If you work in the German countryside, you will end up seeing some strange stuff.

At last I have been able to verbalise (textualise) my thoughts concerning the publication of my work. My attitude may be summed up by reference to the attached .gif.

A flickering computer screen from the movie War Games, 1980. The text reads: "A STRANGE GAME. THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS NOT TO PLAY. HOW ABOUT A NICE GAME OF CHESS?"

Near the town of Fürth, Emperor Charlemagne sleeps beneath a hill until his time has come again.

@juergen_hubert @mhd @germany @folklore uuuh this sounds fun!
And aye, the King under the Hill is a very ancient and present trope in Middle Europe, having close relation with (though more so in France) the Wild Hunt (if lead by King Herle / Harlequin)

The magical tomes known as "Characters" give their owners the power to achieve anything they want.

But, sooner or later, the owners come to a bad end.

Huh, late 19th century? Would have been after Scheible published the infamous 'Das Kloster' catalogue and (sigil based) folk magic was put into focus to a somewhat wider audience.

Of course! But also the specific phrasing of 'character'?
I always assumed (but that's rather guesswork) that this term found it's way via the Grimoires published in France via 'Bibliothèque Bleu', when a mass market also for spellbooks was established (like 'le caractère de Lucifuge Rofocale' in that infamous pseudo/parodic Grimoire)
