At least one of rocky's predictions came true... this 3 page topic is off-topic! I don't remember a John Dee being mentioned in Hex. Was it in season 2? Must rewatch it.

The Archangel Raphael makes mention to Ella's father when he had her in his cab, but did not mention him by name. She mentions her father having gone to the land of the dead and returning by harnessing a lightnig bolt which gave Leon the idea on how to bring her back when they sneaked back into the hospital, but she did not say his name.

John Dee was an alchemist and talked to angels through crystals. They told him to do some wife swaping. He saw visions of the end of days, but it never happened and he was angry about it. It is interesting that many of the things Ella does resembles medievil alchemy. As for St. John's Wort, there was an old Celtic tradition that it wards off witches and powers of darkness. I don't think its effects in Hex are from its medical value, but from Celtic traditions. Ella did have an attitude toward families and personal relationships. I have heard that Ella was not treated with respect as she was illigetimate and this was one thing that made her vengeful. Then there is the story of the fairies Arianna and Orachia, but that is another story. Hex seems to have a lot of mixture of alchemy and Celtic folklore in it. That is a brief summary of the previous posts. I personally find it very interesting. Thats one of my favorite things about hex, how it uses history and occult/alchemy references. I love it when theres a whole a other level to shows...it really makes you think about them.

Oh no, I don't have to think do I? hehe
has BBC America shown 'Gavin and Stacey' or 'Pulling' ? Don't have to think too much with these, but they are very funny.
Good to see The Doc is back!

Good luck with the exams. Fine here, thanks, but I don't have any exams to do!
ROCKY; I bet Alli doesn't know that you are Welsh. She thinks Wales is in Ireland anyway so I wouldn't worry too much. LOL
