Topic: Serafina Pekkala


  
  Serafina Pekkala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serafina Pekkala is a witch queen in the His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman.
Serafina appears throughout the fantasy trilogy and is closely associated with the journey of Lyra Belacqua and her companions.
Serafina Pekkala's dæmon is Kaisa, a large grey goose who is capable of being separated from Pekkala by long distances, as is normal with the dæmons of witches.

 The popular English literature
Serafina's journey to the north was made harder by the confusion in the world around her.
Serafina's daemon, Kaisa, had learned from Ruta Skadi's daemon that she had killed the tigers herself in order to punish the Tartar tribe who worshiped them, because the tribesmen had failed to do her honor when she had visited their territory.
Serafina was not sure why she had come, but made the queen welcome, and etiquette demanded that Ruta Skadi should sit on Serafina's right.

 SparkNotes: His Dark Materials: The Subtle Knife
Serafina goes to Svalbard, where she meets Lord Asriel’s servant, who tells her that Lord Asriel means to start a war with God.
Serafina and her witches decide that they need to summon other witch clans to fight on Lord Asriel’s side and protect Lyra.
The man that Serafina Pekkala encounters while she is looking for Lyra and Will mentions that the world of Ci’gazze was once a prosperous and peaceful world and that specters didn’t exist until about 300 years ago—exactly when the knife was created.

 ForumGarden - Any recommendations for cat flaps?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
I have a gorgeous cat called Serafina Pekkala ; my cat flap is in the back door, which is a double-glazed unit.
At first, I thought Serafina was eating more than usual because her wet food plate was licked bare (which she didn't usually do).
Serafina was on my bed at the time so I knew it wasn't her.

Serafina might have noticed, but something else happened: she held up her hand and lifted her head, as did all the other witches.
A few moments later Serafina Pekkala landed with her own witches and with another: a beautiful witch, fierce-eyed and fl-haired, whose cheeks were flushed with anger and excitement.
Let's agree now, Serafina Pekkala, and call a great council of all the witches, every single clan, and make war!" Serafina Pekkala looked at Will, and it seemed to him that she was asking his permission for something.

Their eyes locked; Serafina fought off the urge to plunge her knife deep into the woman's throat immediately, knowing that murdering the ringleader would only make her escape more difficult.
Serafina fingered the arrow Marisa had christened, years ago, and swore that she wouldn't stop until Lyra's mother was dead.
Still, when Serafina finally got away from her duties at Lake Enara to visit a friend of hers in Scotland, and she heard about Lord Asriel, the resulting child, and Edward Coulter's death, she couldn't help but feel slighted.

It was a hard fate and, as she watched the girl sleeping, Serafina Pekkala was tempted by a thing she had never felt before; the tender parts of her heart pulled to warn the girl.
Prophecy be damned, the urge nearly overpowered her as she strained to see past furs and blankets and tangled hair, seeing again the proud little chin and the wide eyes and the strangely challenging set of her mouth, all in her mind's eye.
There, Serafina thought muzzily as she tried again to peer between furs and blankets and sensible scarves, those were proper witch concepts.

Serafina Pekkala knelt by the small girl and put a hand on her forehead, whispering comforting words and stroking back the golden wisps of hair.
It was saddening, Serafina thought, how innocent the girl looked as she slept.
If she had been her mother, she would have taken the child into her arms and told her happy stories and assured her that everything would be all right.

Serafinas such a complicated character and it would take a really good actress to attempt to play her.
Yeah I always thought of Serafina as having dark hair, but if the book says she's blond, then she should be blond in the film, too, I guess.
Hmm...I could see her as Serafina, though, frankly, Claudia Black is the closest I've ever come to the Serafina in my head.

 Dark Materials - Book Reviews | Germantown Academy Upper/Middle School Library - Noodle Tools
Instead of children learning to play the game of quidditch on flying broomsticks at Hogwarts School of Witchraft and Wizardry, in the Dark Materials Trilogy we have Will and Lyra, two children from parallel worlds, who bond as they pursue their individual coming-of-age searches.
The books rollick along as the children encounter the good witch Serafina Pekkala, battle trained mercenaries, make alliances with gyptians and armored bears, adventure after adventure unfolding.
But there is also a serious depth to these books as the children deal with the Religious Authority, search for dust the essence of the universe, while moving from one world into another and then back.

It was a jaw-cracking, lung-bursting yawn and lasted almost a minute, or felt like it, and for all that Lyra struggled, she couldn’t resist the onrush of sleep.
Serafina Pekkala reached a hand over the rim of the basket and touched her eyes, and as Lyra sank to the floor, Pantalaimon fluttered down, changing to an ermine, and crawled to his sleeping place by her neck.
The witch settled her branch into a steady speed beside the basket as they moved north toward Svalbard.

 wotmania: feed your wheel of time addiction
In concluding the spellbinding His Dark Materials trilogy, Pullman produces what may well be the most controversial children's book of recent years.
The witch Serafina Pekkala, quoting an angel, sums up the central theme: "All the history of human life has been a struggle between wisdom and stupidity.
The rebel angels, the followers of wisdom, have always tried to open minds; the Authority and his churches have always tried to keep them closed." Early on, this "Authority" is explicitly identified as the Judeo-Christian God, and he is far from omnipotent: his Kingdom is ruled by a regent.
