The Magnus Archives

Season One Notes and Speculation

Main Cast

Spoilers for Season One Below the Break!!!

Martin Blackwood- Helper for Jonathan whom he doesn’t like. Speaks Polish and Jonathan has disdain for his Latin. Claustrophobic. “Blessed relief if you ask me.” Jon about Martin being out with a stomach sickness. Martin comes back in MAG 21, Freefall with squishy squelchy stuff that Jon reacts to with “God- Martin!! What the hell is- what are these things?!” Ran into Jane Prentiss in MAG 22, Colony in which he stays holed up in his house for 13 days as Jane and her parasites kept trying to get in. He is invited to stay in the room Jon sleeps in during late nights post his incident. He feels stuck in the web of the archive. Jon thought he was a ghost in Infestation (MAG 39). He writes poetry and thinks tapes have a sort of lofi charm. It’s why he has the extra recorder. He feels incredibly guilty over leaving Tim and Jonathan in the tunnels, starting to tear up over it after apologizing in Human Remains (MAG 40).

Elias Buchard- The head of the Magnus Institute, doesn’t want Jonathan and crew looking into the Lukas family because they fund the institute. He hates Jonathan more than Martin and thought the parasites were an over reaction in Infestation (MAG 39).

Sasha James - Helper for Jonathan whom he doesn’t mind. Sets off the fire alarm to try and survive the worms. She joined as a practical researcher. Wishes she could’ve quit ages ago. She finds the table with the crazy geometric patterns and then the tape recorder glitches. Infestation (MAG 29). A feminine voice says into it afterwards “I see you.” The scream heard on tape is Jane Prentiss dying as seen in Human Remains (MAG 40).

Jonathan Sims- Head of the Magnus Archives, rather detached. This being said in Colony (MAG 22) he is shown to have started turning over a new leaf as he offers Martin his room in the archives. In Skintight (MAG 28) he shows an improvement in people skills as he treats the statement giver with a bit more respect than Naomi. He is adamant about not becoming another mystery, to make sure his successor knows exactly what happened. Infestation (MAG 39). Feels like he’s being watched when he records real statements. He also used to smoke according to Elias.

Tim Stoker - Helper for Jonathan whom he slowly seems to grow a distaste for, remaking he’s thankful for him being out of the office. He’s into Robert Smirke’s architecture as of A Distortion (MAG 26). Found tunnels in the archives and went crazy with gas to kill the worms in Infestation (MAG 39).

Other Characters

Sebastian Adekoya- Friend of Jared Hopsworth who delivers MAG 17, Bone Turner’s Tale. Died 2006, crushed on the road.

Angela- Witch from MAG 14 Piecemeal who slowly devoured the parts of Lee Rentoul and Paul Noriega through cardboard boxes with severed articles of various body parts

Asag- Fire mythos thing from First Aid

Sarah Baldwin- Victim of the Angler Fish (MAG 1) who later reappears in Skintight (MAG 28) being super quiet and also talking with a shadowy figure. She seems to remove her skin and then pull it tight and staple it quite regularly.

Breekon and Hope- The delivery boys from the end of one of the mags that give Jon a spider web lighter. Anatomy Class (MAG 34).

Antonio Blake- The Dreamer from MAG 11 Dreamer who saw a strange version of London and Gertrude dying in TMA FAKE NAME, KEEP EYES OUT

Edwin Burrowes- Catholic priest from Burnt Out. In Confession (MAG 19) he says a prayer in the house and feels heat. Then he starts to pray for himself and a demonic presence says through him “I am not for you. I am marked.” He proceeds to eat a human at the ushering of some unknown figure in Desecrated Host (MAG 20)

Michael Crew- Returned The Bone Turner’s Tale to Chiswick Library in MAG 17, The Bone Turner’s Tale

Harriet Fairchild- Went skydiving with Simon in MAG 21, Freefall. Said Robert was gone for 15 mins.

Simon Fairchild- First shows up in MAG 21, Freefall and tells Robert to “Enjoy sky blue” before sending him to a weird groundless realm. Robert Kelly is then later ate by the sky.

