Thus, it seems like Melody is definitely carrying some magical powers in her as a result of being the descendant of the Baldung. This is further supported when Samuel exclaims how important Melody is and that they (the cult) would never want to hurt her. However, the fact that Melody gets sucked into the world of dark magic despite her mother’s best efforts to avoid it means that the daughter has inherited at least some of her mother’s magical inclinations. In fact, the reason she abandons Melody as a child is to ensure that the latter never gets involved in the dangerous supernatural affairs surrounding Kaelego and the Baldung. Thus, it is hinted (and eventually confirmed) that Melody’s mother is a Baldung. Is Melody a Baldung?Īnother important discovery Melody makes due to the ancient book in Father Russo’s office is that her mother’s ring, which the filmmaker wears around her neck, has a Baldung sigil. However, by discarding the book, they also lost their magical powers. Interestingly, the book that Melody finds in Father Russo’s office is revealed to be a powerful ancient artifact that the Baldung disposed of in order to stop the advent of Kaelego. Across from them, trying to stop the cult from merging the real world with Kaelego’s “other world” are members of the Baldung. On one side is the mysterious cult, which includes the Vos family, Samuel, and basically anyone else seen taking part in the group rituals in front of the statue of Kaelego. However, through fragments of conversation, we can piece together that the Baldung is an ancient group of witches who have long fought to stop the opening of the doors of the “other world.” Even though the show follows the stories of Melody Pendras and Dan Turner, there is an overarching war between two ancient groups ensuing in the backdrop. Melody never does finish reading the book as it is then stolen by Samuel. ![]() ![]() However, she is interrupted before she can read any more and hides the book in her bag. There, in an ancient text of the supernatural, she finds mention of the Baldung - an ancient coven of witches that apparently gave up their powers. The Baldung are first mentioned when Melody breaks into the recently deceased (seemingly murdered) Father Russo’s study. So who are the Baldung? And could Melody be one of them? Let’s take a closer look at ‘Archive 81’ and find out. For all her inexperience regarding the supernatural, Melody also seems to have some kind of connection to the shadowy group. As the vast, decades-long mysteries of a secret cult living in the Visser building start to unravel, members of a hidden group known as the Baldung show up at pivotal moments.
