Totenpass

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Totenpass (plural Totenpässe) is a German term sometimes used for inscribed tablets or metal leaves found in burials primarily of those presumed to be initiates into Orphic, Dionysiac, and some ancient Egyptian and Semitic religions. The term may be understood in English as a passport for the dead. The so-called Orphic gold tablets are perhaps the best-known example.
