First of all, if you don’t like the way I run this blog, please unfollow me. If I irritate you that much, just remove me and my blog from your life. Block me.
Second of all, I have a very good reason for not being active (even though I don’t need a reason). I’ve been struggling with depression since last year; I’ve been suffering from ASD my whole life; and recently I’ve relapsed in my anorexia. My mental and psychical health is more important than my blog.
So fuck off because I am not in the mood to be questioned by a silly, ignorant little twat who doesn’t even have the bollocks to send me aggressively rude messages off the anonymous settings.
Reminder to everyone that blogs like mine, like @fandom-x-imagine‘s, like @alloftheimaginesblog‘s are run by PEOPLE. Okay? We have lives, we have struggles, we have things that are more important than producing content for a blog.
You are not paying us for the content we make. We make it on our own terms and because we want to and because we’re in a place where we can do so; if you want our content, if you want @fandom-x-imagine‘s content then be patient, supportive, and nice, don’t be a douche bag who feels entitled to something they’re not.
@fandom-x-imagine does not have to make anything for you, does not have to put up with your rubbish and is entitled and has every right to take time out to look after themselves.
Appreciate writers, imagine blogs, content makers on tumblr because we don’t get paid like youtubers and we do not have to put up with this sort of bullshit. We need breaks just like anyone else.
Anon I have a question, do you even think of the person behind the blog? or are you just an entitled prick?
@fandom-x-imagine, i’m terribly sorry that someone sent you this message, take as much time out of the blog as you need. Your health, mental or physical is 1000xs more important than a blog. Take all the time, I support you wholeheartedly xxxx
Thank you 💚x
You’re more than welcome, sweetheart, you didn’t deserve to be talked to like that! xx

Hellblazer #24
Are there anymore spells your going to upload?
I think that would depend on how many other spells Constantine used in Hellblazer. I’m left with issues 20 to 79 to re-read but he doesn’t use a lot of spells throughout Hellblazer in the first place.
I’ve heard that Justice League: Dark and Constantine (the comic, I think) have Constantine using way more spells but the plot and characterization haven’t drawn me into reading them for more than one or two issues.
However, my submit box is open, and anyone is welcomed to submit spells or occult symbols etc. that haven’t already been listed in the Master Lists.
If you read any of the newer comics, you can always submit them and I’ll publish them with credits.
Do these spells work because it does sound like they do.
I really wouldn’t know, although they sound like they do. Maybe you can give them a go and see what happens.
Constantine 1×10: Quid Pro Quo
John casting Merlin’s protection spell on Chas.

John:
“No, you don’t understand. That spell is a myth; a legend. Merlin created it and cast it at the pass of King Arthur. If any Knight of the Round Table under that spell was killed in the company of lesser knights, he would absorb all the lives of those around him.”
Constantine 1×05: Danse Vaudou.
John and Papa Midnite’s first ritual together in Danse Vaudou – “Relictum Spiritum Ex Purgationes” or “Relictum spiritum expurgationis”, which means “Abandoned Spirits from the Purgatory” (Latin).

“ex purgationes” is not the same as “expurgationis.” This could just be a case of Latin Lite, where they just went with what sounded good. Purgationes is about purifying, and expurgationis is about the act of cleansing, or purging.
The concept of Purgatory, as a place, would have a purgatori- base. And with ex (in this case, from / out of) it would use the… ablative case? is that right, abwatt ? so it would look more like, ex Purgatoriis .. I think – second declension, neuter, and plural since they’re talking about multiple spirits.
But as expurgationis, the concept of cleansing/purging the remaining/that which is left/residual spirits, it still works. But my latin is super rusty… I’m more interested in what abwatt might have to say about it 😛
I just really don’t think Purgatory is right here, because of the base being different – again, of course, unless they were just being super sloppy and thought it sounded “close enough.” Which is totally possible, I admit 😛 hehe
Oh, man…
I hate having to put my Latin skills on the spot like this. Especially medieval Latin filtered through a TV show’s take on what looks good.
OK, moaning aside, let’s take a crack at this:
- relictum — from the word relictus, abandoned or widowed.
- spiritum — accusative form of spiritus, either spirit or soul or breath.
- expurgationis — looks like the genitive singular case of the noun meaning a cleanse/purification/vindication/excuse.
So… “of the purification/excusing/cleansing of a widowed/abandoned spirit”.
Not having seen the TV show episode, I don’t know if that makes sense or not. That said, it looks like a medieval title would look, although I don’t know of a prayer or exorcism that forms this specific structure in Latin.
I suppose one could write such a piece (although in English, and according to Anglican forms because I don’t have the Latin chops to compose a Latin prayer on the fly):
Of the Purification of an Abandoned Spirit
Eternal God, heavenly Father, who aided the witch of Endor in calling up the spirit of Samuel to warn Saul of his doom, and who sent his Son Jesus to the tomb of Lazarus to raise a beloved disciple from the dead: Assist me now, and excuse this abandoned spirit from this place and time, and cleanse their soul of the grime and trouble which keeps it here, and send thy angels to guide this widowed soul to the place where it may reside in grace and peace; for you have promised through your well-beloved Son that wherever two or three are gathered in His Name, your Holy Spirit is there. And so we ask this boon of you in the name of Christ Jesus your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.How’s that?
abwatt – Will you be okay with it if I did a screen shot or copied/pasted your translation? to my original post on this? Shall credit you for that.
graycloak – In case my reply didn’t get through, I’m thankful for the thoughts you’ve given on the occult spells and such. The most recent one was very helpful as well.
