Sometimes, I don’t know if Constantine is a deliberate troll or something.

My Mandarin Chinese isn’t the best, but the tattoos Constantine transferred over to Oliver has four Chinese characters. The top one seems to be ‘mouse/rat’; the bottom-most one seems to be ‘pig’. They all seem to be written in traditional Chinese characters.

In Hellblazer #243, Constantine simply scribbled the Chinese characters for ‘scoundrel’ within a pentacle and pretended it was an occult symbol just to trick someone.

“By the Judge of the Living and the Dead! By that, who has the power to cast into Hell! Leave this kingdom immediately!”

Arrow 4×05: Haunted.

I’m unsure what this incantation does – help? (from Forever Dreaming)

“Per júdicem vivórum et mortuórum! Qui habet potestatem mittere in infernum! Ut abire ex regno protinus!”

“By the Judge of the Living and the Dead! By that who has the power to cast into Hell! Leave this kingdom immediately!”

(Note: Exact same spell used to banish Furficer back to Hell in Constantine 1×01)

Update #1 with thanks to @thehallofjudgment:

“By the Judge of the Living and the Dead! By that who has the power to cast into Hell! Leave this kingdom immediately!”

Arrow 4×05: Haunted.

Spell to allow travel to the realm of the dead? (from Springfields)

“Pelako ameso yobe eleggua imbone ukuchila panshita. De domino vestro, aliquis. Et stabit de domino vestro. Audite vocem meam. Ancor, anchor, candones helosi et vos eleutis phugori. De cruinne-ce agus akasha seall me do solas!”

(My note/observation: it seems like John used a combination of an African language or dialect – Bemba – and Latin? We can draw parallels between the incantations used in this episode to Constantine 1×01 and 1×02)

This is a friendly reminder that

JOHN CONSTANTINE

is appearing in Arrow on the CW in just over 24 hours. Make sure you don’t miss

JOHN CONSTANTINE

(or Arrow) tomorrow night because

JOHN CONSTANTINE

had his show cancelled and I’m still not ok with that and maybe if enough people tune in to see

JOHN CONSTANTINE

in Arrow tomorrow then maybe people will rethink their decision not to sell the show that

JOHN CONSTANTINE

made so awesome (with more than a little help from his friends).

JIC you’re not aware, this post is about carrying remains home in Tesco shopping bags, tricking the First, Second and Third of the Fallen into saving you from lung cancer, your trenchcoat manifesting all the evil magic it’s ever helped to fend off, and all the other stories we’ll never see on the small screen because the show with

JOHN CONSTANTINE

was cancelled.

Thank you.