Raymond Fielding- Housed many people on Hilltop Road and was missing his right hand when he died

Trevor Herbert- Killed vampires for a living and died of lung cancer in the lobby in Vampire Killer (MAG 10). Dead as restated in Taken ill (MAG 36)

Naomi Herne- First ever person to make a statement with Jonathan and survived the Lukas’ in her ep, MAG 13 Alone

Timothy Hodge - Man who slept with Harriet Lee and heard her explode. DEAD AS OF A Distortion (MAG 26) for got turned into hive meat.

Jared Hopsworth- Friend of Sebastian Adekoya who assaults him consistently, first mentioned in MAG 17 The Bone Turner’s Tale. He, for instance, turns over an entire cart of returned books. He takes the book and runs out. He comes back later in the episode with more bones. And apparently more limbs

Mary Keay- Gerry Keay’s mother

Gerard (Gerry) Keay- Burns the Lightner books (seen in Page Turner) and was found covered in eyes and burn marks in MAG 12 First Aid. He puts a stop to the invisible flame.

Moira Kelly- Sees her son Robert Kelly get ate by the sky in MAG 21, Freefall

Robert Kelly- Simon Fairchild tells him to enjoy sky blue and then he gets ate by the sky in MAG 21, Freefall

Melanie King- Ghost hunter who sees Sarah Baldwin do her skin tricks in Skintight (MAG 28).

Jergner Leitner- Book maker and has a library, seen in Page Turner. Reseen in MAG 17 The Bone Turner’s Tale. Actually seen as a man in Old Passages (MAG 35) in which he asks people to dig underground.

Evan Lukas- Fell in love with Naomi Herne and then died.

Nathaniel Lukas- Owns the boating company for the Tundra as of Boatswain’s Call (MAG 33).

Peter Lukas- Captain of the Tundra as seen in Boatswain’s Call (MAG 33).

Agnes Montague- Witch lady with the hand tied around her with a chain, died the same day as the tree getting pulled down and apple melted

Julia Montork- Daughter of Robert Montork and witness of MAG 9- A Father’s Love

Jane Prentiss- Red dress lady from Squirm. She seems to be a hive for parasites and is no longer the actual Jane Prentiss as of Colony (MAG 22). She uses Martin’s phone in that episode to pose as him while trying to Squirm him. She says at the end through his phone, “Keep him. We have had our fun. He will want to see it when the archivists crimson fate arrives.” A statement by her exists somewhere in the archives. Hive (MAG 32) has her explaining how she felt itchy all the time and all the holes throughout her. “You can see it, and log it, and still never understand it.” Presumably she becomes what she is today after sticking her arm into the nest and screaming out in pain. She dies due to Elias making the CO2 go off in Human Remains (MAG 40).

Joseph Rainer - The man who survived the shell blast with Wilfrid in The Piper (MAG 7).

Maxwell Rainer- First appearance is MAG 9 in which he is described as the “defrocked pentecostal leader” who became a cult figure for The People’s Church of the Divine Host

Gertrude Robinson - Former Archivist, died, presumably in The Archives. Oh boy! So, in Burnt Offering (MAG 37) it is revealed her hair and image was used in some twisted altar thingy and a dude who smashes a bottle there has all his things go up in flames.

Lesere Saraki- Nurse from MAG 12 First Aid who feels watched after the incident in the hospital

Mikaele Selesa- First appears in Piecemeal (MAG 14) where he tries to sell something to Norigea. Reappears in Lost and Found (MAG 38) as he sells Andre Ramao a vase.

Michael Shelly- “How would a melody describe itself when asked?” He needs help, likes giggling at Sasha. Says that the hive (Jane Prentiss) is rash. Knew Jon, Tim, and Martin’s names. Shows how to kill the worms in A Distortion (MAG 26).

Robert Smirke- An architect. He worked for Jergner Leitner to build an underground club as seen in Old Passages (MAG 35).

