How Laura Moon became the goddess of Death and Human Sacrifices
If you’re like me, you have really horrible fantasies of Laura Moon being killed off American Gods for good. Afterall, she has to be the most annoying character on television. Yet, she keeps living, gaining more and more screen time. And we are all scratching our heads thinking, why does Anansi and Mad Sweeney get killed off, but this woman just keeps on ticking? Well, there is a rhyme and reason for that. The first is that Laura Moon embodies the darkness and apathy that her husband Shadow Moon is hoarding. And the second is that Laura Moon’s entire job is to be destructive. She is the epitome of death and yes, you probably guessed it, human sacrifices. I will explain all of this and more in this episode of witchy and bitchy. So stay tuned.
American Gods Laura Moon is so annoying
It was hard to watch Laura Moon, she wasn’t just distant and cold, she was miserable. She drudged through life, going from a home that was void of magic, to a dead-end job that she appeared to loath. She meets her future husband Shadow Moon at a casino she works at and calls him out on his amateur hustling tactics. Shadow Moon is bemused, besides this is probably the first woman, since his mother died, who actually called him out on his shit. The story progresses into Shadow Moon pursuing Laura. She takes him home, where a can of Get Gone is on the counter, and cartoons are playing on the TV set. Shadow Moon wants to be loving and gentle, but soon learns that Laura likes things rough and tough, she slaps him. This excites Shadow Moon as he rips off her clothes. And poor Laura moon struggles to feel something, anything.
Narcissistic relationship patterns between Shadow Moon and Mad Sweeny.
In other scenes we see that Shadow Moon is falling madly in love with Laura. We can tell by the way that he looks at her. Laura, in traditional narcissistic fashion calls her husband a puppy. Yet, puppy isn’t a term of endearment. Rather, it’s her own way of feeling sorry for a man who believes in something that doesn’t exist. Laura Moon has lost her magic mojo a long time ago. As a kid, she was filled with mysticism and wonder, but as the veil of truth thinned and reality reared its ugly head, she learned that there was no Santa Clause, or Easter Bunny, or worlds filled with magic. Her lack of belief not only makes her life hard, but dull. Love making becomes mechanical, and the only thing that she craves is admiration and validation from her husband. So much so, that she challenges his loyalty by orchestrating a casino heist that would make her very rich and happy. Only problem is, bad luck seeps in and things go horribly wrong. Shadow Moon, out of love for his wife to decides spare her, and do hard time in her stead. Meanwhile Laure Moon is alone, missing her narcissistic supply.
Robbie has no idea how to deal with a narcissist
Her cat dies and her neighbor Robbie pops in to help her bury him. He works to console her, but Laura Moon says that she didn’t even like the cat. She just needed something, anything to give her validation. Robbie and Laura engage in a long and secret love affair. She makes things clear to Robbie by telling him that she’s waiting for Shadow Moon, while pulling on his zipper and inviting him inside. In truth, she’s telling Robbie that he will be her narcissistic supply until her puppy Shadow Moon comes back home. This love affair ends with Robbie vowing his love for Laura. Sadly, Robbie doesn’t really love Laura. His ego does. And him, being the self-absorbed, typical Alpha male jock, can’t let another man move in on his territory. Laura Moon knows this and is going to miss her narcissistic supply. So, to end things, she performs one last blow job. Only problem is that Odin’s birds are watching. They’re always watching. Fate interferes and both Robbie and Laura moon die in a fatal car crash. All of the ugly secrets of their affair are exposed, leaving Shadow Moon, confused and broken.
The root cause of narcissism
As the series progresses, the writers of the show tries to build empathy for such a terrible character. Like most covert narcissist, Laura Moon had a terrible childhood. We see this when she is forced into helping her father seduce another woman. This scene represents the turning point for Laura Moon. In it, we learned that Laura Moon could never really love anyone. Afterall, her parents had shown her that love is for suckers. And if she truly wants to get anywhere in life. She needs to use people instead. From this scene, we can see that Laura’s parents probably often used her to do their dirty deeds. This caused her to not only lose faith in humanity but closing her heart off to love forever.
