news today

There have been recent concerns about the whereabouts of Anna, who had been last seen on the grounds of Gatewood III.

Tell your students that times right now are very difficult and it is causing many of us to worry, but assure them that thier 'warriors' from outside have everything under control.

I have felt very weak as of lately and will not be teaching the usual classes in Gatewood I. As for communications of the outside nature, I have entrusted Brother Arius to take charge of these matters for awhile. Please remember that we are only as strong as we will it. I am very strong inside, and I will be praying for all of you.

CHECK YOUR CALENDARS

Don't forget, Dec. 4th is a going to be a big day.
A wonderful meal is to be prepared by Diana and Lili.

And I should have to remind no one of the 22nd! Let's all be prepared,
study late and study often.

Lessons 14 56 57 59 and 62 will be VERY IMPORTANT, so make sure you go over them throughly.

Just a note, December 22 is in fact the Winter Solstice this year.

Full moons near the winter solstice are always striking, but this month's moon is special.

The full moons of December 2005 and December 2006 will be the lowest in 18 years for Southern Hemisphere observers.

For viewers in the Northern Hemisphere, north of the tropics, these full moons will be the highest until 2024, with the full moon appearing directly overhead as far north as The Bahamas, Iran, Nepal, Delhi, and the southern ends of Morocco, Kuwait, and Tibet. In the US, the moon will be overhead in Florida (Cape Kennedy) and southern Texas, and not quite as far north as the Louisiana Delta.

Observers below 60 south will see a very low full moon or none at all. At all locations, the moon will rise and set near its extreme northeast and northwest azimuths (unusually far NE/NW on the horizon); look for this at sunrise and sunset.

So a very unusual full moon.

Monday, December 4

Full Moon (exact at 7:25 p.m. Eastern Standard Time).
Earliest nightfall of the year (at 40° north latitude).

And it's on a Moonday Smile

Also of interest:
The full moon in Dec is called the Full Cold Moon; the full moon in January (on the 3rd in 2007) is called Full Wolf Moon.

The precise moment of the 2006 solstice will be December 21, 2006 at 7:22 P.M. EST (Dec. 22, 00:22 UT).

 		I've been doing a bit of research, and I've found some interesting things. I went on the assumption that the word "Eternus" from the book meant "God," not eternal (it is often used as such). I've found, what sounds like, the god Enoch may be wanting to release.

Quote:
Fenrir (or Fenris) is a gigantic and terrible monster in the shape of a wolf. He is the eldest child of Loki and the giantess Angrboda. The gods learned of a prophecy which stated that the wolf and his family would one day be responsible for the destruction of the world. They caught the wolf and locked him in a cage. Only the god of war, Tyr, dared to feed and take care of the wolf.

When he was still a pup they had nothing to fear, but when the gods saw one day how he had grown, they decided to render him harmless. However, none of the gods had enough courage to face the gigantic wolf. Instead, they tried to trick him. They said the wolf was weak and could never break free when he was chained. Fenrir accepted the challenge and let the gods chain him. Unfortunately, he was so immensely strong that he managed to break the strongest fetters as if they were cobwebs.


The day he is released is called Ragnorak

There was a race of people who worshipped the wolf god who evolved into "Fenrir." They were called "Dacians" or "Getae."

They lived in a well fortified community, that contained 11 sanctuaries.
Quote:
It included fortresses: Sarmizegetusa, Costesti, Blidaru, Piatra Rosie, Capalna; and settlements: Costesti, Fata Cetii, Fetele Albe. The walls of the fortresses were built in a specific technique called murus dacicus.


Quote:
The ritual initiations in the Wolves' brotherhood were passed from Dacia to the Germanic tribes through the Celts' Druids and through the Goths.


They were called the "Wolf Warriors."

And of course we know Hitler was quite fond of the word "Wolf." There's much speculation available about his possible connections to the occult that involve the history I've described.

But I still haven't found that book. Smile

 		we will be getting the rest in a zip file
we will be getting the rest in a zip file then i guess we will have to figure out which page Enoch needs.

