Constantine 1×10: Quid Pro Quo

Felix Faust chants a spell and then sets Fennel on fire.

“Et stabit de domino vestro, aliquis. Et stabit de domino vestro. Audite vocem meam.”

“Then shall stand up out of your lord, someone. But from your master. Hear my voice.” (Google Translate)

(If anyone happens to have a transcription of the entire command/spell used, please let me know. Thank you)

John:

“Only five books contain this spell, each scattered across the globe by an Irish High King.”

Constantine 1×10: Quid Pro Quo

John using a brush and something by Aleister Crowley to help him investigate cases.

Chas: Geraldine’s body?

John: Alive and breathing, which is good news.

Zed: And the bad?

John: Her soul is being used for a dark purpose, then she doesn’t have long. A day or two at most. 

Zed: How can you separate a soul from the body?

John: You don’t. It’s the Holy Grail of Black Magic. Many immortals? have tried and failed.

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.”

Update #1:

“I’m addressing the entity inside. Who are you? Tell me your name. Hear my words. In the name of the Creator, you are hereby commanded to leave this place. By the blood of Man, be not? and be gone! Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine! (From the snares of the devil, free us, lord!)”

Guess I’m getting a bit better at Googling up Latin words for translation. Heh.

Update.

Anne-marie stabbing Vincente with the Phurba.

For the record… that’s not how you use a phurbu. In Tibetan Bon shamanism, you use it to pin the demon to the ground (usually by the foot!) to hold it in place to be dispelled.

Another pop-culture variant of the tool I love, however is in the movie of The Shadow.

From the library at the University of Virginia:

“The phurba (kila, phur pa) or ritual dagger is a tantric ritual implement used symbolically to conquer evil spirits or negative emotional states, as well as avert obstacles. Phurbas are used in esoteric rites by high level tantric practitioners. The phurba is made in three separate segments: the head, the shank, and the triangular blade. The three-sided blade has two serpent-like creatures called nagas (klu) entwined around it, and above each of the corners of the blade there is a gilded crocodile (makara). The shank is comprised of two inverted lotuses at the center, with what appear to be decorative knot-designs on either side. Finally, at the top of the dagger are the three heads of the deity Vajrakilaya, each with three eyes, blazing bushy hair and eyebrows and skull crowns with turquoise inlay. The triple-head is crowned with a miniature half-vajra. When using the phurba, the meditator recites the appropriate liturgy, and invites the actual deity to abide within the dagger. The practitioner then imagines that he or she is frightening and subduing the evil spirits by impaling them with the blade.”

Well worth a read of a deeper source; Christian  Rätsch’s “Shamanism and Tantra in the Himalayas” (2002)

Successful exorcism of Pazuzu.

“Filthy hell spawn, leave this vessel and be gone. I command you to release John Constantine, this humble servant of God! Go back to hell, beast! Back to the filth that spawned you! This one is not yet ready for your embrace. Forgive him his trespasses, Lord, and protect your servant from this abomination. Return to hell and the fiery pit where you belong!”
