Just noticed the post from phoenixjez, who seems to be IG as states she's from Florida. Maybe this was th purpose of the blog and removal?

Maybe we need her to find out about MJ?

 Errata

OK, I accept the incorrect diary is just errata.

However, I think that the one avenue left unexplored does relate to the dates and associated words.

That's clearly a clue of sorts, but I am yet to see a theory around it.

Oh, also, I got an email back from Alice when I asked her what was on the cards:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm sorry, I don't understand your request. If you're looking for books about card games, we can recommend some.


So I have asked her to recommend some. We shall see how that goes, I guess...

I'm trying to get in touch with phoenix.

I'm not yet convinced it's actually someone in game and not just someone messing with us, however.

But we shall see. The post removal does suggest there is something very odd going on.

You will have to replace the asterisks with "aro" to see the site as the forum doesn't want to allow the word!

In this deck, the Hermit card is The Dormouse asleep in his teapot. Hmm. And he is Marsh-Ayre. I think this may just confuse things you know........

Did you find further pictures of it?
I don't think it matters if it's a clue - it's still cool ;)

Here's a biography of Dr. Dee, which also gives us an Eastern European link with Poland!

I'm going to see if Alice has any books about him, I'll send the e-mail now!

Wukka, I have found pictures of nearly all the Wonderland cards, scattered all over the place. I have made a note of the one's I have found & will post the list separately.

Chelec, did you read all of your link? It even mentions a paper label on the case!

Whoo Hoo!

Oh my god, this is our mirror! Has anyone sent this to Alice yet?

EDIT: I just sent this to her, advising caution again, despite the fact I know it's falling on deaf ears

I advise caution on getting too excited about our mirror - Treacle & Ink:

The brass fittings must be old and loose, though, because I caught my thumb on something sharp.

And could this passage tell us the three cards needed along with the hermit? Look at what is "seen" on the surface of the mirror!