Quote:

peoriaonline: Hey there

syl_vi_a: hello

peoriaonline: Sorry I have been elusive the past few days.

syl_vi_a: I'm sure you have been busy
syl_vi_a: did you find out anything?

peoriaonline: Yes, as a matter of fact I did.
peoriaonline: It turns out I had every right to be suspicious of the materials in the bag. The letters are forgeries.

syl_vi_a: really

peoriaonline: It turns out the counterfeits were actually made for other documents of their time. All I have on me is a pile of useless crap.

syl_vi_a: well, that's no good

peoriaonline: No, not really. I thought it seemed like the ramblings of a fruit cake anyways.

syl_vi_a: I can imagine

peoriaonline: Not only that, but the lady next door has been acting weird for someone who's husband is missing.
peoriaonline: I think she's faking it. Maybe for insurance money.

syl_vi_a: how is she acting

peoriaonline: She was putting boxes in her car at 4 am yesterday, but she was walking around like a robot. When I asked her if she was okay (out of sympathy) she hissed at me.
peoriaonline: Hissed.
peoriaonline: I would classify that as a bit odd.

syl_vi_a: very odd, indeed
syl_vi_a: what is she a snake?

peoriaonline: Ha! That's what I would usually refer to her as.

syl_vi_a: lol
syl_vi_a: can i see the rest of the documents you have, i would like to read the stuff even if it is worthless crap and the ramblings of a nut

peoriaonline: Sure, why not. I'll put them in a zip file and have em ready in a few hours, unless you would like me to email them to you due to the late hours.

syl_vi_a: I can wait
syl_vi_a: so zip will be fine

peoriaonline: Alright. Well, I look at it this way, if someone can be entertained by a forgey, I guess its at least worth a smile. Be back in a few.

syl_vi_a: on the last old letter you showed me there looked to be a chemical formual hand writen on it
syl_vi_a: could you tell what it said, it was sort of hard to make out

peoriaonline: formula? I'll have to look at it again. Was it the "Koch" letter?

syl_vi_a: yes

peoriaonline: Hmm let me look at itt...

syl_vi_a: thanks for entertaining me with the forged stuff, i like examining old stuff even if they are not real

peoriaonline: no problem. I've gotten worse, at least these got my attention.

syl_vi_a: could you make out anything with the formula or do you need more time to examine it?

peoriaonline: I'm straining my eyes trying to make it out, I didn't even know it was a formula.
peoriaonline: However,
peoriaonline: it does account for the letter
peoriaonline: from the soldier

syl_vi_a: I'm not sure, I'm just guessing for example L.D.A. could stand for Lithium diisopropylamide
syl_vi_a: but I don't know what it might mean if anything

peoriaonline: Lithium? Like the drug?
peoriaonline: I know the nazi's were using drugs supplied to them during their military status, but I thought it was amphetamines.
peoriaonline: There is a letter from an american that talks about a chemical,
peoriaonline: it will be in the zip folder. I just have to scan it.

syl_vi_a: cool thanks
syl_vi_a: here is some info on the Lithium
syl_vi_a: is a strong base, widely used in organic chemistry for the generation of carbanions.
syl_vi_a: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_diisopropylamide

peoriaonline: Excellent. I'm not as good with chemistry as I was in 1969.
peoriaonline: Smile

syl_vi_a: me either, not good with chemistry

peoriaonline: Hmmm... it's synthesised to make various lithium derivatives, including Lithium Hydroxide (found in batteries)
peoriaonline: and Lithium Sulfate (for bipolar disorder)
peoriaonline: Lithium Nitrate (Flares)
peoriaonline: Here we go...
peoriaonline: I think I know what that chemical was for.

syl_vi_a: great

peoriaonline: Lithium is also a compound used in the production of methamphetamine, at least on the street....
peoriaonline: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methamphetamine
peoriaonline: Pervitin
peoriaonline: Was made for German troops
peoriaonline: to keep them from sleeping

syl_vi_a: wow, never heard of that

peoriaonline: damn nazis, jacked up on meth, no wonder.

syl_vi_a: so they never need to sleep
syl_vi_a: that explains a few things

peoriaonline: yeah but what the hell is Methalycene?
peoriaonline: I can't find it anywhere.
peoriaonline: I guess I'd better get working on that zip folder for you... be back in a few.

syl_vi_a: ok, i couldn't find it either but found Methylene
syl_vi_a: I'll let you get to work on that zip, thanks

While I was chatting with Dr. Price I asked the chat room to look up Pervitin and Mountain Girl found this:

 		Message from father Enoch
Quote:
Dec 1 2006 11:42 PM
Subject: RE: Silent warrior
Body: Good Evening Adrian,

Thank you for stepping forth so bravely to help your fellow man. Athena is being missed greatly, and I have become ill lately.

Brother Arius will soon be taking my place for a while until my strength comes back. Many forces have been attempting to pull Gatewood apart, but so far none have succeeded.

