Ok, Nancy is offline - and using my better judgement, I won't muddle up the board with our conversations.

In summary:

She thinks that there could possibly be something packed away in her mother's things, but she hasn't touched them since she died but will look for me when she gets back. I guess her mom has a lot of stuff.

She won't be back in Chicago until Monday - (but here is where I get confused) her and Matt plan on going camping again tonight...

... then she disappeared

More to come, hopefully...

Just a rather simple reply to my last message, at least clearing up that Robert isn't her father. I'm starting to wonder if the house will be broken into when she gets back:

Quote:
Wow this is really freaky. I guess I needed some action in my life anyways. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I don't even know any Roberts, except for the maintanence guy at work. That message sounds really twisted. I called my friend Claire yesterday and she didn't answer, so I'm starting to worry a bit. I'm going home tomorrow, so I'll see if I can find that paper for you guys.

Nancy

I think I posted that her DEAD MOTHER might have information and she would look when she got back home.

Sorry if you overlooked that piece...

ETA:
..oh I'm EDITING to add another thought - we might ask Nancy about her mom...

From Arius,
Quote:
MG,

Thank you, your labors will not go unnoticed. We have done what we could reguarding the ouija board. It is a very dangerous device. It could open doorways which could never be closed again. It still baffles me that such devices are still sold throughout the marketplace.

I sense some kind of serious activity involving the sons, that they are planning something sinister, although I am not clear on what it may be as of yet.

Arius



Quote:
We have made contact and befriended her. The problem, however, is that she has gone to visit someone out of state. I fear for her safety. She is determined to camp this weekend and use a ouija board to see what she can find out about a stalker she seems to have acquired. The Sons of Loki are on her trail.

Blessings Abound,
Mountain Girl

Sladius Update

Quote:
As most of you already know, Anna's body has been found. There is a rumor that her body was discovered in the same condition as that of Athena's.

I am not sure how true this is, but it has thrown nothing but more questions before me. Who could do such a thing? Why? What did she do to deserve this? I am beginning to think that maybe Caine was right, maybe there is a war brewing. Maybe our soul purpose in life is to die, and maybe the Great One takes satisfaction in our destruction.

I don't know what to believe anymore.

Myspace Bulletins:

Quote:
We recently received a strange message concerning the sons possibly, or perhaps someone else. It was sent to this area on my space, and was ciphered in numbers. Father Weston asked that I relay it on to you, to see if it may serve a purpose.

It read:

/7265766F6C7574696F6E6F72657874696E6374696F6E

I am not sure why this source chose to use a combination of letters and numbers, or why the "/" symbol was included, as there was nothing before it.

The body of Sister Anna has been found, near the grounds of Gatewood III. We shall miss her dearly.

She made us laugh, filled us with joy. She was very skilled in divination as well as candle making.

We shall have a ceremony for her this coming Friday for those who wish to attend. Classes in building III will be postponed until further notice.

May the Wolf guide you.

LUPEUS ETERNUS 1:16

The Great One felt the pain of man, his evil and deception and thoughts of power and chaos. The Great Wolf's hand fell from his body, and from it spawned another... (destroyed) ...only bearing absolute wickedness. He was The Chaotic One, and he knew only war, famine, hatred, and destruction, and he bestowed these things upon man tenfold.

Lupeus Eternus 1:17

The Chaotic One was tied up by Him, and then when he was bound, and could not run or walk or move, and a blade was placed through his jaws and this blade was like war, and destruction alike. He was then sent deep into the Earthe, and the Earthe covered him securely, for it was... [missing] ...soils of the Earthe that his hatred grew, his ravenous hunger for vengeance, his wishes to destroy the beauty in which the Great One had created.

The Chaotic One will one day be reawakened, and he will carve unto a tree his name, a name which should not be spoken, and it is in this tree and in this name that he lie waiting, his hatred grow... [missing] ...but for without it.

The Great One could not [influence] his creation anymore, for he became bound when His blood was bound.

One day, a Day of Cold, the moon shall draw itself very near to the Earthe, for it is the heart of the Wolf. It is during this time of great [rejoyce] that many who follow Him shall know of His presence.

Another day, a Day of Him, it will be decided by his very own children their fate, for even the Great One will not have control of this destiny, as it belongs to his children.

