centuries passed, she became an independent figure and received a Sword and a blindfold (a symbol of impartiality.) In medieval Europe, she received the throne, and the blindfold was replaced by a Crown.

Here's my theory. Lesley is the spirit or prototype of the Great Divine River (Tiger, Nile, Lethe or all of them) Maud is the prototype of Matelda, the priestesses who keeps knowledge and fulfills holy vows. She is probably a goddess who acting the duties of a fair judge. Lesley and Maud are neutral characters, they don't belong to heaven or hell. I really hope they will appear in the third season. And I also hope to see a court scene in the third season. (it was a long way..)

It is dangerous to ask such a question to a person (or a snake) who looks at you like That. Crowley looks like he's thinking of swallowing Aziraphale whole. And then drink an extraordinary amount of alcohol.

What grows in your (British) garden? Angels, Shakespeare, Spathiphyllum and Conceptualization.

I took some screenshots from the "Blood and Ice Cream" trilogy, they are not in chronological order:

I hope you will watch these films: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End. They're definitely worth it. When you watch, keep GO in mind, maybe it will be more interesting this way.

P.s. Not all the matches that I found are shown in the screenshots. There's also a silly Shakespeare play that the characters are watching. A mime depicting a golden statue Dude in black, pretend to be Death A car that goes into a firestorm some small things (like posters or a goat)

Addition! To the trilogy of Blood and ice cream, it is necessary to add the film Burke and Hare (2010). In this movie, two guys steal dead bodies from a cemetery in Edinburgh (at first) and sell it to a doctor who studies anatomy and tries to save lives. The first body is carried in a barrel for pickled herring)) Simon Pegg plays in all these films (he was also a guest actor in the series "Staged")

- I just need to find a receptive body. (Like all of us, Aziraphale, like all of us).

- Harder than you'd think. (I bet, Crowley thinks it's impossible).

- I'm not going to go there. (Aziraphale is so naive, and Crowley is such a gentleman ><).

What happened in the 1920s?

There are only 2 small mentions of the 20s in the series:

00:29:19 S1E1

[Aziraphale]

"I have several very nice bottles of Chateauneuf-du-Pape in the back. I picked up a dozen cases in 1921, and there's still some left for special occasions."

00:38:04 S2E1

"You see, the record shop was opened by my great grandmother in the 1920s. Originally, our shop was in a corner of Mr. Fell’s bookshop."

I didn't find anything else. But it seems to me this time and the event that happened then are important.

In 1920s, great-grandmother Maggie's record store appeared at the Aziraphale bookshop. In 1921, Aziraphale somehow gets several bottles of French wine (it is stored in the back room, that's the name of Maggie's store). Who was Maggie's great-grandmother?

This wine is for special occasions. Aziraphale and Crowley drink it in 1941 in a romantic candlelit setting. The second time they drink it is in S1E1, when they decide to act together. (Even in the final episode of S1, they drink regular champagne at the Ritz.)

Everything French in the film is connected with love. And Aziraphale has certain difficulties with this. He talks easily about divine love for people and the like. But when it comes to romantic love, it confuses him. (and he couldn't learn French.)

In general, I would be interested to find out more about the events of the 1920s and I hope to see this flashback in S3.

Red-blue reflections.

There are a lot of red and blue colors in the film. Often these two colors mark opposites and/or couples in one way or another. Crowley and Aziraphale, Sergeant Shadwell and Madame Tracy, Adam and Pepper, Maggie and Nina's shops, and so on. A cup of coffee and an apple of Eden. My interpretation of these colors. I assume that the color symbolism is taken from the Christian religion of the Renaissance.

In this case, the Red color means everything earthly, sensual, full of life, sexual, chaotic. Sometimes it's something aggressive (Anathema saw the red aura of an angry villager). But aggression can also be righteous bravery like Pepper, who stood up to the War. The color red does not appear symbolically in Hell and does not directly mean evil. The Blue color means everything unearthly, reasonable, calm. This is order, discipline, loyalty and stability. The blue color also does not symbolize Heaven and does not directly mean good.

I would add here the fact about two Christian saints - St. George and St. Andrew. Saint Andrew is the patron saint of the Scottish flag. The flag of Scotland has a white oblique cross on a blue background. And St. George the Victorious (the man who defeated the snake /dragon) patronizes the flag of England (this flag has a red cross on a white background. Saint George and Saint Andrew are also opposites of each other - one is a warrior (red), the other is a martyr (blue), respectively. I think it would be interesting to see these characters in the second coming?

One more color thought. Here is a screenshot. (S1E3 [54:24])

This is an image of a monitor in an office at a nuclear reactor. At the moment, there is no fuel in the nuclear reactor, there is a yellow candy that Adam placed there. The monitor shows that this yellow candy gives energy by splitting into blue and red colors. Yellow (gold) color in Christianity is a Divine color, the color of divine energy and grace. People who see it say "it's impossible". They witnessed a miracle. I associate this episode with another one.

(all subtitles are original) In this scene our angel and demon exchanged bodies and Death itself says that it is "ineffable". Death stated that it was a miracle.

I will also mention White color in my color reflections. He appears in the series four times (something I noticed.) White in this theory means purity, innocence and/or sacrifice.

1.The third baby in the S1E1. He was wrapped in a white blanket. He was a victim of circumstances. I haven't read the book, but fish were mentioned in the movie in the context of the baby. These few little facts lead me to think that this child may appear in the third season. And he will play a direct role in the second coming, as the new incarnate Christ (the fish is a symbol of Christ and also the white color his symbol too.)

2. In the theater with a red interior (1941), Aziraphale takes out a white handkerchief and theatrically waves it. I think it reflects the purity of his intentions to help his demon. And also the fact that he is the only one in this "vicious" place (where illegal alcohol is sold and people stare at half-naked girls) is a pure immaculate soul.

3. Gabriel wears a white fur coat when he goes out to the demons in the second season. He obviously intended to sacrifice himself for the sake of saving people.

4. Muriel - everything is obvious here. She's a blank slate. I really hope she doesn't fall victim to any dramatic circumstances in S3. I love Muriel).

There is also a Violet color. I have already talked about him a lot in my other posts, for example in the post about Gabriel's eyes or about the joint miracle of Azikro. I'll just mention a funny little fact here. When Aziraphale gets inside Madame Tracy, her sleeves turn violet (because she herself is marked in red, and the angel is blue, respectively.)

Violet color appears once more at the end of S2E6. When we see that Shax and Furfur are up to something together, they unite. And we see them disappearing into a violet haze. I think we need to find out exactly what this couple is up to in S3.

I assume that the violet color here means unification, union, expansion, reaching a new level.

The theory of the name Anthony J. Crowley (addition)

https://www.tumblr.com/dream-in-fall/756703713357414400/the-theory-of-the-name-anthony-j-crowley?source=share

I want to add to my theory. I thought about it and finally became convinced that the name Anthony J. Crowley means Antony Juliet. Crowley took the names of two Shakespearean characters who tragically died of forbidden love. Antony and Juliet both died from the sword \dagger. Their loved ones (Cleopatra and Romeo), respectively, died of poison. In the finale, Crowley was supposed to die from poison (holy water), and Aziraphale from a pillar of fire (a symbolic fiery sword). Now there is one less reason for a sleepless night.

"i can't DISOBEY not do what i'm told". At first, these angels say such things, and then they are surprised there is more fan content than there are stars in the sky!

Ohh, these divinely swaying skinny hips! ^ ^

On the signs above the heroes it says "Honey sweets" and "Sky suits" (yes, there's an extra letter e, but who cares). Angels call the human body they are in on Earth a suit.
