 		May and the Constelation Wolf (Lupus)
since the mention of May I find the following info might be important. taken from http://www.schulmodell.de/astronomie/sternbilder/lupe.php

it may not mean anything but here it is.

Quote:
The legend of the constellation wolf:
Once a time a bloodthirsty King named Lykaon of Arkadien lived in Greece. His daughter had a son from Zeus named Arkas. One day Zeus had been invited for a meal. Lykaon wanted to know if the guest really is Zeus. He dismembered his son-in-law Arkas to give him as a meal to Zeus on the table. Zeus recognized immediately the meat of his son and overturned the table with raving rage. With a flash he killed Lykaons sons and the King he transformed into a wolf. Then Zeus joined the parts of his son again and handed over him the Pleiade Maia who raised him. Now the Zentur Chiron keeps in check in all eternity Lykaon which transformed into Wolf.



What is there interesting about the constellation Wolf?

The constellation Wolf is 620 light years away from our earth. The constellation lies on the "north - edge of our earth".

The neighboring constellations of the Wolf are:
Norma, Circinus, Centaurus , Scorpius, und Libra.


The Wolf culminates on the 9th May. It was script by the classical authors as a wild animal. Because the constellation appears in the southern sky it is not to be observed by our land completely. Only a low part of it is to be seen by a low height about the south horizon in the nights of July and August. In the constellation Wolf 40 stars are to be recognized with the naked eye. But only 10 stars seem rather bright in this constellation and only two of them reach the horizon in our latitudes. There are in the constellation Wolf no interesting objects which would be accessible of the observation with the naked eye.


Here is the image inverted and birghtness and contrast adjusted, you can see it looks like stars.

 		Interesting Tidbits
Here are some things we found in chat that might help:

http://www.zyntara.com/van_March2006/VAN_march2006.htm

http://www.themystica.com/mystica/articles/d/drawing_down_the_moon.html

http://www.springwolf.com/wolves/nature/lupus.htm

http://www.greatdreams.com/life.htm

here is a bit of info taken from http://208.234.11.183/aa/5.shtml
Quote:
Libra. The sign of the scales indicates the Price Which Is Deficient, and the Price Which Covers, describing the fact that Christ has paid in full our penalty for sin and also the meaning of the two bright stars of this sign, Zuben al Genubu and Zuben al Chemali. The three constellations:

Crux. Here we have the crucifixion foretold in the sky. This is the constellation of the revered Southern Cross. Its ancient name in Hebrew, Adom, means Cutting Off. This is the same phrase as that used in Daniel 9:26, referring to the great prophecy of the 70 weeks.

Lupus. This means To Be Slain. The Latins called it Victima, or The Victim.

Corona. Here, in the Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown, we have a Corona, or Crown, for the worthy redeemer. The Hebrew for Corona is Atarah, Royal Crown. In Arabic, it means Ornament or Jewel. The bright star in this constellation is Alpacca and means The Shining.

Summarizing Libra: a crucified victim who receives a crown.




I'll add more as I find them, but for now these make for great research.

 		Heres some Information on "Le Nouvel Opera de Paris". . .

According to this Hitler was indeed a fan of the book, and Garnier's architecture. This actually places a copy in Hitler's hands.
http://www.majorplm.com/catalogue/Cat-G-Books%20-%20Period/AH-OperaGarnier/AH-OperaGarnier.html

Here are a couple articles on Garnier
http://www.britannica.com/ebc/article-9036104
http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/GAG_GEO/GARNIER_JEAN_LOUIS_CHARLES_1825.html

Couldn't find much on the book itself.

 		Sorry i am so late in posting this, I sent Enoch the link to the Doctor's page & asked him to tell me if he saw the document we need, here was his reply

Quote:
I went there as you suggested, and I can feel it stronger than ever. He is the one we need. I must trust my instincts on this because what happens to that page will affect all of us. The children of Gatewood are now referring to you and your comrades as the Warriors, no longer do they call you outsiders. It is such an innocent thing to see, a child who feels safe. Thank You once again, on behalf of all of us.


Father Enoch

 		I'm trying something out here and since I don't know these languages and have to look them up, see what you all think.

It may be way off base. But it is the best I can do.

Look at the image from Dr. Price

Code:
Der Fuhrer hat diese Bucher bestellt:
The Guide  has these books ordered:

Tun Sie dies sofort.           Mai der Wolfuhrer Sie.
Do  you this immediately.      May the Wolfguide you.

