doing some unscrambling gives "you must find the sage illuminator and pass the trials"

source from here: http://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/sta/sta09.htm (i think, since i haven't read it Razz)

EDIT: to add relevant bits from above link:
"The technique of the Mysteries was unfolded by the Sage Illuminator, the Master of the Secret House. The power to know his guardian spirit was revealed to the new initiate; the method of disentangling his material body from. his divine vehicle was explained; and to consummate the magnum opus, there was revealed the Divine Name--the secret and unutterable designation of the Supreme Deity, by the very knowledge of which man and his God are made consciously one. With the giving of the Name, the new initiate became himself a pyramid, within the chambers of whose soul numberless other human beings might also receive spiritual enlightenment."

 		Hmm, seems our guides use A little help in making their latest pages. Perhaps it could help us as well? Maybe in the near future?

 		Oh, and by the way, I got the newest email too, though I haven't sent anything to any of the email addresses, at least recently.

And Rogi, no offense but Trout Grumpy already solved that bit. Wink

And great job Grumpy.

 		Hmmm, date directly between the Summer Solstice and the Autumnal Equinox is either August 6th or 7th, if I've done my math right.

A deadline perhaps?

take out the punctuation from the top phrases. line up with the word list below. take the letters from the word list which are under the spaces of the phrases. like this:

Code:
Here begins the second death Upon the cross of solstices and equinoxes
renewal defeat hidden avail vie weapon concealed impart discover wall
    W      E   H      A     V    E   N     E  E         D   O

 shall you be crucified and then sealed away inside a great
faintly know under beneath ruin escape your offset unworth
F     Y   O  U         A   R    E      Y    O      U W

 tomb Your soul must find the way your body cannot the way to freedom
inviolate learning envoy ghosts souls hopelessness fail departures facade
I    L    L    I    N    G   T   O    H    E          L   P

all together: "we have need of you are you willing to help"

tried willing.html, help.html, willingtohelp.html etc. but got nothing. so i've emailed initiatesoneSPLATmystes.com and sageilluminatorSPLATmystes.com saying i'm willing to help (don't know for what though Razz)

 		Neat. I've sent a message to both of those now, including coraxSPLATmystes.com, just in case.

Good job Grumpy.

Worshippy GB!!! So I 'get it' the letters line up with the spaces.... but if you continue after 'help' note that TC would also be there.... is this a signature? Also noticed the C is not a 'regular' C in facade, anyone know what that symbol is?

 		What do ya mean, not a regular C? It looks alright to me and the source (see a couple posts above) doesn't have anything unusual.

This is so bizzare!!! I copy and pasted the page into word to work on it (I have an ongoing file for mystes) and the c has like almost if you put a comma in the center of the bottom of it, a crook? After your posted I went back to site and copy and pasted it again just to check and sure enough it's a plain old regular letter c .... perhaps the first one is a c from a different reality Rolling Eyes
