DF Spoilers / Re: Meaning of the Name "Harry" in Hebrew. . .

And Dresden is a gender neutral German name meaning the People in the Forest by the River. Obviously Harry is descended from Bigfeet, and explains why we hear nothing about Eb’s wife.

Next you will be wondering why so many characters have names beginning with ‘M’. This way lies madness.

Dresden is also the name of a German city that was firebombed in World War II. Quite an appropriate surname for a wizard who specializes in fire magic.

"When a lie is believed, it compromises the freedom of your will." (Uriel, Ghost Story chapter 50)

Whose words would compromise the freedom of Harry's will if he believed them: Mab's, or Uriel's?

Maybe you could even say that Harry choose to believe in Uriel's words and as a result they became the truth.

Uriel can't mess with mortals' free will like that. As I said, he would be no better than Lasciel if he did.

What he said must have been True.

If Uriel's words were not true, then by his own admission he is no better than Lasciel.

"Mortals are free to lie if they choose to do so. If they could not, they would not be free. But others are held to a higher standard. Their lies are far deadlier, far more potent." (Uriel, "Ghost Story" chapter 50)

Mab probably wasn't Nemfected, but as of Ghost Story she was fairly close to somebody who was... Maybe Maeve told her that her Knight was hers to shape as she saw fit, and Maeve knew that was a lie.

I have already considered that it may have been an illogical leap to go from "The things Mab said were lies" to "Mab lied." I will no longer argue that point.

I like the idea that while the statements may have been lies, they weren't Mab's lies. But it makes me wonder who told Mab those lies...

Interesting. It seemed like a logical deduction to go from "Mab's statements were lies" to "Mab told lies" to "Mab lied."

But if Mab was just repeating what somebody or something else had told her, and whoever or whatever told her that was intentionally deceiving her...

That would mean that those statements were lies, but they weren't Mab's lies.

So why did Uriel say that she had? He was clearly referring to two or more statements, not situations. (There's only one situation that's really at stake.)

"(The statements that were just spoken are) lies. Mab cannot change who you are" makes a lot more sense to me than "(The situations here are) lies. Mab cannot change who you are."

"Intentionally false statement" seems pretty clear to me.

He didn't say she was lying.

Yes he did. He called her statements, and I quote, "Lies."

It seems to me like he could have gotten the point across just as easily by saying, for example, "Mab cannot change who you are, Dresden," so it has to be important in some way that he specifically called Mab a liar.

Maybe it's just that archangels have different criteria than mortals or fae or WOJ for what is or isn't a lie. That's the only explanation I can think of.

From a 2011 DC signing.

That doesn't explain why Uriel said she WAS lying, though.

In chapter 51 of "Ghost Story," when Mab told Demonreach that he couldn't gainsay her claim on Harry, and that Harry was hers to shape as she pleased, Uriel could and did call those statements "lies."

How could Mab, a faerie, lie?

Or if she was telling the truth (or even just what she believed to be true), how could Uriel call what she said lies?

Harry promised to get out of Winter and bring Molly with him. Just like he promised to save Susan.

And did he save Susan?

Thomas was able to feed by "sipping" on the sensual pleasure of women getting their hair done. Lara could probably do something similar, if Harry insists on it.

Not a wizard though.

Are we sure that the White Christ wasn't a wizard? What he did when he was crucified seems a lot like a Death Curse to me, and that's not counting the spells that he cast to heal the ill, purge demons, etc.

Is there a WOJ to the contrary?
