Tho Cool idea Elethamei. Was wondering if Jenna might be the keeper of the AIR element. Even more so after Winter sent this pic of a plane flying East..

They're people, but do they have to be keepers? Aiden makes sense as fire, but what if the other people are like Cara and Martin and her mom?

Having said that, the professor is probably air, as we established he is swords, right?

Dr. Ellershaw seems likely as the keeper of Earth to me. The archeaological dig and all.

Edit: I am in agreement with amandel that the keeper of the air element has some connection with the airport. Maybe Jenna. I think the elemental keepers /literally/ interact with the elements on regular basis. I e-mailed them about Dr. Ellershaw.

Does anyone have any idea about the keeper of Water? I'm drawing a blank there. I keep thinking of Katara Laughing from the cartoon series.

So, if Aiden is fire, Mike Lawler is air and Ellershaw is earth (makes sense to me) we just need a water.

Also, I remembered; Anna found a key on the dog's collar, with 'I fly away' on it. Maybe that's what we're being nudged to remember with the airplane picture?

Edit: Sorry SPI; I hadn't seen your message!

Water is the suit of cups, and the emotional aspects apparently. Her mother is the most emotional character we've seen. But I can't help feeling Jenna has a bigger part to play, too...

OOH....a Cardkeepers' update titled The Elements with an interesting ending.

And in reply to my asking about the airplane flying East Winter wrote:
Excellent work, Jenna is indeed the Keeper of the Air.

Ok, shows what I know, lol.

Michael Lawler is not the keeper of any suit, so I have been told.

The key on the dog collar is important. Winter asked me how many keys we'd found. I asked if it was two, with the storage locker key also.

So, then, I assume Sarah is the keeper of water, as with Jenna and Ellashaw they're the other confirmed keepers we know.

Yep, Dr. Ellershaw has been officially confirmed:

Quote:


Great job! Yes, Dr. Ellershaw is Keeper of Earth.


And I see that amandel has worked out who Air is! Yay!

I am very interested to see where that line of thought/e-mails goes, Sarah B!

I like your idea of the Keeper of Water, also. Have you e-mailed to confirm?

New blog post:

Tarocchi
by cardkeepers

Michael Lawler sat at the table drinking a beer he had found in Aunt Ruthie's kitchen. Martin drank one as well and Clara and Anna drank Cokes. Clara had cleared away and washed the dishes and Martin had out his notebook and was furiously taking notes as they talked. Mike said he would tell them everything he knew.

"Your father came to me last year asking if I knew anything about Tarot. He told me that he'd been visited by your mother's sister, your Aunt Ruthie, and she told him that his family had been chosen for something very special and that it was time for him to gain an understanding of Tarot. He wouldn't go into much detail but he wanted to find out as much as he could."

"I didn't know much, except for maybe what I had read in novels. I enjoy novels about mysteries and the Occult. The word Occult, which has so many negative connotations of witchcraft and devil worshiping, really just means 'hidden or secret knowledge.' Many people believed, and still do, that ancient wisdom and secret practices were handed down using symbolic methods so that the information could not be used to gain power if it fell into the wrong hands."

Anna pulled out the deck of cards from her backpack and spread them out on the table. "So these cards might be hiding secrets? No wonder they have so many strange pictures."

"Nobody knows for sure, Anna. Many people believe they are completely innocuous, others believe they are used for divination and witchcraft, and still others believe that their power is ancient and deep, with long-forgotten secrets buried within."

"Your father was paticularly interested in something called the Tarocchi of Mantegna. He became convinced in the course of his research that it was of vital importance. As far as I know, he was planning a trip to Istanbul to meet up with a scholar and collector who had information about the Tarocchi of Mantegna. I didn't hear from him again until I received the letter that was intended for you."


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantegna_Tarocchi

And if you like looking at the pictures as I do, I found a site with all the different variations of these cards http://trionfi.com/mantegna/

Okay, that Jenna = air, Ellershaw = earth was my other theory and it apparently was right Smile But good job everyone! I'm also stuck with the water one. I was actually thinking that maybe the Wise One is the Keeper of water because he had soda cans Laughing Gah, idk.

Bravo, S.P.I, Cool thinking, Elethamei. Nice pics, Pia & interesting replies, Sarah. Can only think of cipher keys. Would be srsly super if Sarah was 'water' tho....

Saw Jenna means 'little bird', Aiden means 'fire', Clay (Ellershaw) means 'clay soil' & Morgan means 'bright sea'. So for no other reason am thinking it's Morgan=Water.

Technically, "jelly bean" was a key, as was "airlines", "american" and "Kerouac". (And "meta", but that was oog.)

Edit: Damnit. Everytime I do a bit of research before posting my idea someone beats me to it. Good thinking, Amandel! I agree! Smile

Haha, I was confident no one else was awake and I had all the time in the world.
These days people work so fast I tend to post stuff like "cypher keys" first and update the post after I did my research. (Which means I usually end up updating it to "nvm" when I realise I was on the wrong track altogether Wink )

Edit: I'm liking your thinking with Morgan, btw. You sent it in, ye?

Yeah, I was thinking the name meanings too, but then totally forgot all about it Smile I like the idea of Morgan being the Keeper of water. Hope it's right!
