Page "Redwall" Paragraph 6

Though the primary location is an abbey, and a church of St. Ninian's makes appearances, there has been only little mention of a creator or godlike deity.

This occurs throughout the series, such as in the book, Redwall, where Basil Stag Hare comments saying, " Good Lord ," once throughout the story.

There is occasional reference to a ' Spirit of the Seasons ', but whether this is a personal being or an abstract poetic device is not elaborated.

In The Legend of Luke, a song is sung about how " St. Ninian's " is a misnomer from a sign that originally read " This ain't Ninian's !," after a mouse named Ninian refused to help his wife build a house ; some of the lettering later wore off, leaving ironically the words " s ain't Ninian's ," although the church is mentioned as having a lady chapel.

However, there have been at least three mentions of the devil, Hell and other demons.

Cluny the Scourge, after sending one of his minions to death, roars " Tell the devil Cluny sent you!

" On another occasion, Constance the Badger makes a reference to " Hell's whiskers.

" According to the ferret Killconey, the snake Asmodeus is named for " the devil himself " ( the name itself, Asmodeus, is a reference to Asmodai ).

There are also numerous references to " Hellsgate " throughout the series.
