 		I got a mail from Athena too...slightly different:

Quote:
Father Enoch said I should start getting used to using the terminal, and said that you probably wouldn't mind if I wrote you a letter.

This is so exciting! I mean, talking to an outsider. What is is like out there, in the huge world surrounding us? My friend Isabell said that alot of girls out there have fun ALL the time! You get to buy pre-tailored clothes without someone measuring you? Is this true?

I hope we can type back and forth at some time, you know, like sequentially.

Oh my apologies, I didn't mean to call you outsider in a bad way. Enoch said we shouldn't use that word anymore. We use it alot around here, but in a good way, I assure you! All the girls here daydream about it all the time. You could imagine how tired we've become with these foolish men.

If you want to talk to me... Chat! If you want to do Chat with me sometime, I would be so delighted. I am so eager to meet more people out there. Pretty soon Father is letting me have my own diary on the computer! Sladius already got one. I'm going to try to find it. What I could do with his most intimate thoughts!!!!! Ha ha! Oh yes, here is my address: AthenaLoveXXXISPLATaol.com

Have a great day!

May the Wolf be your guiding light!

Athena

here is what i got so far:

You shall find him in _ _o_ia.

the last word i can't decide on right now, possibles are: Peoria, Tropia, Thoria or something else altogether

Therefore Enoch's says:

Quote:
A man, a doctor of sorts, holds a piece of what can free our people, and give power to all of mankind. He is an enthusiast of books, but the divination I performed leads me to believe he does not know what he has.


You shall find him in Peoria.

Please work quickly, our life is on the line

 		Hey Everyone
Just got home from work and had a chat with, well, I guess you could say a few people. Not sure whats going on, as I was away from the computer yesterday and am trying to catch up. I think I got some important info. Sorry, didn't really know what to ask.
Quote:

AthenaLoveXXXI: hello? is anyone there? Oh please be someone there!!!!

