Postby Tonyblack » Tue Mar 16, 2010 11:12 pm

Any spelling mistakes are probably mine. :D

Egyenjogú Rítusok -
Helle Barden -
Zaslaná Pošta -
Alles Sense! -
Ruchome Obrazki -

Gevatter Tod - Mort (Tod is death in German ... Mort is Death in French ... )
Macbest - Wyrd Sisters (Wyrd Sisters is a parody of Macbeth)

Those two are the only ones I am going to guess at.

Helle Barden - Men at arms?
Total Verhext - Witches abroad?
Der Erbe Des Zauberes - could be Equal Rites if Zauber means wizard :wink:
