Just a query as to whether anyone else sees Serwe or Esmenet as representing Mary Magdalen. (For those of you who don't know, there's a theory that a prostitute of Jerusalem, a.k.a. Mary Magdalen, might have been married to Jesus.) I think there's a connection; Sumna & the Thousand Temples is comparable to Jerusalem; Esmenet is a prostitute, Serwe is a concubine. Also, couldn't Xerius or Conphas stand for Pontius Pilate? And Cnaiur could stand for Judas Iscariot....or so it seems to me. Does anyone else have any theories on the Kellhus/Esmenet/Serwe triangle? view post