Nathaniel Thorp- Immortal being from Cheating Death (MAG 29)

Places, Concepts, and Organizations

Breekon and Hope Deliveries- Company that takes away the coffin from MAG 2 Do Not Open. Also the same company that gives the church the pale yellow stool in MAG 20, Desecrated Host.

Formula of Sacred Geometry- The intricate patterns we’ve been seeing that Jonathan says there are different schools

Hill Top Road- The place where Burnt Out takes place, had the apple underneath the bleeding tree in the intricate pattern box

The Magnus Institute- Founded 1818, has a series of tunnels under its building and seems to slow the horrors when inside its building.

Open Skydiving- An organization that seems to have never existed. Fairchild’s are connected to it

The People’s Church of the Divine Host- A small cult that grew around the defrocked pentecostal minister, Maxwell Rainer, in London during the late 80’s and mid 90’s

St. Thomas Hospital- Had the fire incident from First Aid and the nurse still feels watched there

Speculation

My inclinations about the horrors having certain types seems to be spot on. You have the Leitner Tomes, Sacred Geometry, Prentiss Parasites, Breekon and Hope distinctless entities, the Hands, Strange Music- even if I’m not spot on you can definitely group some of the ongoings together.

As for characters, Jonathan is slowly becoming a better person as he unlocks the skill empathy by being subjected to horrors himself. I believe the Lukas family will play a big part in the upcoming season as Elias seems to becoming more of a big player and with Elias comes more talk of funding and whatnot. Something I’d like to point out is that the institute is most likely not a good organization as all of the tendrils led to the archives and even Michael seems to hint that the Hive of parasites are right in wanting to destroy it.

Speaking of, Michael himself is then drawn into incredibly questionable territory. He used the attack to rid the archives of his recorded files and taught them how to fight Prentiss. He wants the institute around which just confirms to me that it has to be a rotten group.

As for where the plot goes from here I’m not entirely sure beyond more Lukas and Micheal involvement. We now have the added worries of Sasha and her experience with the Not Sasha voice we heard as well as questions as to who killed Gertrude Robinson as WELL as why she was being used in the horrors rituals.

Now for just my fun thoughts- I adore Martin. I think he’s my favorite character. He has so much thought and empathy put into all he does. Like the dude was running scenario after scenario in his mind to make sure everything would be okay when Jane attacked- and it sort of was because they fended her off and saved Tim. Alexander J Newall also kills his voice acting- I love how timid sounding he is and the delivery of his lines to Jon about being sorry for leaving him behind- AAAGGH it literally tore my heart into bits.

Anyways that’s enough rambling. Stay tuned for my season 2 notes and ideas!

The Magnus Archives

-S5 Notes-

<- previous notes

Handwriting translated below:

#161 old memories, tape that Gertrude should have gave them, Jon says “I love you”, they don’t need to eat to live

#162 Gertrude and Gerry bonding, Tim and Sasha talking about a very relevant subject and Jon and Martin are leaving the safe house.

#163 [VIETNAM FLASHBACKS] [BAGPIPES INTENSIFY]

#164 Gross statement about an infection in a town and Helen talking to Jon and Martin like a proud aunt is beautiful. “I knew you crazy kids would make it work!”

#165 “Ceaseless Watcher, turn your gaze upon this wretched thing.” The Stranger statement. Not!Sasha messed up!!

#166 Martin suddenly is on a murder episode and a dude turned into a worm. Helen says “Slay!”

#167 “Yes, Martin, you are my reason.” Sweet bonding and why Gertrude didn’t have anymore assists.

#168 “I’m not going to kill a man just because you’re jealous!” “Why not?” Oh, Martin. Oliver Banks shall live another day and we are crossing The End domain

#169 Let’s willingly run into a burning building, disregarding your boyfriend and getting revenge together! Jude is now dead and Martin was just struggling in the background. He chose revenge over his boyfriend. Interesting. “We’re burning!”

#170 “I’m Martin Blackwood, and I am not lonely anymore!” “Oh… Hello!”

#171 No way I just spent 23 minutes listening to Jon talk about skin flowers in a botanical garden. “That your boyfriend?” “It is, actually.” “Oh.”

