My props are here

I now have two prop books to carry around in Vamp:

The Queen's Conjuror - The Life and Magic of Dr Dee
and
The Complete Enochian Dictionary

Queens Conjuror - Read it as well. It's fascinating

[suave-steve.livejournal.com]

Yep a great book

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

The first one I'm actually going to read because it fascinates me as well, the second one is more a prop really. Got to justify what's on my sheet a bit.

Hm, I could be evil, though. ST says, you find this text written in Enochian, I say, cool, send it over, I'll translate it... ;o)

May I further suggest...

[ex-grimjim.livejournal.com]

The Abramelin the Mage book of Hermetic Magic, I forget the proper title...

Somebody want to pay me for reading?
I'll have to give up my job if I wanted to read all the books people recommend to me. I currently have a backlog that lasts me at least three months.
Thanks for the tip, though.

Yeah, it's a great book, very very readable :o)

Settle an Argument

[jonnyargles.livejournal.com]

Does the word 'Klupp' mean anything in German?

Re: Settle an Argument

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Nope.
You might be thinking of Krupp. Foundries, steel works and the like.

Re: Settle an Argument

[jonnyargles.livejournal.com]

Nah, it was an 'Allo, Allo' query. Apparently the writers thought it meant 'ditto' or something.

Re: Settle an Argument

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Well, shows what they know.
It's like the "Germans" in Die Hard. Those played by actual Germans use correct German, the others don't.
I can't remember what it was, some US TV series a couple of weeks ago where some people spoke correct German but with horrible accents. I was quite impressed.

You mean 'Yippie Kie Ay, Kemo Sabe,' isn't German?

Re: Settle an Argument

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

I meant the things the pseudo Germans said, like Alan Rickman's "Schieß den Fenster!" *cringe*

Re: Settle an Argument

"schnell, schnell, der zietz ist kurz"

Re: Settle an Argument

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

LOL!
"Quick, quick, the [dialect for penis] is short!"?

Re: Settle an Argument

[jonnyargles.livejournal.com]

I think it was supposed to refer to the fuse?

Prefer yours, though. Er, translation, that is.

Re: Settle an Argument

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

What they tried to translate was "Time is short" which would be "Die Zeit ist knapp."
