QUESTION: Could the wand be in plain sight?

Is it possible the the wand which is sought, is the one held in the left hand of Wes' statue?

Quite possible, good spec, Driz...

Does the handprint on the right have a letter on it?

The handprint was found to mean "da" in Sanskrit.

da
Entry da

Meaning 1 (---) giving, granting, causing.

I notice the following in that thread in the description of the chakras http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3543#3543
note the Bold is my emphasis....
Quote:

...according to the Katapayadhi Number Code, associated with the chakra Manipura (also called the Manipuraka). This chakra is associated with ... the combining of will with the physical to create changes in yourself and the world around you. It is noted that *consciousness* and *intelligence* are necessary for these changes, meaning that this is not at all an unconscious act. That you have to work at making the changes... that this takes effort and you have to truly want them.

...where consciousness combines with energy to become Will and this Will is the conscious direction of our life energy toward a manifest goal. If we do not see ourselves as victims, then our Will can shape the world around us.

Where is that wand?

Hmmm, could it be that the Don visited The Hollow Needle looking for the wand?
On the shop's newsletter, there are a couple of good hiding places.
Like inside a grandfather clock? Or how about the second item on this page?
http://www.aglauranj.org/hnnews/page3.htm
It might be a wand, I guess... held by whom... Persephone?
But I digress, would someone be so kind as to ask Phyllis or Iris to take a closer look?
Maybe some of these items came from Sarah's home. If so, there is a possiblity that it is hidden there.
And while they're at it.. maybe someone could peruse the shop for a mask?

This is great spec Drizjr. The wand was described by Dale as being about 8 inches long. It could be hidden anywhere in the shop. We could be on the wrong track following the trails. Although, I think something is hidden on the trails...because Bruce mentions it in his dream of Sarah. Maybe the mask, because Bruce also mentions seeing the Hands of the Shaman painting in his dream of Sarah too. And the Mask features prominately in that painting.

Maybe the three teens found it in the trails and hide it during their visit to the Hollow Neddle

oooo even better spec Shalina. I always thought the STG teens found the wand...maybe they did leave it at the shop. That's a nice twist .

Wasn't Phyllis watching them like a hawk though during their first visit??
She ought to have seen some sleight of hand taking place.

Second visit of the kids, they couldn't get into the shop, because Phyllis had locked it, so they left a note.

So even if they had motive and means, opportunity is still not quite in the picture.

If you look at the Hands of the Shaman painting, the symbol on the palms looks like a spiral. The spiral on the palms is a symbol for Reiki, the Healing Hands. I researched this a long time ago but it didn't seem all that important. Now maybe it is. Or not. Anyway the only bookmark I have left from that time is for a jewelry item.

The hand originally talked about was one in the trailer that showed up during the Wes Combo Puzzle. (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/download.php?id=422)

Now the hand you're talking about in Sarah's Shaman painting is definitly the Reiki Healing Hand. Good job again Dash Razz

Where exactly did Phyllis find the note again?
SPEC: the Teens could have gotten into the shop while she was gone... and left the note just so "we" would know they had been back? I mean if they have GPS and such would it be such a stretch to think they might have a set of "Locksmith" tools to open the lock?

Flame me if you will...

If the teens had a GPS, that means that they would have been tracking coordinates, right? Could the missing manuscript numbers be referring to coordinates on a map? Don't really know, since I don't have tons of experience in this area, but thought I'd throw that out.

Damn my swiss cheese memory! Very Happy

I was referring to the html designations for GW (10+4, etc.).

Last I had heard, we still didn't know what they corresponded to. Right?
