Can you post the email or PM it to me? I'd be interested in playing if it is indeed an ARG!

Yes, I believe it is chapter two of a previous ARG. Unfortunately I'm taveling now with very limited access. Just opened a second email. Apperantly there is something on Twitter from annasattic. I suspect the Latin might be something. Will post original email when time/signal allows.
2nd email :
"Dearest Anna,
Thank you for getting back to me about the estate sale. My worst fear has come true, which is the news you reported to me via twitter, that somebody has purchased the estate. Here's the thing. He was not a wealthy or important person, so for someone to show up and purchase his estate means they know what he had. However, this girl, whoever she is, has put herself and many others in great peril.
I must find her.
Is there anything you can tell me to help me locate her?
I will pay you any amount of money. I can also offer to do a reading of the cards for you. If you know me at all, you know that is a valuable gift.
Best Wishes,
Winter Sylvana"

First email. Was sent to annasattic.net
Seem I got it by mistake?
"Dear Anna,
I was referred to your store by an old friend from Williams, who said that you are the person to talk to regarding art and antiques. She passed away recently, and I found your contact info among her papers. Her name was Katherine Collins and she always spoke highly of you. I think because she once had a daughter named Anna.
I am contacting you because years ago I was visiting a man named Frank Roanhorse, who told me that if I could find for him a lost painting, he would give me something of rare historical value. He told me that the name of the painting was "The Fire" and that it was done by a local artist in Flagstaff. I happen to know the artist, and for years I attempted to get hold of the painting, but the artist told me he had misplaced it.
He recently found it and gave it to me, but when I went to see Frank Roanhorse I discovered that he was dead. I guess when you get to be our age you lose a lot of people.
I talked to his sister Nancy who told me that most of his belongings had been sold at an estate sale.
Have you recently attended any estate sales in Flagstaff or the surrounding areas? I am desperate to know if there were any unique objects in Frank's possession, but I am afraid that the trail has gone cold.
Also, if you would be interested in acquiring the "The Fire," I would be glad to give it to you in trade.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.
Best Wishes,
Winter Sylvana"

Hi Hi All. Thanks for posting this trailhead. Booba!
Winter's emails are sent from her new, attractive website: http://www.foolschildren.com/
There's a link to her new twitter https://twitter.com/foolschildren where we can also follow Anna https://twitter.com/annas1918
On Winter's (foolschildren) twitter there's a Tarot Magician jpeg with a number to letter sub that's not on the original stock image. It solves as: A Gift For You.
Didn't 'spoiler' the above as I wanna mention I'll likely be around only on my IPad and not much help with deeper photo manipulation etc.
Please feel 100% free to press Winter further on twitter about our "gift". And have tons-of-fun!
EDIT: Clicking on the bottom right corner of the Winter path image (Image 5/eight) leads here: http://www.foolschildren.com/contact.html
PLUS : Just found a jpeg titled "mailingaddress" at http://hidden.foolschildren.com/ . Maybe Winter wants us to contact her with our mailing addresses?

Exciting! Thank you, booba for the post and big thanks to Amandel for the heads up! I didn't get the email but I will definitely be following along anyway. (even if only in the shadows) I had a really great time participating in part une. Looks like we have found our way back to the beginning again. Can't wait to see where Anna's (and Winter's) stories take us.

Hi again All and a special Welcome to UF for Yawges and any newbies who haven't yet posted!
stringstheory : Cardkeepers Wikispace is "not found" 'tho the good news is that https://cardkeepers.wordpress.com/ is filled with backstory & reference material.
Grimangel53 : Winter's latest emails came from this address: keeperSPLAT foolschildren.com
And,yaha, Winter has made a couple of website revisions (e.g. removed "contact.html") of which I believe "key.html" is the most recent.

New tweet entitled "Choose" and new quote on the foolschildren site.
"And so it is, that both the Devil and the angelic Spirit present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice." ~Rumi
The "Choice" links to a contact page:
http://www.foolschildren.com/contact.html
which requests you to choose a card from the minor arcana.

And my response from Winter:
Quote:
The Ace of Wands is an excellent choice. It's a card about acting in the moment, without taking time to think or conduct research. A wise person knows when it's time to think and ponder, and when it's time to jump in head first. This is a card with a tremendous amount of creative force behind it. Use its energy to propel you forward.
If you'd like to continue, take a photograph of yourself with an object that represents the element (earth, air, fire, water) in your card. You do not have to show your face, and the photograph will not be published.
Thank you for your service to the Keepers.
Faithfully Yours,
Winter Sylvana