#172 Creepy theatre show that made me genuinely uncomfortable with The Web

#173 Where do you think all of the children went? That’s right! The Dark with Callum! Yay!

#174 Simon calling Jon killing him “rude” is hilarious and immediately dipping is iconic. Weird Vast domain with big explosions. Helen loves some good gossip.

#175 The Extinction items, hate for umbrellas, and Martin’s squelchy couch. We’re going to The Hunt next. Oh no.

#176 Adoptive uncle Trevor and Julia are dead. AWESOME HUNT STATEMENT! And we got Basira! :D

#177 ‘Dr. David’ Jon is so hot. This episode has so many trigger warnings. Helen is so silly. Basira is rad, staying with her boys. Won’t let them have a moment tho

#178 More Flesh. Gross processing line and Jon admits that the thing that traumatized him the most was Daisy going to kill him in the woods. Poor babies.

#179 Daisy is shot and killed. Basira is on her own and I have a reason to give Jon a cane.

#180 I have never felt more serene in my life. I can’t even describe it. I was smiling, giggling, and everything feels okay. Salesa and Annabelle are here and I love Salesa’s voice and HE CAN PLAY THE PIANO! Teaholding fluff, om nom nom, this episode is one of my favorites. The I-Spy game <3

#181 They decide to stay at Upton House for a bit longer before leaving. Jon feels his powers again and forgets the whole experience of ignorance. Pity. Seemed like a nice place. I like Salesa.

#182 Anatomy Class student hospital and Breekon asks Jon to kill him. I feel bad for him. :(

#183 “I’m sure I love you.” “I love you too.” THEY SAID IT!! Helen was concerned for them. She’s like a wine aunt who acts motherly to them. Also, Martin’s domain…

#184 Jon made Jordan an entity. That’s a lotta ants! Jon is just… so complicated.

#185 Ouch. Police brutality and wrongful imprisonment are rough subjects. That guy pleading out to Martin HURT. Martin is… somewhere at the end. Alone again, oh, Jonny, I feel horrible.

#186 Martin went from being a joke in Jon’s anger to being one of the most well-developed characters. He is either going to kill himself of Jon. Martin legit talks to himself. Statement made me cry. This better end with them being happy together.

#187 HELEN! D: Aw, man… I liked her. That poor woman. Calm down, Jon! Helen was their friend till the end. Dang it, that was a nail-biter.

#188 We’re in London now! Eyes, man. They’re everywhere. We grieve for Helen a bit. Did I mention EYES?

#189 MEL AND GEORGIE! OMG! They… made a cult and can hide from The Eye. Great.

#190 Fresh take on modern dating! Antichrist plus one! Archivist mocks poems, beloved pet turned monster, and a blind prophet

#191 Jon sleeps with his eyes open. Georgie wants to avenge her cat (I think I’ve seen this film before), mystery can, and Jon and Martin discuss death. Sobbing atm.

#192 Rosie is literally just going with the flow. It’s weird to see someone else’s perspective on things. Jonah’s incantation is awesome and gosh, I love Martin

#193 Elias 'high as a kite' Bouchard’s origins. Jonah’s distorted voice is hot.

#194 THEY HAD AN ARGUMENT D: After a gruesome metamorphosis statement, Jon tried to find Martin to apologize only to find he was taken to HILL TOP FREAKIN ROAD

#195 Just Basira and Jon, catching up and trudging through water. Omg. The Mr. Spider tape.

#196 Earth shattering rip-in-space time crap. Annabelle is wicked cool. Martin keeps getting sucked into things AND THE TAPES!! ASDFEKGLZMV

#197 MARTIN! ANNABELLE! TAPES! THE LIGHTER! INTER-DIMENSIONAL PIT! WE NEED TO DESTROY JONAH AND THE EYE SIMULTANEOUSLY! LES GO!

#198 If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you too? Ew, bones reforming. Chill ep. Silly.

#199 Group agrees on plan after ten minute discussion. Martin consulting Jon while he cries in his arms HURT!! Also, Mel thanks Jon. This is going to end horribly, isn’t it?