AthenaLoveXXXI: Please help me!
Teri1068: I am here
Teri1068: what can I do?
AthenaLoveXXXI: Listen I don't have much time... I saw some things I wasn't sopposed to see and I swore I wouldn't tell but that's not good enough for him! He's coming! Tell them not to belive him! Don't trust him! Trust only the one who will lead us safley to the wolf!
AthenaLoveXXXI: Hurry and tell everyone!
AthenaLoveXXXI: Please
AthenaLoveXXXI: I'm sorry if this is so abrupt
Teri1068: don't trust who?
AthenaLoveXXXI: hes coming
Teri1068: who can we trust?
AthenaLoveXXXI: jus tell everyone tha
Teri1068: ok
Teri1068: anything eles I can do?
Are you in danger?
AthenaLoveXXXI: playtime is over you two.
Teri1068: what does that mean?
AthenaLoveXXXI: Just know that she didn't suffer. So what was she telling you I wonder?
Teri1068: who are you??
Teri1068: what have you done to her?
AthenaLoveXXXI: I almost forgot how pleasurable the last dying gasps of such a pretty one can sound.
AthenaLoveXXXI: But look on the brightside,
Teri1068: why did you do that?
Teri1068: who are you?
AthenaLoveXXXI: Her blood will be a secrement unto the Wolf.
AthenaLoveXXXI: You will never find the first page.
Teri1068: don't be so sure of your self
AthenaLoveXXXI: Even though you have the answer to it's location right now.
Teri1068: I have lots of friends
AthenaLoveXXXI: Your friends cannot save you. Chaos will become of this world and the meaning of Gatewood and all of its teachings right out the window.
AthenaLoveXXXI: I bet she told you how I can be stopped?
Teri1068: Who are you?
Teri1068: if she did, I wouldn't tell you
AthenaLoveXXXI: Come now, why would I reveal myself....
AthenaLoveXXXI: I am right where I need to be, when you should have found Peoria by now.
AthenaLoveXXXI: Tick Tock Tick Tock my darlings
AthenaLoveXXXI: I can already feel the essence of her soul running through my veins.
Teri1068: time is running out for only you
AthenaLoveXXXI: We then, is that a challenge?
AthenaLoveXXXI: ll
Teri1068: yes, I believe it is
AthenaLoveXXXI: Then consider this. If you find the page before I can obtain it, then you have a chance of stopping me.
AthenaLoveXXXI: But on the other hand,
AthenaLoveXXXI: I am a sadist, a masochistic murdering bastered that has the benefit of pleasure in which to give me power.
Teri1068: whatever, I hope you rot in HELL
AthenaLoveXXXI: I am so dissapointed that she did not scream though.
Teri1068: maybe if you listen closely, you can hear her in your dreams you sick bastard
AthenaLoveXXXI: There are five to seek as you know, but it seems you have just discovered you are short on time.
AthenaLoveXXXI: All rituals have to consider what nights they are performed on.
AthenaLoveXXXI: Maybe it is time you and your friends start looking, I love such an adrenaline rush.
Teri1068: don't worry about us, we will find what we need to stop you
Teri1068: you can count on that
AthenaLoveXXXI: Oops, gotta go, I NEVER GET CAUGHT! hahahahahahahahahahahaha ..... another's blood will be ne
AthenaLoveXXXI: x
Teri1068: oh, you will be caught
Teri1068: xxxxx
Teri1068: sick bastard
AthenaLoveXXXI: Who is this???? OH GREAT ONE! WHAT HAPPENED!!!
Teri1068: who is this?
AthenaLoveXXXI: She's bleeding.... oh god, blood everywhere
Teri1068: who are you?
AthenaLoveXXXI: This is Arius, Sladius' brother.
AthenaLoveXXXI: There's no pulse
AthenaLoveXXXI: What should I do????
Teri1068: I am sorry, I believe she is dead
AthenaLoveXXXI: Oh good.... its all my fault.......
Teri1068: no, please don't blame yourself
Teri1068: it is not your fault
AthenaLoveXXXI: I tried to run after him but he...... he moved so quickly
Teri1068: tell us what we can do to help
Teri1068: do you know who it was?
AthenaLoveXXXI: I want to find whoever did this to my Athena and make them suffer a thousand DEATHS!!!! DAMN YOU YOU
AthenaLoveXXXI: I'm sorry..... why....
AthenaLoveXXXI: why her?
AthenaLoveXXXI: Can you tell me anything?
Teri1068: I have friends, we can help you
AthenaLoveXXXI: Oh thank you. You are Teri....
Teri1068: we will find the sick bastard that killed her and make him suffer
Teri1068: Yes I am Teri
AthenaLoveXXXI: Sladius' divine prophecy came to pass!
AthenaLoveXXXI: Enoch made you number one on his friend list, and we thought that maybe..... and why did.... oh my god...
AthenaLoveXXXI: I could have saved her....
Teri1068: what?
Teri1068: Please don't blame your self
AthenaLoveXXXI: I deserve to give myself the Great One right now..... I have destroyed a life...
Teri1068: no
Teri1068: NO
AthenaLoveXXXI: He would not even take ME after this
Teri1068: Please let us help you
Teri1068: we will do what is necessary
Teri1068: we need to find the first page
Teri1068: we can do this
AthenaLoveXXXI: You know the One Law, right?
Teri1068: I am a little unclear on it
AthenaLoveXXXI: I don't know if this is the time to tell you, as Enoch has a plan to further your education and help you learn your metaphisical abilities, but I loved her, and she's dead. I have to tell you SOMETHING... you need to know. Please don't tell Enoch about this early discovery, okay?
Teri1068: you can trust me
AthenaLoveXXXI: Okay. Gate wood is named so, because in order to enter one must open a gate in the great one's dwellings,
