  • The killer dragged Hank through some sort of sand after murdering him.

Spell Instructions

• This was found in the hex bag Art found in the woods.
• The spell titles are written in the alchemy code.

• I had to google the alchemy symbols myself. I was so confused by the recaps saying that the final page gave the names of the symbols...

  • The day after I solved the episode, HAK sent an email including the remainder of the spell instructions, which includes the rest of the spells and a symbol key on the last page.

• Once deciphered, they are:

  • RELEASE
  • CLEANSE
  • SEVEN CANDLES
  • HONEY
  • FORTUNE
  • MISFORTUNE
  • CURSE
  • ENLIGHTENMENT
  • WEALTH