Quote:

Latin: Lupeus Eternus = Wolf Eternal

French: Le Nouvel Opera de Paris = The New Opera Of Paris by: Charles Garnier

English: Ledgends of the Gods and Heroes

German: Gotter und symbole auf der Rituell = Gods and Symbols at the Ritual

German: Zeichnen hinunter Der Wolf = Draw Down The Wolf

 		For what is worth, the latin name is misspelled.

Eternal Wolf would be Lupus Aeternus

 		chat with Dr. Price
OK a chat with Dr. Price and he gave me the pages below. But I think we still have to wait for the page we need. He has more pages that have been torn from a book.

His most important statement:

Quote:
peoriaonline: see if you can get these by everyone else and get their opinion.


So, he needs to know what we think about these pages.

I attached the images as they are when he sent me them. but some adjustment may make them easier to read. I checked for steg but found nothing. I'm going to bed so you guys have a go at these and see what you come up with.

the only thing missing is the signature at the bottom and the symbol in the upper left. I will do the other one tomorrow if someone else doesn't already have it done by then. Please feel free to help.

This is what it roughly translates to, although, i don't like rough translations because they don't help me to learn:

 		The Book Of The Dead
Nice job Sylia, I didn't expect to see anything from Dr. Price tonight!

I've started on the 1st document, but incase I fall asleep - here's the highlighted part:


das experiment mit dem arabischen totenbuch

literally translated: the experiment with the Arab dead book

According to Lovecraft, this is "Al Azif" - the original arab name of the Necronomicon.

Still working on the rest - the first doc is tricky to read - magnifying too much in photoshop just blurs it to death, might need someone who actually KNOWS german for that one.

 		The rest of part one
The best I could do is literal translation for the rest (babelfish mostly), too tired to try to put it into the right context:

Here's the text from the photo

Quote:
beauftragte mich Der Reichsmarschall des Grossdeutschen Reiches unter Beteiligung der in Frage kommenden anderem Zentralinstanzen alle erforderlichen Vorbereitungen in organisatorischer sachlicher und materieller Hinsicht fur das experiment mit dem arabischen totenbuch Eine Fotokopie dieser Bestellung lege ich meinen Schreiben bei.

In Anbetracht der auBerordentlichen Bedeutung die diesen Fragenzuzumessen ist und im interesse der Erreichung einer gleichen


and the literal translation:

Quote:
Assigned to me by the Reich Marshall of the Third Reich under participation in question of the coming other central instances all necessary preparations in organizational material and material regard for the experiment with the Arab dead book A photocopy of this order I attach letters to mine.

Considering the auBerordentlichen meaning the these to question-measure out is and in the interest of the reaching of a same.


Couldn't figure out "auBerordentlichen" I'm guessing "supernatural" or something like that...

My *guess* is that this states that photocopies have been made of the necronomicon? Perhaps relating to the "old manuscript" Dr. Price feels is related to the WWII letters.

Possibly the whole goal is to collect the "5 pages" of the necronomicon so that Father Enoch can perform the ritual to release Gatewood from it's curse (I think I remember something relating to a curse?)


Edit - LOL! I should've read the chat transcript first, that pretty much settles it: missing pages from the necronomicon and Price has one of them (the first page).

 		Got a more accurate translation for everyone. Done by Ninikins, resident Deutscher Sprecher.

Document one

German: (thanks, earlywyrm!)
Quote:
beauftragte mich Der Reichsmarschall des Grossdeutschen Reiches unter Beteiligung der in Frage kommenden anderem Zentralinstanzen alle erforderlichen Vorbereitungen in organisatorischer sachlicher und materieller Hinsicht fur das experiment mit dem arabischen totenbuch Eine Fotokopie dieser Bestellung lege ich meinen Schreiben bei.

In Anbetracht der auBerordentlichen Bedeutung die diesen Fragenzuzumessen ist und im interesse der Erreichung einer gleichen


Translation:

Quote:
On 11-6-1941 the marshal of the german realm asked me to make all the necessary preparations to organise materials and the business regarding the experiment with the Arab book of the dead. You will find a photocopy with this letter.

Keeping the exceptional meaning of this request in mind and in the interest of reaching a similar (...)


NOTES:
The last sentence ends abruptly like that in the German version. Doesn't appear to be complete. A translation error on behalf on the PM or on purpose? Ninikins says the sentence construction makes it look as though it was on purpose.

Maybe we should ask the doctor if there was another page to go with this one to complete the sentence?