AthenaLoveXXXI: the woods.
AthenaLoveXXXI: Gatewood.
AthenaLoveXXXI: But the students were born here.... we cannot leave.
Teri1068: can outsiders come in?
AthenaLoveXXXI: Only through the psyche. An event happened a long time ago,
AthenaLoveXXXI: 2 sacrifices were made on the boundaries,
AthenaLoveXXXI: one of an animal,
AthenaLoveXXXI: one of a human.
AthenaLoveXXXI: A MOTHER.
AthenaLoveXXXI: She was killed by outsiders,
AthenaLoveXXXI: excuse me, those who do not live here (sorry)
Teri1068: it is ok
AthenaLoveXXXI: and those sacrements together brought forth a curse.
AthenaLoveXXXI: Human sacrifice is wrong for a very good reason, no matter how good or bad that person,
Teri1068: I agree
AthenaLoveXXXI: it is destroying what the Great Wolf created.
AthenaLoveXXXI: But here is where it gets worse...
AthenaLoveXXXI: A mother was killed, her blood onto a sacrifice,
AthenaLoveXXXI: A mother is a creator, a creator of The Great One, and it turns the whole rite into evil incarnate.
AthenaLoveXXXI: Even if it was just an offering,
AthenaLoveXXXI: it ended in chaos,
AthenaLoveXXXI: and her only son, who ran away from his home in New York, he loved his mother so, that he walked a very long journey,
AthenaLoveXXXI: and opened the seal.
Teri1068: the seal to what?
AthenaLoveXXXI: Now he is here to.
AthenaLoveXXXI: The Great Seal of Lupaeus.
AthenaLoveXXXI: The seal that opened when the five pages were prepared.
AthenaLoveXXXI: Here, I haven't much time, I want to find whoever is responsible. But here is some very valuble information about the five pages Enoch wants you to find...
Teri1068: I am listening
AthenaLoveXXXI: The Great text has existed almost since documenting events on paper like substance has,
AthenaLoveXXXI: and it is a book that reaveals all, teaches all about The Wolf.
AthenaLoveXXXI: Those five pages were to be done as rites,
AthenaLoveXXXI: by 5 very specific people.
AthenaLoveXXXI: I don't know enough about the pages, as I have only heard rumors, and what Enoch has told you,
Teri1068: do you know who the five are?
AthenaLoveXXXI: but each person has already performed the rites throughout history,
AthenaLoveXXXI: I don't know thier names,
AthenaLoveXXXI: but,
AthenaLoveXXXI: only the fifth page can be used to free us from the curse, our eternal cage,
AthenaLoveXXXI: Here's what I have heard about the first 4:
AthenaLoveXXXI: PLEASE don't tell Father I told you!
Teri1068: Don't worry I won't
Teri1068: you can trust me
AthenaLoveXXXI: Each are born by fate to serve a very evil deed,
AthenaLoveXXXI: Set forth by the great Wolf's eternal enemy,
AthenaLoveXXXI: I cannot spell his name with english letters,
AthenaLoveXXXI: but he has been misnamed many other things,
AthenaLoveXXXI: Such as Anubis, Cerberus....
AthenaLoveXXXI: An equivalent of the Christian Lucifer.
AthenaLoveXXXI: Does that make sense so far?
Teri1068: yes it does
AthenaLoveXXXI: Okay good...
AthenaLoveXXXI: The first shall be born of PURE EVIL.
AthenaLoveXXXI: The second shall be born of HATRED.
AthenaLoveXXXI: The third shall be born of SINISTER ARTS.
AthenaLoveXXXI: The fourth shall be born of DARK METHOD,
AthenaLoveXXXI: and the fifth is still very controversial,
AthenaLoveXXXI: some believe it has happened and we missed it,
AthenaLoveXXXI: others that it is to come.
Teri1068: what do you believe?
AthenaLoveXXXI: I believe that the fifth is either a great man like Enoch who will save us from our prison, or an evil one who will have the power to change destiny, bringing not only us, but the whole world to chaos,
AthenaLoveXXXI: and I don't mean war, I mean the total annhialation of humankind,
Teri1068: Let us hope that it si Enoch
AthenaLoveXXXI: or the total enslavement.
Teri1068: that would be horrible
AthenaLoveXXXI: So I imagine you have a better understanding of why we need your help so much?
Teri1068: yes, I do
AthenaLoveXXXI: I know this also:
Teri1068: and I am ready and willing to help
AthenaLoveXXXI: That once you find the first page, it is supposed to be written upon it the keeper of the next, but here is the exciting part,
AthenaLoveXXXI: The Text foretold that a group of Warriors of Wisdom shall bind with the one who wishes peace to humanity.
AthenaLoveXXXI: You Teri, you are one of those warriors. I am forever in debt to you should you and your friends succeed.
Teri1068: We will succeed
AthenaLoveXXXI: I feel a love for you as I do the person who told me that I may live after believing for so long I would not.
Teri1068: you will live
AthenaLoveXXXI: I shall cast you a rite of protection and divination right now.
Teri1068: Thank you
AthenaLoveXXXI: This will keep you safe, banish evil, and allow you to see things that will help you find the pages.
AthenaLoveXXXI: Only you and your friends will be able to see them, so such images may pop up anywhere.
Teri1068: we will look for them
AthenaLoveXXXI: You have just learned your first technique.
AthenaLoveXXXI: Go forth, as I must to now, as I have a hunter to hunt down.
AthenaLoveXXXI: to = "go" sorry
Teri1068: Please be careful
AthenaLoveXXXI: May The Wolf Guide You.
Teri1068: We will help you in whatever way we can
Teri1068: and You as well
AthenaLoveXXXI signed off at 6:54 PM



