Keats, Yeats - they're not even pronounced the same so why do I always get them confused. Good work on the Tarot. Wonder if a mention of the autumn equinox is a clue that our actions at the meet will have a major effect? This year it's the 23rd Sept

Edit - new clue from O

Just been chatting with Vladimir...

Aspen responded:

[Cortez]

Blake was living in Lambeth when he produced 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell', in which he began to describe his alternative mythology. Lambeth Palace is, I believe, just around the corner from the Houses of Parliament.

[Dagada]

I thought he was at 28 Poland Street when he wrote that. He also got involved in the great east cheap New Jerusalem Swedenborg church.

[Cortez]

Well, he lived in Poland St until 1791, but TMOHAH wasn't completed until 1793. You pays your money...

[Dagada]

I shall side with your opinion - I'm sure more clues will waft our way shortly to help us narrow it down.

Now, here's the question. What is Jayden planning for the same time? Has anyone gained his trust enough to get an invite yet?

EDIT: looking at non iPhone version of Google Maps, when you zoom right in the pin is on Hill Gardens. There's only a few places in London this can refer to - one of which is in Paddington and the other is the aforementioned place with the Pergola in Hampstead. Nw3 7ex. Not sure how or if either link to Blake, other than the famous drawing of Blake in Hampstead and that he often stayed on the edge of the Heath in the summer.

Lambeth, however.... St Thomas Hospital is in Lambeth and is part of Guys where the statue of Keats mention by O is. I'm soundly confused now as to where this meeting is going to be. It's done my brain in, guv.

Sorry for the double post but more clues from Aspen

The email was titled "ears cut short, and his tail cut long...."

[Cortez]

I actually think you're right, Dagada.

Blake started writing HaH whilst living at Poland St, and just down the road was the King's Arms pub (now a gay bar) where the Ancient Order of the Druids met in the 1790s. There is no evidence that Blake joined the Order, however they claim that he became Grandmaster.

A famous letter appeared in a magazine at the time (in 1792) describing an event on Primrose Hill which took place on the Autumn equinox.

I think Primrose Hill is therefore the meeting place...IMHO. Keats, whilst I admire his brilliance, is a red herring here I think.

A lovely place to watch the sunset

New message from Aspen:

[Dagada]

Linnell, of course, drew William Blake At Hampstead, where Hill Garden is located.

[Cortez]

It's all coming together nicely.

But, the Hill Garden closes at 5pm...so it definitely rules that out (unless Aspen wants you to break in )

'When London surrounds Primrose Hill, the streets of the Metropolis will run with blood'.

[Dagada]

I think you're right about Primrose Hill. As you mentioned before about Blake being initiated there, Wikipedia mentions a group having its meeting there too. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorsedd. Gorsedd means Bard.

Now - how do we extract the exact location from that number?

Edit: this webpage has much information. http://www.philipcoppens.com/celtic_london.html

It mentions Parliment Hill, also known as Traitor's Hill, which is interesting in conjunction with where the original marker was placed and the repeated use of the word Traitor to refer to Blake. But then it goes on to link Blake pretty specifically to Primrose Hill.
