 		TuringPrinciple's Pathways
I thought we could use a thread in the Puzzle section in order to keep the pathways straight. Please use this only to add pathways, and continue to post conversations in the Interaction forum.

EDIT*** Just so this doesn't get muddled, I will just keep adding to my original post.

So far we have:

The Strega trad direct their prayers to the Roman gods and was founded in the 20th century, and set forth to establish pagans in the eyes of a modern era as respectable members of society.
turingprinciple: "I foresee that a day will come, and that perhaps not so very far distant, that the world of scholars will be amazed to consider to what a late period and immense body of antique tradition survived in northern Italy, and how indifferent the learned were regarding it . . ."

 		Posted by Geist (I just re-posted it here to have the keywords alltogether Razz)

I just though alchemy was transformation of base metal's into gold. Yet seems there is also a mystical side that involes the soul reaching celestial sphere. Myssfitz noticed that elixir has popped up again and farther down the page it has:

In the Sufi tradition the stone or elixir was regarded as a state of mind. In Sufi development the seeker has to pass through seven stages of preparation, these stages called 'men' are degrees of transmutation of consciousness.

This led me to go to http://www.alchemylab.com/secret_fire.htm and talking to turingprinciple get this:

lol...I asked this very question after the first secret node was given. I guess it wasn't quite ready and like TP said "Sometimes you have to ask me more than once"... Smile (Just an FYI as we go not to discount something that seems important because you don't get an answer).

That's an awfully vague statement for TP, she danced all around the name of that religion. Whatever it is, I bet it's the next keyword.

Laughing You should post that in the funnies (Comic Relief/Interaction). It might be fun to read that thread over when we're done. Too funny:)

 		MAGICK PATHWAY KEYWORDS:

From LazarusLong:
Quote:

Googling "Strega trad" gave me the following: http://www.schoolofmagick.com/general/g1.html

Quote:
Wiccan often refers to a particular type of pagan practitioner of magick. The term was coined by the Gardnerians. This sect or "trad" (among many. A "trad" is a particular hierarchy of deities acknowledged, often according to culture. For example, the Strega trad are of Italian descent, and direct their prayers to the Roman gods) was founded in the 20th century, and set forth to establish pagans in the eyes of a modern era as respectable members of society. Many more trads have since adopted the term to identify themselves.

And then I asked TP:

Quote:

the42guy and Varin posted the author of the quote at the same time Smile

Quote:
That quote is Charles Godfrey Leland, 1899.


And then Lazarus found the last keyword:

Quote:
Once again, this was too easy.

Quote:

TuringPrinciple: Charles Godfrey Leland was the founder and first president of the Gypsy Lore Society, and was a prolific author and folklorist. He is best known, in this day and age, as being the author of: Aradia or the Gospel Of The Witches. * end of this pathway *

 		Shelina,

I thought it would be easier to update my original post with the new info last night for reference sake. I was finding it hard to keep track of in different posts. This way if someone wants to see the progress with TP's keywords they need only pop in here to the top of the thread.

I think I'll move the original post to the QR thread and keep adding to it there...as we're not actually working a puzzle in this particular thread.
