 		Ok, here is the e-mail I got from Mike.

Quote:
Hey Rudi,

As for the other items - I was able to get a spray of pine myself. I'm still needing a rose bud and bark, neither of those have been sent to me yet. I was looking at the other items and I think a video of the candle burning would be good as I think it needs to be lit during the ceremony, perhaps we can put the chanting in with the candle video? I, also, still need a feather to the east and a pebble to the west. Someone had promised the pebble, but I have yet to receive a picture of it or the feather. Thanks again for your help.

 		OK, threw my theory at Mikey. Here's the back-and-forth:

Quote:

Mr Surry:
Please accept than I AM a friend. We are sorting through this incantation stuff (we're pretty new at this) and I happened to notice this tidibit (and I quote):
"Chant, and if possible, have others chant with you.
Psyche, guardian of souls, here me.
These offerings of life are laid before you.
Life paired with death;
youth to age;
child to mother;
male to female;
light to dark.
Fire, water, earth, and air, consecrated to you.
Bless me. Bless me. Bless me.
I am my self. I am my self. I am my self.
Restore my soul, my wholeness, my oneness.
I am my self. I am my self. I am my self.
Restore my balance. Heal my mind.
I am my self. I am my self. I am my self.
Repeat this chant three times."
The casual read says that you should say this three times. However, you, being an investigator, will note that it says to chant, then repeat three times. To me, this means that the chant should be said a total of four times. Others say three. We would like to leave it to your discretion. Please advise us on how to proceed.
Best wishes to you,
-Nathan

Quote:

Nathan,
Again thanks for your help. I think I had read it as 3 times total but you may be right. Do you think it would hurt to do it one too many times to be on the safe side?

Quote:

Mikey,
Well, that could go either way I suppose. You say it that one extra time and turn into a rabbit or something. However, my personal opinion is that it should be said four times total. Whatever you're comfortable with, do.
Good luck to you.
Nate

Quote:

Nathan,
You sound like you're more of an expert than I am on this even if you might not have a clue about any of it. Why don't we plan on doing it four times and then if I turn into a rabbit I'll hop over and gnaw on your ankles? Sorry, I've got to inject some humor when I can and it's getting hard and harder. Another night last night, sleepless, staring out of my windows. Maybe I slept, maybe I didn't, but it's horrible out there. I did manage to go outside and grab a spray of pine that had fallen from one of the trees in the back yard. I might even prefer turning into a rabbit versus these hallucinations.


So, looks like Mikey wants to do it four times, just to be safe. I assume we're going to loop it right in the video, so whoever does that should be sure to have it play 4 times.

Of course, in the meantime we still need another chanter.

Also, Mikey still needs the feather, the rose, and the bark. Whoever has them, please send them to him ASAP: mikey SPLAT surryinvestigations DOT com

My bad, I just posted them - I assumed they were being consolidated.

I'll send the feather and the rose now

 		From Mike, after I sent the rose and feather:


Quote:
I've had people gather up the rest of the stuff for me already. I'm still waiting for the oak bark and the video of the candle. I think the plan is to have the chanting on the video of the candle. Do you know how that's coming?

 		I'm going to send along the bark for Dionysus (in case he's off somewhere else). That means we're waiting on a candle lit once by a woman, then snuffed out, then relit for the ritual (right?). If anyone can provide this, please do. We also need one more chanter. I can add the chanting to the video (I think), so you don't need to worry about it.

Good job guys, let's get this resolved for Mikey.

 		I can make the candle video. How long should I leave it burning for the ritual?

 		Probably about 4-5 minutes. I'm going to play the audio 4 times, and it's about 1 minute long. So I would say light it, snuff it out (it doesnt have to burn long here) and then relight it in a timely manner (ie doesnt have to be immediately, you can let it smoke first). Then just let it burn for like 4 and a half minutes, and snuff it out again. That should be suitably dramatic. Very Happy

 		Sorry for the double post but I wanted to bump this cause I have a question. I made the candle video and just using my webcam it's pretty big (62 megs). I am sending it to my boyfriend and he's going to make it smaller (about half that?) but it will still be a large file. Can I still upload it as an attachment here on the forum? I think it will be too big to send in email. I could also put it on YouTube but you need the actual file to add the chant to it, right? What do you want me to do? I also have a website I could upload it to but that site is expiring some time in August so it wouldn't be there long.

 		Use mediafire (up to 100 MB per file). It'll give you some encoded type link to use to share the file. I can dl from there.

Thanks Jain! Very Happy

 		I get a malicious software warning when visiting that page and my browser "strongly suggests not visiting this site". Is there any other way? That's kinda scary, lol.

Edit: what if I just upload it to my own site, can you download it from there?

 		Sure, go for it.

Also, I get no such warning...? I'll have to look into it.

[EDIT]
http://www.webuser.co.uk/forums/showflat.php?Number=400457&page=0

Appears the warning is that you may download things that are boogityoogity, but that the site itself is safe to use. Just don't don't downloading things from random strangers on the internet...

,,,right.
