  • Regarding the words on Scar's arm tattoo, four of them are in Latin: Terra, Aer, Ignis, and Aqua (spelled Aqva). These are the four classical elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The presence of the Caduceus alongside these four elements might be a reference to the Quintessence (which I linked to the character of Truth back in video 1). Eliphas Levi (the occultist I discussed in video 4) linked the Azoth (whose symbol is the Caduceus) with the Quintessence. Quote:
    "(The Azoth aka the) Universal Medicine is, for the soul, supreme reason and absolute justice; for the mind, it is mathematical and practical truth; for the body, it is the quintessence." (Transcendental Magic, Page 154)
    The smaller words are a bit more difficult to make out. According to this Reddit post ( / is_the_text_in_this_dr... ), some of the made-up words resemble Latin:
    colas = calor (heat)
    humar = (h)umidus = wet
    sicca = siccus (dry)
    Though I don't think there's enough evidence to believe this is true, it would line up well alongside the four elements. After all, the four elements produce the four states of hotness, coldness, dryness and moistness.
    There's another post that suggests they translate as follows:
    "Dop la TERRA sicca A Ndan, colia" = After the land of Adam, the voice of God" / OR / "The reign of land and sky"
    As for "cah bue AER hu ma V Snon, glus", neither I nor anybody else seems to know.
