Outlander (2014 – 2026)

After 8 seasons, this series has captured our hearts and attention. For the women, there was plenty of sensuality and family life, and for the men, plenty of sword and rifle fights. But it is the final second of the series that has made it satisfyingly complete. Please remember, this is a romantic and historical fantasy. Supernatural elements have been there all along, so the ending shouldn’t be a surprise, either.

In Season 4, Claire met Adawehi (Tantoo Cardinal), a Cherokee woman, who claimed to have dreamed of the settler, who was making her way in North Carolina after washing ashore in the colonies. Relayed by Adawehi’s granddaughter-in-law, Giduhwa (Crystle Lightning), her dream word-for-word was described as, “The moon was in the water, and you became a white raven. You flew over the water and swallowed the moon. The white raven flew back and laid an egg in the palm of her hand. The egg split open, and there was a shining stone inside. She knew this was great magic, that the stone could heal sickness.”

When Claire asked for clarification, wondering if Adawehi was a healer, Giduhwa confirmed as much, sharing, “a very powerful healer.” Ultimately, Adawehi told Giduhwa of Claire, “You have medicine now, but you will have more. When your hair is white like snow, you will have wisdom beyond time. You must not be troubled. Death is sent from the gods. It will not be your fault.”

At the time, Adawehi’s words were ominous and unclear in their meaning, but now that the series finale has aired, they could easily be applied to Claire and Jamie’s ending. After Jamie seemingly died, Claire released a breath, suggesting she was joining him, but when they awoke together, her hair had turned pure white… like snow.
