Revision as of 23:32, 17 December 2012

Dates are tricky in Supernatural. Some dates are significant dates are made explicit in the script, but most are not. Sometimes dates that appear within an episode relate to the the date when an episode was shot rather than when the events are supposed to occur.

It is generally accepted by fans that the time covered in each season roughly corresponds to the airdates eg from September/October to May.

Dates here taken from killa's timeline, canon where available and some wild speculation. The episode an event relates to is included so readers can make their own decision.

See the timelines category for other alternative dates.

Distant Past

At some point in the distant past, God, Death and other deities come into existence.

God creates the Leviathans, but grows concerned that they will try to destroy His other creations. He creates the realm of Purgatory to contain them, and seals the Leviathans away.

God then creates celestial beings including Archangels, Angels and Cupids all of which will dwell in Heaven with Him creating an angelic society collectively known as The Host of Heaven.

God instructs the angels that they should bow down to humanity, but Lucifer refuses because he sees humanity as flawed and unworthy.

  • Lucifer entreats his brother Michael to support him but he refuses
    • God instructs Michael to cast Lucifer out of Heaven
    • Gabriel tires of the family arguments and leaves heaven, hiding on Earth disguised as a Trickster
    • In definace of God, Lucifer takes humans, strips them of their humanity and creates demons. The first of these is Lilith.
  • God then imprisoned Lucifer with Six-Hundred Seals, sixty six of which have to be broken for Lucifer to escape his confinement

Eve begins creating the Alphas of the Supernatural beings, and is eventually imprisoned in Purgatory
