The name of Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god of the underworld, was cited more than once on Buffy the Vampire Slayer… though, perhaps never more prominently than in the premier of the sixth season (“Bargaining”) when Buffy’s grieving friends attempt to bring her back from the dead. Willow’s spell calls for the use of an ancient and hard-to-find artifact known as The Urn of Osiris … which Anya conveniently tracks down on the internet. Buffy’s friends attempt the spell, but things go awry, and the Urn is eventually smashed by a group of demons known as Hellions… leaving Buffy’s fate – and the fate of the world – unknown.
