3.08 A Very Supernatural Christmas
Madge makes wreaths out of meadowsweet, and the people who buy the wreaths are taken for sacrifices. When she and Edward Carrigan find Sam and Dean snooping around in their blood-splattered basement, they take the brothers prisoner and start their ritual preparation for sacrifice. This involves cutting them both to obtain blood. Edward pulls out one of Sam's fingernails and is about to pull one of Dean's teeth when they are distracted by the doorbell, and the brothers are able to escape their bonds. Dean stabs Edward with a branch from a Christmas tree while Sam stabs Madge with another branch, killing them.
Hold Nickar in Lore
- Dana Larsen's Modern Christmas traditions are based on ancient mushroom-using shamans.
- Axiom's Santa Claus Is Coming to Town from the December 2004 issue of The Pagan Heart: Myth, Magic, and Madness.