It shall be the decisions of these children of Him which decide what lies in the [conclusion] of time. (1)

CaineVIVIVI's Images

I enlarged and did some adjustments on Caine's images but it's going to take younger eyes than mine to fully understand what they say. Here are copies for those who do not have image software. Just click on each image to see a larger version.

Background Images on Caine's Site
Blog Page Images and Information

There are two background images on Caine's site.

The image from his blog page is composed with snips of text from Of Occult Philosophy or Magic ('de occulta philosophia') by Henry Cornelius Agrippa, of Nettesheim, Counseller to CHARLES the Fifth, EMPEROR of Germany.

Of Occult Philosophy, Book II (part 2)

Chap. xxiii. Of Geometrical Figures and Bodies, by what vertue they are powerful in Magick, and which are agreeable to each Element, and the Heaven.

Chap. liii.That no Divination without Astrology is perfect.

The Light'nings motion, and the veines which are
Fibrous, and warm, and motion of a fair
Plume wandring i'th aire, being taught -----


Chap. liv. Of Lottery, when, and whence the vertue of Divining is incident to it.

What's he far off grac'd with the Olive bough
Presenting offerings? how white chin we know,
A Roman King, whose laws first setled Rome,
And from small Curets a poor soyl [soil] shall come
To great command -----


Chap. lv. Of the soul of the World, and of the Celestials, according to the traditions of the Poets, and Philosophers.

*Of interest:

After Agrippa's death, rumors circulated about his having summoned demons. In the most famous of these, Agrippa, upon his deathbed, released a black dog which had been his familiar. This black dog resurfaced in various legends about Faustus, and in Goethe's version became the "schwarze Püdel" Mephistopheles.


I realize that Sylvia got her renderings of the images up before I did, but she comments that she cannot read them well.

I have some of the details enlarged and will add them for further observation.

Not sure where the woman/circle symbol is from, but here is a closer view

The Hand in the center is from Agrippa's book.

Image Details
Caine's Front Page Background Images

The background image on the main page of Caine's MySpace site is interesting as well.

There are numerous symbols, circles and pentagrams, etc. Behind them, it appears to be text from an engine manual of some sort.

[Meta] [Research] The Lost Colony

In reference to the continued use of croatkjaa and the chat between Hyexistenz and Sladius and this from the chat with Arius:
Quote:
AriusXI (10:22:35 PM): Let me tell you a story...
tipsila 1 (10:25:23 PM): are you sure that methalycene isn't spelled differently? perhaps methylysine?
AriusXI (10:26:42 PM): i am sure. Would you like to know how Gatewood came to be?
AriusXI (10:27:29 PM): In 1587, men, women, and children became one of the earliest attempts to colonize the new world - America. Their leader had a very sick mother overseas, and had to return to her. When he came back to the new world, his people had
AriusXI (10:28:16 PM): vanished. The leader, had dabbled into occult before, and read one of these pages aloud.
AriusXI (10:28:58 PM): Because it was read, it awoke the Chaotic, and helped even worse events transpire.
AriusXI (10:29:06 PM): If we do not get the pages,
AriusXI (10:29:39 PM): The dark one will not be so quick to leave no blood.
AriusXI (10:30:06 PM): The dark one left a message.
AriusXI (10:32:39 PM): the message was "croatkjaa", which is believed to be the dark one's name in english.
AriusXI (10:32:54 PM): when that name is found again,
AriusXI (10:33:08 PM): the last destruction will be at hand.
AriusXI (10:33:16 PM): it is much like your 666.

Here is some research:

THE LOST COLONY: Roanoke Island, NC
THE ELIZABETHAN GARDENS: Roanoke Island, NC
A FREEDMAN'S COLONY: Roanoke Island, NC
Roanoke Island: From Wikipedia

Also there is a RPG by White Wolf Productions called Croatan Song.
Quote:
The World Before the Wyrm Came
Three brothers: Uktena, Wendigo and Croatan. Three tribes that kept the Wyrm at bay, that kept the Pure Lands pure. Three tribes that guarded the Americas with their lives. But the Pure Lands were never truly peaceful - and ultimately, one of the three tribes was forced to sacrifice itself so that the other two could survive. This is the story of the Three Brothers, and the lands they guarded, in a time when the Pure Lands were still pure.

