Oh so many fact corrections to be made! I half-suspect we're being trolled, but some of these things do seem to spring from popular fan theories, so just in case:

86.8.210.92 wrote: As syscrash53 says hexenbiests are the top ofthe wesen food chain. They made all of the wesen species. They have a potion to striop a Grimm of his power and one to restore those powers. Thus they made th Grimm. One oftheir number decided to create the Meillifers to attack her rivals. Another thought it a good way to defeat her rivals was to give Grimm's blood trhe power to kill the link between a hexenbiest and her hexenbiest spirit. That enabled the Grimm to break free of the hexenbiests. Since the power of Grimm blood held fast, no hexenbiest had successfully performed the ritual. Adalind's success ended the power of Grimm blood over all hexenbiests forever. It made her a heroine and a fully accepted member of the hexenbiests again. Normally, hexenbiests, who are genetically adapted to bond with a hexenbiest spirit that accepts them on the bais of the next spirit waiting in line. The ritual is different. It's a summoning of one of the select few hexenbiest spirits who are among the most powerful oftheir ilk. Because Adalind was pregant, two got to cross over.

There has never been any creation mythology of any kind on Grimm (a fact I've often lamented). Let alone that Hexenbiests created Wesen. That's a fan theory, and a pretty wild one at that. They are near the top of the food chain, true... just like Grimms are. And Manticores, for that matter. We know this because we've seen other Wesen fear Hexenbiests. But that bit about Hexenbiests creating Wesen - that's just theory.

Also, there is no logical connection whatsoever between Hexenbiests having a way to strip Grimms of their powers (provided that the Hexenbiest has the blood of the Grimm in them), and Hexenbiests creating Grimms. By that logic, Grimms created Hexenbiests as well.

Everything else you said would make a good fanfic, but that's all it is. There's nothing in there that actually comes from the show.

Hexenbiests can suppress their powers and presumably re-awaken their powers, though that requires the active help of another hexenbiest and they don't do sharing very well. Adalaind's powers may return once she returns to work and tries to do what she did when she last worked. Othrewise she's stuck, just like Juliette was.

Probably.

Juliette needed the Grimm powers restored to re-awaken her own hexenbiest powers. Letting women especially think that hexenbiests could be made wasa good way to induce loyalty and support. Eve tells Nick she remembers everything, which Nick told Adalind. It's very possible that Adalind knows exactly who Juliette was before she took on the persona of Juliette Silverton (probably used her corpse to make the suppressant potion) and the kiss was to make sure of Nick. Eve was made by other hexenbiests, unfortunately her inner hexenbiest is just too strong to be long contained.

Did you post this in here instead of in my "Flights of Fancy" thread in the Fanfic board by mistake? I'm seriously asking, because this seems to follow from the first post in that thread, and this would be a great post for that thread.

Sean told Nick that 7 knights were the ancestors of the Grimm. We've seen Nick readinga latin journal of one of his Kessler ancestors back in Roman times, so we know that's a load of bull. Theancestors of the royals, more like. Question is why Sean lied to Nick. I can see Adalind trying to wean Nick away from Sean by telling him that Sean ordered the attacks on NIck's Aunt and on hank to get Nick's key off him. NIck should then counter with 'why did you attack Juliette?' At that point, we'll find out just what Adalind's role really is and who Juliette really is.

Kelly told Nick about the 7 Knights, not Sean. And she didn't say they were THE ancestors, she said they were Grimms, and thus Nick's ancestors, just like every other author of the Grimm journals from the Roman times to the early 1900s.
