'Your thoughts would be loved' - makes me think - querent and oracles and querents taking the souls/thoughts of people...I'm rambling, but I think there is something there, I think it's like an invitation for you to be read??????....

ahh. phooey. I forgot joachim also asked if I knew of RLAU. It is an internet forum he is supposed to ask the admins if I can have access. No luck finding any such forum yet though.

There is quite a lot on google about Monarch butterflies - they go back to Mexico the same day every year, they call it the Day of the Dead, and locals have varios mythologies associated about this natural phenomenon and souls of children...

There is also a current problem with these butterfiles being fed infected corn which is killing them off...

I think the first strand of myths is more appropriate to the whole querent thing, although i'm not sure how this is hanging together?? Maybe the querent is something to do with these dead souls that return to mexico...I'll find out the date.

Has anyone asked the querent to read their mind ? I would, but I don't have any contact details...LOL

The Day of the Dead, happens before the 1st November (spookily coinciding with halloween then?) the seasonal event co-incides with harvest of the corn, hence the problem the Monarchs have by dying when fed with infected corn.....perhaps this IS a movie ARG, for a Halloween film???

I'm rather more fond of monarch butterflies.


The mind control technique vibe of the vids plus the Chariot drug and butterfly pin seemed rather MKULTRA & the outre Project Monarch http://tinyurl.com/5g97yl yet if Joachim hadn't said "monarch" (dang) I'd have shied away from posting this. Laughing

I sent this pic to Querent last night around 1 am and asked him if he could tell me more that I'm quite interested in butterflies... good to know I was on the right track, even though he dodged it.

http://i46.tinypic.com/16gbtba.jpg
(my own pic, not in game, I was trying to see if he'd mention Monarchs specifically... many cultures believe that Monarchs carry messages from the living to the dead.)


I answered his questions, and he said my answers were almost spot on, but I think I'll hold on to them for the time being, because I never know how much is TOO much.

There is this though:

Also, our exchange was ended with this:

Quote:
Our inner world. Good night, good night. Stay busy. RLAU



Tarot in the blog:

The Chariot:


Quote:
The Chariot represents struggle, but not one that the seeker will definitely lose. The Chariot suggests that the seeker actually has a good chance of prevailing if he or she does not give up. Accomplishment can be achieved with effort and resources mix with strong direction. You need to pay attention to details. Harness power and talents and forge ahead. This is a go-for-it card.


The Hanged Man:


Quote:
It should be noted that the tree of sacrifice is living wood, with leaves thereon; that the face expresses deep entrancement, not suffering; that the figure, as a whole, suggests life in suspension, but life and not death. [...] It has been called falsely a card of martyrdom, a card a of prudence, a card of the Great Work, a card of duty [...] I will say very simply on my own part that it expresses the relation, in one of its aspects, between the Divine and the Universe. He who can understand that the story of his higher nature is imbedded in this symbolism will receive intimations concerning a great awakening that is possible, and will know that after the sacred Mystery of Death there is a glorious Mystery of Resurrection

They're both various creepy pictures and movie stills collected from all over.

All the clips and pictures are of Death, Satanism, the Occult, masks, and butterflies.

And these:




Clips from the video Death One (death won?) repeat at the end.

I believe the answer is Death.

It's good to see you guys again!! Got the mirror pic last night like Caseys_mom... and it was intriguing enough to suck me in...

Replyed with:

"You see yourself for who you really are..."

Still crazy busy in RL... but will try and follow this one and help when I can.

Cheers!

PS I also included #1 in the reply as per the youtube vid...

Edit: I have downloaded both the "Question for You" and "Merveilleux!" videos from the tube and converted them into .wmv.... I'm not sure of the posting rules for vids so if someone can let me know I'll post them or send them to wherever they need to be. Thx!


Edit 2: Ok I just looked at all of the pics in the Merveilleux... about 1100 or so I estimate... one every hundreth of a second... all of them are references to death.. a lot of old horror/occult and foreign cinema... some odd quotes like Dwight Shrute on smiling... and even a couple pics from the sanctuary scene from Logan's Run (One of my favorites!)... a lot of crime scene photos and some other avante guardish art... take it for what you may!

I got the mirror pic email, and I hadn't been following this either. Looks pretty interesting though.

Those Tarot 'clues' of the hangman seem to suggest a cocoon - suspended etc...

Monarch butterfly cocoons become transparent before they hatch. transparent like glass...such as joachim pointed to in the blog.

I think the pin reference on the blog, refers to the end of the transformation process.

There is another vid on YouTube - intricate picture, beautiful music, and questions....

I'm Lynneth1310 on youtube, and sent a mail to The Querent. I chose option 2, gave some of my thoughts, like some of you lot were requested to do...and am trying to get more clues about the mirror. Will post if I get anything.

Asked if he had any more questions for me and got this:

Quote:
Merveilleux is having a party soon. Would you like to guess who is attending? If, among all your friends, you can guess 5 of the 20 attending, I will give you some good info.


Can anyone figure out who the opeople in the pictures are?
