“	Don't like this universe, Sammy. We need to get out of this universe.	”
	— Dean in The French Mistake

Alternate Earth or Alternate Reality is a dimension featured in The French Mistake.

Description

Alternate Earth, in most appearances, is like that of Earth, but with key differences. Alternate Earth does not have most forms of magic in it. Likewise, objects of supernatural origins are also inexistent. Supernatural beings, regardless of origin and alignment, are not normally found in it. Surprisingly, the goblet of blood still works in Alternate Earth.

Its demographics consist mainly of ordinary fauna and flora. Certain humans in earth do not exist in alternate earth, as Sam and Dean Winchester existed as different persons in Alternate Earth.

Access and Location

This alternate reality could only be accessed by means of magic, specifically that of reality warping. A spell and a sigil is required to send any being to the Alternate Earth. Balthazar used salt, blood of lamb and a bone of a lesser saint for the ritual and the sigil. Any being that makes contact in the immediate vicinity of the sigil is then drawn into the alternate reality.

Escaping Alternate Earth is far more difficult, and could not be accomplished even with the same spell used to open a portal into it. Using an unknown method, the Archangel Raphael was able to reverse the spell and create a portal back into Earth.

So far, only angelic beings have shown the capability to send and retrieve beings from alternate earth.
