Episode notes
Anointing Oil Symbolism
- The anointing oil's main ingredient, myrrh, symbolizes bitterness and suffering, linking it to Christ's sacrifice.
- The olive oil base, produced by crushing olives, reinforces the symbolism of suffering and yielding a precious gift.
Anointing Oil as Dew
- The anointing oil is compared to dew, symbolizing gradual spiritual rebirth and the acquisition of divine nature.
- This "dew" imagery suggests a process of transformation through consistent, incremental spiritual growth.
Scepter to Wand
- The king's scepter, representing God's power bestowed upon the king, has deteriorated into the wizard's wand.
- This symbolizes a shift from divine authority to personal power, a corruption of the original meaning.
