In the second half of this hefty chapter, we join Serafina, Ruta and their crack squad of SWAT witches as they fly through the new world. They encounter all sorts of…well, otherworldly things, and also see Spectres for the first time and learn the horrible details of all they can do…

Join us as we revisit Bird Corner, cast Antonio Banderas and get lost in the confusing and colourful mythology of angels!

If you’re interested to know more about Hypoboreans, you can start here and we also definitely recommend the book The Idea of North by Peter Davidson if you’re interested in learning more about what historically was associated with the cultural idea of ‘The North’ in different times and societies.

Maybe the Mandola instrument mentioned is similar to this? Who knows…

See a picture of a snazzy little Bluethroat here!

If you want to a picture of the swaggiest, most L’Oreal advert angel EVER, then feast your eyes on this.

Here are some other interesting depictions of angels: with no physical bodies, in high status clothing of the time, or just super colourful and showing off their supernatural prowess.