#200 Statement ends.

Crying tally: |||| |||| (I cried ten [10] times listening to this stupid podcast)

Okay here’s my first post for The Magnus Archives, these are just my episode notes for the first season. Second season will be in a separate post. I sort of lost track of what I was meant to be taking notes on and some of it got long but some of it also kinda needed to be that long lol. This will probably be interesting to very few people but here they are.

I’ll be posting my actual notes on my thoughts after I finish them, I’m still working through them, but it’ll be done soon bc I don’t want to start season 3 until I finish taking down my thoughts.

I did episode two!

MAG 2 - Do Not Open

Case number:

#9981122

Statement of:

Joshua Gillespie

Regarding:

Regarding his time in possession of an apparently empty wooden casket.

Date of statement:

Original statement given November 22nd 1998

Metaplot:

N/A

Character/s mentioned:

Jonathan Sims, head archivist of the Magnus Institute

Joshua’s friends

Man sat across from Joshua (John)

Two delivery men

Tim Stoker, researcher

Location/s mentioned:

Magnus Institute

Amsterdam

A place where they stayed, Elandsstraat

The place the man lived, Liverpool

Joshua’s place of work, Bournemouth

Other notes:

Bournemouth is Jonathan Sims’ home town

Institute was originally unable to find anything on the coffin

When mentioned to Tim he found that Breekon and Hope did exist until 2009 but based in Nottingham

No records of deliveries available

During Joshua’s time in Bournemouth no one else lived in the building and no one moved in after he left

The building was demolished

Tim couldn’t find why no one else lived there

Statement notes:

Went to Amsterdam after graduating from Cardiff

Not very sober

Left alone mid-May

Studied architecture

No map so got lost mid-afternoon

Went to a cafe to relax and got fully dark before realising he wasn’t sat alone

Man is very hard to picture (maybe because of drugs)

Man from Liverpool needed someone to look after a package before it gets picked up

Man had 10,000 pounds in an envelope

Accepted the offer and was told that John would be in touch

Panicked and couldn’t return the money

Can’t remember anything from after the encounter

Decided not to spend any of the money and wanted to return it

John didn’t show up until after he returned to England

A year later he was willing to spend the money

Started a low paying job in Bournemouth

Finally spent some money on renting a nice flat in the centre of town

Assumed he would be impossible to find due to the lack of details shared and the new beard

Answered the door to two red faced delivery men (well over 6 foot) with a large package

Delivery guys not wearing any uniforms

Once they placed the box they left without answering any questions

Package about two metres long, one metre wide, sealed with packing tape with address written in large curving letters

Felt he couldn’t leave without opening the box

Coffin inside the box (unvarnished pale yellow wood, wrapped in a thick chain)

Lock was closed but had the key inside

The lid read “DO NOT OPEN” three inches high

Note read “Delivered with gratitude – J” (presumably John)

Called in sick to work and watched the coffin for an unknown amount of time

Went to the coffin and could not smell anything (such as rotting flesh)

Hand brushed the coffin and it was very warm

Made a cup of tea and just stood there

He stepped back into the hall and removed the key

Placed the key on the table next to the door

Moved the coffin into the livingroom and pushed it against the wall

Wood warm, chain cold

Assumed the coffin was full of drugs

Avoided the coffin as it made him nervous and could smell nothing impling there’s no dead body inside

Felt less and less nervous

After a week, he returned to using the living room but always keeping one eye on the coffin

Absentmindedly placed orange juice on the coffin a sound of movement followed

Deliberate scratching under the juice

Picked up the glass and scratching stopped

Placed the glass at the other end and it took four seconds for the scratching to move

After removing the glass the scratching lasted for another five minutes

Deliberately ignored it and decided to never interact with it

When it rained the coffin began to moan

Was reluctant to make friends thanks to the coffin so was reading a lot

Was reading Michael Crichton’s The Lost World when it started raining

Barely past midday but had to turn on the light

Groaning was almost melodious, almost singing

Somehow knew the sound was from the coffin

Ignored it but the same situations elicited the same responses

Got used to everything and did nothing about getting rid of the coffin

Coffin gave him bad dreams, would wake up being unable to breath

Started sleep walking, found himself over the coffin holding the key

Issue never recurred outside of his home

Tried to move the key to more and more inaccessible placed but found himself to have placed the key in the lock

