Catholic Prayers

I found these at Catholic Online then translated them using Google translate and a spanish/english dictionary site. Then I had a co-worker check them "just in case". Unsurprisingly, the computer translations contained errors. heh

ETA 11 Jul 2015: Thalessa, whose first language is Spanish, provided some further corrections to my pathetic Español and I've just finished updated the chapter.

Dios mío, estoy sinceramente arrepentido de ofenderte, y reniego de todos mis pecados.
My God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins.

Señor Jesús, me arrepiento de mis pecados; renunciaré a Satanás y a todas sus obras.
Lord Jesus, I am sorry for my sins, I renounce Satan and all his works.

Oh Jesús mío, ten piedad de nosotros, perdona nuestros pecados, líbranos del fuego del infierno.
O my Jesus, have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell

MISC INFO

I've placed Lisa & Ben in Noblesville, IN, which is 10-15 minutes south of Cicero and part of the Indianapolis metro region. I moved them out of Cicero because: A) of course, she didn't stay in that house or that freaky neighbourhood after nearly losing her son to monsters there; B) the itty-bitty bungalow Lisa has in "99 Problems" and "Swan Song" doesn't match Cicero's demographic; and C) Dean had to be able to find her fairly easily, which means she couldn't have moved far.

I made Lisa's middle name Sophia for no reason other than it would roll well of an upset mother's tongue. "Lisa Sophia! How could you?"

Julie (Julianne Marie) is Lisa's sister. She's married to Paul Murphy. Paul is related to Nancy Taylor. Nancy is married to Steve (Sid) Taylor, who works for Paul. Sid and Nancy are, of course, the unfortunate couple who get killed by the djinn in episode 6.01 (Exile on Main Street).

José Coralejo is cousin to Hector Padilla through their mothers.

Ben's friends are Chris Hardin and Derek Kane. Together they are Chris Kane.

Castiel's fake last name is Novych; Dean's fake name is David Dean Austin.

(MOSTLY) TRUE FACTS:

Angel Names

The information on angels was checked on a variety of sites. If I couldn't find at least two that agreed on a particular definition, I discarded that name and started again. However, some of the sites I found were… hmm, questionable, so do not, by any means, take these definitions as authoritative.

Abrinael is one of the angels of unrest and/or conflict. Specifically governs times of change and "the darker aspects of life".

Elemiah is the "Angel of Inward Journeys" and is said to guide us in calling up or recalling insights from our subconscious.

Harachel is the "Angel of Knowledge" and is said to have the power to open our hearts and minds to new ideas.

Lauviah influences savants and great personages. In its negative aspect, it embodies failure, envy, jealousy, pride, ambition, and greed for power

Mehiel is the angel who is supposed to protect university professors, orators and authors. How could I resist?

Naomi isn't the name of an angel, but it's what SPN gave me, so it's what I used.

Matteuccia's Notes

Matteuccia de Francesco was a real person. She was burned at the stake in 1498 and was one of the first women executed by the Roman Catholic Church for being a witch.

As far as I know, she didn't leave any notes about anything she did or any of the so-called potions she created. In fact, it is more than likely (given the times, her gender, and where she lived) that she was completely illiterate.

The Grand Grimoire

The book known as The Grand Grimoire (also known as the 'Grimoire of Honorius') does exist, and is considered one of the most evil and/or dangerous grimoires ever written. From what I was able to find out, parts of it are reputed to have been written by Pope Honorius III in the 1200's as an instruction book for members of the clergy. It was supposed to give them the means to recognize and fight any fallen angels (not demons) they might encounter. The Vatican supposedly has an original copy.

I saw a modern version (likely highly edited and altered) available for purchase on eBay, but at $700 USD, but I wasn't dedicated enough to actually buy it.

Scotch Whisky

I do not drink Scotch. My father did, but he couldn't afford Balthazar's favoured blends. In order to find Scotch Whisky suitable for a laid-back, hedonistic angel, I went to two sites to get their opinion on the world's best. They were .com and spirits/best_single_malt_scotch. I then Googled the names of ones whose names I liked and read up on them. I had no idea how much went into flavouring Scotch: nuts, berries, other wines, fruit, coffee... It was an eye opener.

Odd fact: When my spellchecker kept spitting at 'whisky', I, of course, did some more research (a perfectly legitimate activity and not related to procrastination at all) and, despite what it says in Wikipedia, single-malt Scotch is the only one spelled 'whisky''—no 'e'. Bourbon, Irish and Canadian… all spell it whiskEy.

Fort Wayne International Airport

I have never been to Fort Wayne, IN, or its airport. I looked at it because it's nearly halfway between Lisa's house in Noblesville, IN, and Saginaw, MI, where I'd planted Amelia and Clair. I took a look around the airport's website and found out that Fort Wayne greets every arrival with a freshly baked cookie! It's only for incoming passengers, but still—Free Cookies! Once I read that, I knew Fort Wayne was the airport I wanted to use for the meeting.
