Got it.

Oidhche Shamhna is Samhain - October 31st. Something is obviously planned.

Very Happy

EDIT: It is Scots Gaelic - maybe the Scottish gate is active?

Thank you Sir.
I hope your change of health suits you more now.

Everything is going to plan. The Seat is prepared, with an accidental death having occurred, just as Chloe predicted recently.

The realm will be best opened both in physical and mental form - are we to use the computers like last time - hopefully we will have more control than last time - with technology having advanced as it has...
[How is Mr Gates?]

With reverence,
Katherine.

The Seat is perhaps Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh.

My thoughts exactly. Here's another interesting thing - there were direct links between parliament and the location of the last ritual. Arthur's Seat holds similar mystical significance to the Scottish Parliament, located pretty much at its base in Holyrood.

This link gives a nice summary.

http://heritage.scotsman.com/heritage/Edinburgh39s-mystical-history-.6449041.jp


There's a bunch more - The Seat lies on a line that connects it to Rosslyn, home of all sorts of Masonic and Grail mysteries. It's also been suggested the the seat is a Sacred Mountain, and the surrounding countryside creates sacred geometry in a similar way to Rennes Le Chateau.

Edit: O has confirmed we know the when and where, but not the what/why/who/how type bit. Any ideas? Looks like something that can be achieved online from what's been said.

Doesn't it seem odd that they are posting in code in a forum where only members are allowed?

Do they know that two of their members are working against them? Hmmm.

And 'Sitting with the king' must surely confirm King Arthur's seat.

C

EDIT: JAD said "Your numbers meant more than mine". What numbers did JAD post?

EDIT2: Found them...it was the coded extract from Cymbeline with chemical elements that we never actually solved.

We got:

Sb
Cm
D
0.18
H
W
Ta

I've done the same elemental number to ASCII thing as I did on KatH's message but with no success this time.

Maybe it's no longer relevant given that we found the Hampstead Heath location anyway, but I hate to leave a clue unsolved.

I'm fairly certain they translate to a lat/long point.
Sb 51
Shirley Temple had 56 curls.
Cm 96
D ? not sure what this is....

0.18
Halogen Group is 17
W 74
Ta 73

N51o5696? W0.18177473
Yup, leads to a point on Hampstead Way, near wildwood road ish. (at least according to my Sat Nav)
Corrected points are:
51.565074241644176
-0.1835368573665619
Just outside the Hill Gardens at the foot of a pine tree. Where the ritual was held.
As for the code thing, I think it's just showing off. Besides I'm not working against them Wink

Great. I can rest easier now. Laughing

So you're working for them? Cool. Smile

Me, I'm sitting on the fence, like a partial eclipse.

Sir,

Do you require the presence of all members for the forthcoming Oidche ritual at Arthur's hill?

I have been monitoring the communications of those linked with the poplars, since the unfortunate accident which befell a certain IT person. They seem very preoccupied with the loss of some of their number...a russian-sounding man last seen in Wales and some would-be mystic from the same locality, and for the safety of one of Mr. Vehra's associates. Typical of their sort to remain obsessed with past events and ignore the shaping of the future.

Yours respectfully,

Cortez

People will be required - but NOT at the actual site itself. It must remain pure from intrusion of actual people - but in terms of presence - well - more nearer the time. Nut I will leave that to Katherine's good grace.

How odd - I was just thinking of you Jayden.
Indeed - I am setting up the technology as we speak - will give it a trial run either this weekend or next - unsure if it will sustain the gate transferral energies but I will test it in the usual manners and hopefully, unlike last time, it will allow some sort of signal to be sent through.

May I enquire all who read this [old members and new recruits alike]: what things should I take with me to the other side?
Kat.

Heya all, have recently joined this ARG, got to the bit with the morse code, deciphered it and answered the question. (even though I only realised a second ago I didn't do anywhere near 100 words D: ), and i've not got a reply, similar to the ones everyone else seemed to have got.

... what did everyone else do? I actually have no ideas what to, was thinking to draw or do something with the logo? I dunno :s

O has tweeter a link to some mysterious footage Oborot have of the ritual. It's very dark, but you can just about see what's occurring in all its terrible glory. http://t.co/n9ijrP8 it's pretty clear lots of effort went into making this look as good as it does, hiding all the subliminals, etc, so let's all remove all hats we may be wearing and cheer huzzah to him what dun it.

Edit - there's a very odd flash as the camera zooms in on me examining the "map" at 1:51. It appears to be a number of coffins for dolls. Perhaps something to do with the Day Of The Dead?

Edit Edit: an interesting link here from my old favourite Fortean Times about the doll coffins. Looks like they're from Arthur's Seat! http://www.forteantimes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24358&sid=600aae6486e7fbb27780196e4a6c3f76

Wow! This was the footage that "Ben" recorded on his camera phone. How did O get hold of that? Think I need to ask in the order.
Really nicely done that.
That would be me, Dagada (being Cortez) and Ben in the footage, and the guy with the Wolf mask on was Jaydens old body I think.

Jayden.

Please find in your email the recording from the image recorder - while this is a message mainly written for you Sir, I'm posting as I think it could be answered by some of the older members - energies have contaminated the recorder - was it present at the last ritual?
I only ask this as there is more than one presence and I believe the protocol is for solo use only?

Please, correct me if wrong.

Ever your servant,
Katherine.

Yes it was present. I wanted to see if it would receive input from this side of a gate to the other. No image received but then I thought about text. I tried it and thus the recorder received, sporadically, input from our end.

If you re-work the power levels, you should be able to find a compromise.

We will use the previous website - it worked before - it will do so again.

Regarding the random images - they are trace memories of a silly boy - erase them.

OOoh, cold Jay, cold.

Yes, isn't it a tiny bit suspicious that O posted the link and hosted the vid?