Do narcissist know that they have no empathy
And that was precisely Laura Moon’s problem from the very beginning. She had the inability to love. Instead, she became a vampire, sucking the life-force out of everyone in her path, including Mad Sweeney. Now, a lot of people think that narcissist lack empathy, and yes that is very true. However, narcissist lack empathy because they refused to grow. Their vile behavior results from their own internal frustrations of not experiencing growth and most importantly love. The biggest problem that the narcissist faces is that they don’t understand the concept of self-sacrifice. They fail to understand that they have to give something to get something. So, instead, they manipulate, play games, and take, and take, and take.
Human sacrifices in Norse Mythology and in Mesoamerica
Laura Moon’s character arc is all about destruction, death, and human sacrifice. This is why she risings from the dead and becomes a revenant. Now, people looking from the outside in would think that human sacrifice is all about throwing someone into a volcano or ripping their hearts out as they’re dipped into a pit of flaming hot lava. In truth, a human sacrifice is all about what you’re willing to give to honor another person. When it comes to love, we make the sacrifice of vulnerability. We have to open ourselves up and risk the chance of disappointment and heart break. Laura Moon never made any of these sacrifices, and as a result her life never changed. Mr. Wednesday, in his own brutal way, tried to teach Laura this lesson when he gets her to kill Argus, the god of surveillance. She stabs him in the neck, and the rotting stops, only temporarily. Laura Moon is angered because she was looking for a permanent fix. Sadly, a permanent fix would entail a greater human sacrifice.
Heartbreak is a falling in love disorder
Throughout the first two seasons of American Gods, we see Mad Sweeny and the Dead wife, hobbling about. Both are looking for ways to bring about Laura Moon’s resurrection. Besides, if she is brought back to life, Mad Sweeny will get his coin and his luck back. Yet, scene after scene, we see Laura Moon, using the power that Mad Sweeney gave her against him. She deteriorates and he has rotten luck. Yet Laura Moon won’t give him back his coin. Secretly she enjoys the narcissistic supply that she gets from Mad Sweeney. But also, Mad Sweeney is self-sacrificing, ready and willing to forgo his own needs for the sake of others. Overtime, Laura realizes that Mad Sweeney’s energy supply simply won’t be enough. Laura has too much power over Mad Sweeney. And he is no longer a challenge for her. She needs to go after her nest egg, her ex-husband Shadow Moon. She believes that the love of Shadow Moon would make her whole again. Only problem is that Shadow Moon is obsessed with his own quest towards resurrection.
Why Mad Sweeny can’t stop loving a narcissist
After a failed attempt to become resurrected by the old goddess known as Easter. Mad Sweeney and Laura Moon trek down to New Orleans where they meet the Baran Samedi. He concocts a potion that reveals Laura Moon’s true intentions, her desire to open up her heart and love. You see this in a scene where the Barron tricks Laura Moon into thinking that he’s going to give her the narcissistic supply that she craves. He makes love to her, only for her to end up with the man she secretly loves, Mad Sweeny, instead. After, Laura Moon is deeply offended, feeling duped, and also feeling stupid because she had let down her guard and allowed people to use her. Afterall, she was the one that uses people, not the other way around. She goes back to Shadow Moon thinking that she can influence him, very much like she used to. Yet, her attempts at rallying him back to her side her futile. The spell is broken, and Shadow Moon sees her for what she truly is, a narcissistic vampire who preyed on his human emotions throughout their entire marriage.
How a narcissist grooms you: Laura Moon takes another shot at Shadow Moon
Laura Moon warns him about Wednesday. Besides, she’s a hustler too and knows a good con man when she sees one. Shadow Moon ignores her and then goes on to kill Mad Sweeney. Only to find out later that he too was being used as a pawn, doing Wednesday’s dirty work so that he could ascend and start a war that would help him regain his position as a powerful god. In the beginning of season three, we see Laura Moon, finally making her sacrifice. She removes the coin from her rib and tries to give it to Mad Sweeney. She dies again in the process, goes into purgatory, and is thrust back once the Baran Samedi’s potion takes full effect. Now, Laura Moon is alive, open to love, and needs to embark on the path of making the ultimate human sacrifice, killing Odin, the Norse god of war.