A Tribe's Last Stand
Croatan Song is the story of the werewolves of Native America and their territory before the coming of Columbus. In these pages, players will find the history of the Pure Lands, the tales of the human tribes there, the struggles and battles that were waged before the Wyrmcomers came, and the final sacrifice of the Croatan. The New World awaits.


Croatan Tribebook: Or What Is Known about the Croatan Werewolves by Bill Bridges.

The story by Stephen King "Storm of The Century," though not directly related, makes reference to Roanoke Island.

Storm of the Century: by Stephen King
Quote:
Analysis

Evidence throughout the film suggests that Andre Linoge is some sort of demon.

While retrieving items from his home later in the film, Michael Anderson spells out the name 'Linoge' and tells one of the villagers the Biblical account of Jesus casting a demon out of an afflicted man and into a herd of swine. He recounts that before the swine drown, Jesus asks the demon to identify itself and it answers "Our name is Legion, for we are many." While Anderson explains this, he re-arranges the name 'Linoge' to spell 'Legion'.

Linoge bears a strong resemblance to Randall Flagg, a dark, powerful character that appears in many of King's works (The Stand, The Dark Tower series, and Needful Things to name a few), further affirming he and Flagg are one and the same or that there are many of them. It might also be that both assume the role of "the ultimate evil" in Stephen King's realm of lore, all-knowing and everpresent no matter what the story entails.

At one point, the townspeople have a shared dream of the town found deserted with newscasters comparing it to the vanishing of the population of Roanoke Island. Addressing the residents, Linoge hints that he made the same offer to the people of Roanoke but they refused and thus paid the price, forced to commit mass suicide.

I'm sure this has only scratched the surface but that's it for me right now. If you have any knowledge or know of any resources we could utilize related to Croatan / Croatoan, Croatkjaa, Inadkkla, Ronoke Island, werewolves, etc. please share them. But then again it may not be about werewolves since Sladius says:
Quote:
Sladius: The local natives at the time knew of the Chaotic One, although I think they may have called him something else. Anyways, they didn't want these new people to bring forth this thing, and cursed all the settlers.

Hyexistenzz: wow. they must have been very powerful how did the curse manifest itself?

Sladius: It surrounded the entire area where they had settled, and many of the settlers either crossed into what is now Gatewood, or as some belive, became sacrifices to the Chaotic One. The latter may be just a story to scare children.

Hyexistenzz: you'll have to forgive my ignorance of your ways, but when you say crossed over, what do you mean? is gatewood in the united states? or is it on another plane of existence?

Sladius: it is still in the same place, but is existing parallel to what is currently there. We have a select few who are not cursed that act as couriers and can cross back and forth.

Seeing that we now have a Steven King movie and an RPG in the mix, I think it's safe to add what I found concerning a Marvel comic Wink


(Marvel Comics Presents#63/4)- Circa 1000 AD, the Viking settlements in Vinland (North America), were overrun with vampires led by Varnae. The last human prayed to Thor to come to their aid, before being taken by the undead. The thunder-god found the settlement decimated and half the population dead. The other half were vampires. Thor was then confronted by Varnae, who revealed his names and his aliases of Baal, Tsathoggua, and Croatoan. Thor and Varnae battled, locked in a stalemate. Thor finally opened a portal with Mjolner, letting sunlight through. Varnae fled the light, but his vampire minions were decimated.

Almost six centuries later the last Viking settler was revealed to have been responsible for ending the Roanoke Colony by turning its population into vampires.

[AIM] EleanorDare1587

I got a strange AIM form an EleanorDare1587 earlier today but I was away from my computer and missed it.

Quote:
EleanorDare1587 (12:24:50 PM): is anyone there?
EleanorDare1587 (12:25:03 PM): Please, I need your help......
Sylviaaaaaaaa (12:32:19 PM): hello
EleanorDare1587 is not available.


Then a little later

Quote:
Sylviaaaaaaaa (1:09:56 PM): hello, sorry that i missed you earlier
Sylviaaaaaaaa (1:10:10 PM): what's wrong how can i help
EleanorDare1587 (1:10:44 PM): there's no time right now, I fear I'm being watched
EleanorDare1587 (1:10:54 PM): I will be in contact later
Sylviaaaaaaaa (1:10:58 PM): ok
EleanorDare1587 signed off at 1:11:13 PM.


