When I last left off profiling the words of wisdom spouted by our intrepid hero those many months ago (dodges flying tomatoes), Dean had just sort of sold his soul to a demon in order to bring Sam back from the dead. Talk about a perspective changer. Dean’s sharp tongued lines went from snarky in season one to…
Sam and Dean – Guilty As Hell? The Double-Edged Sword of Guilt of the Winchester Psyche ‘Guilt is the very nerve of sorrow’, Horace Bushnell once said. Everyone who ever felt guilty will easily second that quote, and it doesn’t matter really why the emotional condition we call guilt entered our system. We…
The idea for this compilation came to me while I was sick. I was given Paul Coelho’s book ‘Warrior Of The Light’. Now, I’m not exactly a fan of his writing, though I liked ‘The Alchemist’. When reading his ‘warrior manual’ I sometimes felt reminded of our favourite show and its leading characters. The…
In My Time of Dying Even as a disembodied spirit, Dean doesn’t lose his smart mouth. Sam and Dad are fighting. Nothing new there. However, when you’re a ghost watching this fight and can’t do much to stop it, all that’s left is to take a swipe at the nearest object around. As the cup goes flying to…

Dean’s ultimate season four test ends up being the test of faith. Not faith in God or angels, but faith in everything he believes to be right and what matters to him the most, family. No matter…
I’m proud to share another article from another new guest. Mae sent me a great piece called “Supernatural’s Family Dynamics.” She’s a psych student, so it comes with citations. This can also be found on her livejournal, http://maebandy.livejournal.com/. As usual with guest posters, if you feel like sharing, do not repost. Share the link to here…
Here’s a rare treat at The Winchester Family Business. We have a guest columnist! Faellie posted this on her livejournal site and was kind enough to share it with me. Then, she was even kinder to let me repost it here. Yes, its that good. The title will certainly catch you. A disclaimer that I…
