new Dragon Age movie has been released! ‘The Pope’s Exorcist’ takes place after the Inquisition has disbanded. a powerful demon possessed a little boy. in the dark future of Thedas Russell Crowe can’t seem to figure out that they need to go into the fade and face the demon there. very sad. this is what happens if you get rid of mages. fortunately they find the lost knowledge in this book that the inquisitor left behind

Archon war anon

On Xiao being from Sumeru/Ashikai's video on the Yaksha - I actually came to the conclusion on the possible connection between Xiao and Sumeru on my own, before I saw anyone else talk about it because I've only really started looking for more theory stuff as opposed to just fic recently. It was pretty validating to see other people drawing the same conclusions! I actually originally drew a connection based on remembering the Aranara and their thing with dreams, and it was when I went back to check my sources that I remembered that all three of the Sumeru gods we know about had something to do with dreams. Even if Xiao is connected to Sumeru though, I don't think he's from Sumeru because Sumeru doesn't really seem to have the framework for the kind of beings that adepti are?

Also, as someone who's studies real life Indian religions, Sumeru really does have a lot of non-Indian influence, and even some of the parts where there are more explicit references to Indian stuff honestly feel kind of off?

yeah, even if there's interesting connections there, whenever i've considered the xiao-sumeru link it's always ended up in my mind as "maybe xiao's master originally came from sumeru" rather than "xiao is from sumeru", for mostly the same reason as you mentioned, yeah,,,

i'm not knowledgeable enough on india's culture or religion to really comment on the sumeru things, but even i can see that the desert is mostly egyptian, and i've seen people pointing out the different inspirations for some things, so like- it did always seem to me like sumeru was the hodgepodge of arabian/arabian adjacent stuff, fontaine and mondstadt were a bit more of a focused-still-kinda-hodgepodge of certain european countries, and then like. japan and china all on their own lmao

#i wonder if it'll feel equally 'off' as you put it when it natlan comes out #i wonder why that is #maybe it's the trynig to grab from so many different cultures at once that still like- share various cultural things? idk #mostly on the religion part i think. truthfully i don't know tbh #but yeah i wonder if natlan will feel the same for latam. bc it does seem like it'll be a mix of various things #at least if the art they posted was anything to go by. they had more than just aztec or mayan stuff there #also the leaks are saying the archon will be more spainard-adjacent? which- fucking hilarious if so #nobody expects the spanish inquisition #anyway #thank you <3 <3

Islam and Wicca

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition ... to have anything to do with this topic. And yet, it's everything. In fact, this is the very topic that inspired this entire project in the first place.

It all started when I happened to notice this symbol on the cover of a book I bought:

What on earth was an obviously historical, inverted pentagram doing on the cover of an Islamic book? Growing up in the west, I knew that most Christians associated Islam with Satan because they recognized one additional prophet (saw) and didn't worship Jesus (as) as God (swt). So ... why now this new connection between Satanism or Magic and Islam? Well, the short answer is because this symbol has nothing to do with Satan or Magic. Inverted, right side up, or sideways, the star represents the 5 pillars of Islam, as well as retaining a myriad of other meanings. What's more, early Christians used this symbol as well. Notice in the second reference how the Morning Star was a symbol of Jesus, only to later become a symbol of the Devil. So before we move on to my personal conjecture, let's first agree that symbolism and meaning is easily corruptible and nothing means anything. I would also assert that the Islamic understanding of magic and satanism is much, much different than the Christian view of the subject. In the west we see these two as being merely a rejection of Christianity and a celebration of personal love and personal power. Muslims reject Christianity too, but we don't worship the devil. We know that all power is with God (swt).

Now, let's talk about the Reconquista and the Spanish Inquisition... and kind of by association, the Crusades. Islam was bleeding into Europe by way of Turkiye in the east and the Iberian Peninsula in the west. There were no Missions or forced conversions. There were no supplies or food traded in exchange for adopting the religion of the conquering colonizers. In Iberia, there was a conquest for land, but the ruling Muslims allowed people to continue practicing their own religion. While there was no such expansion in Turkiye, in both places, it was simply that too many neighbors heard a logical explanation of God that made more sense than what they had been taught. Oh and the literacy rate, womens' rights, and access to health care that worked didn't hurt. The Church got nervous about losing power, as powerful institutions do. While the Crusades were a bit of a s*** show and lasted FOREVER, the Reconquista was fairly successful because it was operated in concert with nobles who wanted to recapture their lands and rights to rule. After the success of this process, many Muslims and Jews pretended to be outwardly Christian in order to remain on their own lands. What many do not know is that the Muslims of this time did everything they could to save the lives of their Jewish neighbors by helping them to escape from Iberia after the investigations began. While outwardly practicing Jews and Muslims were simply driven out, it was those who faked their conversions who were targeted during the inquisition. And because there were so many more Muslims than Jews in the region, the majority of those targeted ultimately ended up being Muslims.

Now let's compare this to the "common knowledge" understanding of the inquisition. They burned witches ... for being witches ... right? And what is a witch? A woman wearing a black robe who owns a cat and is preoccupied with cleanliness (hence the broom). She can make medicine and her repeatable "spells" in a foreign language actually work. She practices in a secret coven or group and is probably literate.

After I saw this image, something else jumped out at me - the wizard robe and the resemblance to the abaya. Not to mention the fact that Abracadabra and the famous Open Sesame have Aramaic and Arabic origins. And du'as/adhkars would certainly seem like spells recited in a magical language because, well, they work. Also the early Christian rejection of cleanliness being actively demonized by associating the broom with the image. Salat certainly is ritualized worship and worshiping as a group is considered better than worshiping alone.

So yeah. They weren't burning witches. They were burning Muslims. And they packaged that outward appearance and the behaviors of a Muslim and sold it to the rest of Europe as a witch. The worst part is that the Church knew exactly what they were doing and they used language barriers to their advantage. They did it to maintain power and control over the continent. Illiteracy in the general populace only aided their efforts.

Let's not forget, modern Wicca has no ties to any ancient religious practice. It's just a glorification of the medieval idea of a witch and the rejection of the church. It caused the murder of innocent women over the next few centuries for being smart, clean, inventive, strong, or any other characteristic that is not docile, submissive, and dumb. It's not real magic, but it is a gateway to magic. This makes it incredibly dangerous. And with that, the reminder that