Placed the key in water and froze it and was unable to reach it while sleep walking

Did that for almost a year and a half

When it rained the coffin didn’t groan and then someone knocked at the door

John and the delivery men were at the door and were shocked to see him alive

John was told where to stick it

John was impressed when he saw the key in ice, Joshua smashed the ice and John picked it up

Didn’t follow the three into the living room

Someone started screaming

Only left the kitchen when the delivery went outside

Joshua followed and watched them lock the coffin in a van labled “Breekon and Hope deliveries”

There was no sign of John

Got a new job and moved to London

Apparent entity/s depicted:

Buried

Being jurgen leitner the day that gerry almost killed him was probably really surreal. Imagine you’re minding your business, collecting fucked up books, and out of nowhere this goth guy covered in eye tattoos shows up and beats you half to death, then stops, goes, “no you’re too pathetic to be jurgen leitner” and leaves without further elaboration. And you dont correct him, you like being alive after all, and after that you just… continue with your life. And then several years later you tell this to some random guy in the tunnels you’ve been hiding in, and he not only knows who the goth was, but seems somewhat fond of the goth. And then you get brutal pipe murdered by the random guy’s boss. Oops

It would be very funny if Jurgen Leitner got his hands on the Death Note.

He'd stick his vanity bookplate on the inside cover and die immediately.

The Magnus Archives

-S2 Notes-

I had a lot more to say on this season apart from the first. (I find some of them funny, like Ep 78)

An animatic may or may not be coming soon.

<- previous notes next notes ->

Handwriting translated below:

{ Note: Magnus was the last name of the man that discovered Arsenic, a lethal poison } [I am not sure what this proves, but I found it interesting]

#43 Police order and fire guy identified (ep. 12?) Jon rizzed cop into getting tapes

#44 circus again, Gertrude’s tape

#46 Book guy, Michael Crew, rain smell (ep. 18)

Here I made a list of episodes that stuck out to me as ones without (obvious) connections to any others (aside from common themes). I felt I should list these to keep an eye out for things that will connect in the future or to look for things I may have missed.

While I may have listened to the entirety of The Magnus Archives, I remember very little of it. So what I've decided to do is relisten and take far too detailed notes. So, here are the notes for episode 1!

Other notes:

Jon has been working for the institute for four years

The institute was formed in 1818

Thousands of files spread around the place both loosley and crushed into boxes

Most of the statements are handwritten or typed on a typewriter

no accompanying digital or audio versions of statements

Some statements will only record onto a tape recorder without severe audio distortion

Jon created a “Discredited” section

Siobhan Dobson, Ashley’s sister, received a photo from Ashley captioned “check out this drunk creature lol” he picture only shows the ally Nathan describes

increasing the contrast on the photo shows the outline of a beckoning, long, thin hand, roughly at waist level of a normal person

Statement notes:

Content of statement happened a few years before being reported

Nathan studies biochemistry at the University of Edinburgh

Renting a student flat down in Southside with other second year

Went to the Albanach (pub) for a “party”

Became overly drunk and walked home

Fell over, not too injured and rolled a cigarette to calm down

Asked for a cigarette by a figure in the dark

Expressionless face on figure

Figure swaying side to side as the floated slightly

Figure’s mouth didn’t move

When Nathan tried for his phone the figure folded at the waist and seemed to be pulled away

Nathan called a taxi home and slept late

Went to investigate, found nothing other than a cigarette (unsmoked) found under the blowout light

Could find no other similar stories but days later found missing posters

John Fellowes was still at the party as Nathan left

In the missing picture of John Fellowes he had a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, same brand as the one under the light

No information found to confirm Nathan’s statement other than the missing persons cases found by Sasha

Six disappearances between 2005 - 2010 all of which remain unsolved

Apparent entity/s depicted:

Stranger