Brother Caine has been causing a scene in front of our friends, trying to scare them away over an old grudge against our friends outside of Gatewood. We need the missing pages of the great text in order to break the curse that has made this place our cell.

It makes sense that you would hide in the shadows, operating in the dark while still making great progress. Such was my strategy as well before I decided to make the move to have electronics in Gatewood. Of course, without our supply men, we would not even have the benefit of knowing the world around us.

Perhaps I should teach you an excerpt of Lesson 14 in our book.

22:13

"...the young boy had not eaten in days, and that in which he wished to obtain in order to free his brothers was just out of reach, as they were poor and wished not to steal. It was not the way of the Great One. The Great One wouldn't need to steal, for he was cunning, powerful. His words across the sky would ward off many, even help him to feed his children."

22:14

"The Great One so bestowed unto his children the gift of Luptanic Verse, so that they could speak as He, gaining what they need for survival."

22:15

"..and after He had appeared to this boy, he suddenly knew to cry to the skies, for his hunger, for his brothers. His throat was dry for he had no water and his stomach in pain for he had no food, and so he took up a branch from the earth, and carved into the soil:

Daasakiyah Viikakkalyai Ianna Onnoroik

and before him appeared that in which he sought, that which was so close to him but still unobtainable. If thee should not be able to speak it, then so thee should carve it, and be able to provide for thyself. This is the gift of The Great One."

That was quoted from out text, and in fact my students will be tested on it soon. Let us hope they studied! Perhaps such lessons from The Great One could help you one day when in a bit of a fix.

Thank You again, and May The Wolf Guide You.

Father Enoch

Hello Father,

I'm one of the many outsiders helping to recover the 5 pages. I would have introduced myself earlier but the loss of Athena made me a bit reluctant, I figured you are all still healing. I'm also gernerally quiet - more of an observer of the things around me, but wanted very much to introduce myself to you.

I've asked to be added to your myspace page - I'm new to this technology (myspace, blogs, messangers) but am trying to catch on. We have made progress on the recovery of the first page and are still trying to understand the nature of our "key" and the mechanics of our lock.

With love,

Adrian

And he carved into the soil:
Daasakiyah Viikakkalyai Ianna Onnoroik

 		Busy night for the Enoch gang
I got the zip file from Price...

Transcriptions
Quote:

Dear Rose,

How have you been? I've been thinking about you so much that I don't quite know what to write now that I finally have the chance. Theyre [sic] supposed to be sending me home soon, but I wont [sic] know until the last minute. Things are pretty chaotic here. Jimmy says to tell you hello. Hes [sic] gotta stay, maybe for another three months. Hows[sic] Amy and Nancy? I miss them so much. Tell them I love them so much. It was so strange, I heard the commander in his quarters the other day saying something that reminded me of that story your dad told all the time when we first got hitched, but maybe it was just the stress making me hear things. They found a wounded German soldier on our way through the village last night, just at the tree line. We wouldnt[sic] have known he was a soldier as he was laying in the snow completely naked. We were ordered to do a perimeter, and we found his badly damaged uniform and a large unmarked med kit. If you see Harry, ask him if hes[sic] ever heard of Methalycene. I never heard of it in all my years of med training. Probably some kind of dope those bastards use. I still have the necklace you gave me and I never take it off. I grab onto it as tight as I can when I get frustrated with this place. Well, I had better get going so this letter gets out your way today.

I love you
SFC David Anderson





This was with it



I have one more - it needs transcription so I'll post it shortly. I also looked for 'methalycene' and couldn't find anything in my brief search - Let me know if anyone wants me to email the actual pics and I'll send 'em.

Here's the last attachment from Price:

Quote:


Lupeus I

The Wold emerged from eternal darkness bringing forth creatures who would one day rule over the great earth. Those creatures were known as mankind, and envied the power of the great one. It would take five rites in order to bring forth the great one once again. The first shall be set forth in a city of ill repute. He shall be born of pure evil. His sacrement unto the Wolf shall be the flesh of all those who profit from lust. A daughter shall be born of his seed, and a daughter unto her and the child will come of age as the keeper of the second Lupean incantation. She must be found.

The five incantations will be discovered long after all but one rite. The one who performs this final rite shall awaken the great one from his eternal sleep.

{insert creepy picture, and I'll let you all decypher what's on the bottom - Ang}








Here ya go - again, if you want me to email just lemme know!