Somebody, help me make sense of this.

 		Sorry, I'm running a bit behind what with the holidays and all but here is what I got from Enoch yesterday before he sent the "unlock a door" puzzle.

Quote:
Nov 23 2006 11:56 AM

Subject: A Thousand Dreams.

The path in which the Great One walks
Is sealed by a thousand locks.
A thousand wishes, A thousand dreams,
Oh so it seems we'll be set free.
________________________________
Into eternal night he Gazes,
Searching for the missing Pages.
One day our sentence shall be Repealed
And then our secrets are Revealed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Into the night we wander in,
the hours pass on soon wearing thin
Preparing for what seems the right thing to do,
These feeling so new to this place we move to.

Father Enoch

Looks like you were correct with Peoria, Sylvia. From the chat that Teri just had:
Quote:
AthenaLoveXXXI: I am right where I need to be, when you should have found Peoria by now.


Unless he was toying with us


ETA:
There is a country radio staion in Peoria called "The Wolf"

 		thanks again tipsila. therefore Enoch says, or i hope it's right this time:

Back to the "unlock a door" puzzle:

I hope you don't mind Soulsproximity1 but I saved your image to my flickr account and going to display it here.


.

The Latin comes from the Latin Vulgate Bible, Psalm 71
Quote:
Psalm 71:9 Coram illo procident Aethiopes et inimici eius terram lingent


The English equivalent to that is: Psalm 71 (New International Version)
Quote:
Psalm 71:9 Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.

However, I don't know if that is correct since I don't know crap about Latin.

LOL, I was about to start yet another substitution cipher on that first line, wondering what word the ISSI pattern could possibly match, and then I read the line backwards.

(still working on the second line)


The second line (vmplif vonsarg molap) is in Enochian. It reads: "strength unto men"

Additionally, the text at the bottom of Enoch's blog on 31 Oct is: molap noan vonph faonts aqlo dosig which translates to "men become wrath dwelling in night"

 		From Enoch's blog entry "Attention All Fathers Of Gatewood" 23 Nov
The invocation for the candle ceremony (roughly translated)

The Invocation:
Praise Him!

"I am DIVINE KNOWLEDGE! I am The Creator, God, the just one! Follower Darkness, Unto Night."

Praise Him, Praise Him!

Their Names Amongst The Creator.

Close the Seal, Give Thanks to the Wolf.