I believe the character is related to this game because of this:
http://www.coastalguide.com/packet/lostcolony-croatan.shtml
Quote:
The image is one of the most haunting in American folklore: Eleanor Dare cradling her infant daughter as they struggle through a vast wilderness, seemingly forgotten by her father who brought them to an unfamiliar land, then left them to fend for themselves.

In the four centuries since their disappearance, Eleanor and Virginia Dare have become true American heroines, players in an epic unsolved mystery that still challenges historians and archaeologists as one of America's oldest. In 1587, over 100 men, women and children journeyed from Britain to Roanoke Island on North Carolina's coast and established the first English settlement in America. Within three years, they had vanished with scarcely a trace. England's initial attempt at colonization of the New World was a disaster, and one of America's most enduing legends was born.


And with that here is some more research on The Lost Colony:

vampires and werewolves and ghost oh my

tipsila good observation but now I'm even more confused, are we dealing with vampires or werewolves or both or neither? Further down on the page that you found about Varnae is this:
Quote:
The story in Marvel Comics Presents#63/4 requires several explanations. First, Varnae mentions he was known as Baal in Babylonia. Baal was not worshipped in Babylon, but in Phonecia, modern day Israel/Palestine. The gods of both the Babylonians and Palestinians were considered pagan and evil by the Hebrews (readers of this entry would do well to disabuse themselves of the misconception that religious tolerance derives from Jewish tradition --Per Degaton), and Len Kaminski, the writer of the MCP story, probably confused the 2 groups. (A similar thing occurred in Citizen V and the V-Battalion: The Everlasting when Fabian Nicieza listed Aqhat as a Hebrew deity; Aqhat was worshipped by the Phoenicians, who lived in the same area as the Israelites, and whose myths are often grouped together in mythology books.)
Since the actual deities exist in the MU, Varnae's listing of both Baal and Tsathoggua probably means that he attempted to steal their worshippers away similar to the way the Heliopolitan (Egyptian) god Seth did with the worshippers of the Elder god Set.
The name Croatoan is not the name of a god, but the only clue to the disappearance of the Roanoke, Virgina colony in 1590. The colony was founded by Sir Walter Raleigh, in 1587, and consisted of 117 people. After a year, the settlement's leader, John White, left to get more supplies in England, but was unable to return until 1590, due to the Spanish war. When he returned to the colony he found it abandoned, although there was no sign of a struggle taking place. The word Croatoan was carved in one tree and the letters CRO on another tree. To this day the fate of the colonists is unknown, although people have speculated that they were killed by Indians, the Spanish, or joined a friendly Indian village nearby and became part of its population.
The name was seen again (or still) on a tree in Roanoke after the town was slaughtered by Logan as a test by Weapon X, as seen in Weapon X II#25--Snood.


And with that here is some research on Sir Walter Raleigh: Sir Walter Raleigh
Quote:
In 1587, Raleigh attempted a second expedition again establishing a settlement on Roanoke Island. This time, a more diversified group of settlers was sent, including some entire families, under the governance of John White. After a short while in America, White was recalled to England in order to find more supplies for the colony. He was unable to return the following year as planned, however, because the Queen had ordered that all vessels remain at port in case they were needed to fight the Spanish Armada. It was not until 1591 that the supply vessel arrived at the colony, 4 years later, only to find that all colonists had disappeared. The only clue to their fate was the word "CROATOAN" and letters "CRO" carved into separate tree trunks, suggesting that they were either massacred, absorbed or taken away by Croatoans or perhaps another native tribe. Other speculation includes their being swept away or lost at sea during the stormy weather of 1588 (credited with aiding in the defeat of the Spanish Armada). Whatever the reason, the settlement is now remembered as the "Lost Colony" [3] of Roanoke Island

Google has much on Sir Walter Raleigh but I will not go into anymore detail since Raleigh was not there when the Roanoke Island incident happened, I doubt he is as important here as perhaps Eleanor Dare is.

Here is some more research on Croatoan, John White, the father of Eleanor Dare and grandfather of Virginia Dare (the first baby born at the Roanoke Colony or for that matter the first English child born in the New World) and Ananias Dare, Eleanor's husband and Virginia's father.
