Hey there, Ursulla... You have been doing quite a lot of research between a sleep and a sleep! You have given me a few things to chew on, so please do not take my silence on the other posts as ignoring you... like TP, I need some time to process it!

Links for all 4 books in the series can be found on this page as well
http://www.esotericarchives.com/agrippa/

Speaking of which (whom?) ... one of the keywords set off a response that includes mention of Book 3 chapter xvi...
http://www.esotericarchives.com/agrippa/agrippa3.htm#chap16



But let me go back to book 4...

OH, LOOK!!!
About half way down the page is a list for the appearance of spirits, and look some more, please, the symbols and names are some of the ones mentioned over and over again!

Saturn Jupiter, Mars, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera

But notice under The Sun (circle with a dot in the center)
what is this I see as the last two appearances the sun could have?
A Scepter.
Caudatus.


Hmm....
I like this page Ursulla.

**EDIT**
I started following the links from the page Ursulla found and came across this one
http://www.esotericarchives.com/solomon/almadel.htm
The figure referenced can be found here http://www.esotericarchives.com/gifs/almadel.gif

Salomons Almadel Art

about half way down the page is a figure (third one I think) that has

Exclamation The Four Compass Points Reversed Exclamation

Similar to the noted reversal of the compass on the SOD house blueprint page Exclamation

 		No, I don't think you or anyone is ignoring my posts. I was childish, had a bad day, and still, those are no excuses. Again sorry to everyone. I am wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over that. No one has to worry about me acting like a baby anymore. Promise Very Happy

I was going thru the rest of the pages earlier too. Didn't get that far. The esoteric site has a lot of pretty interesting info. I like the reverse compass one and the Scepter and/or the Caudatus.

I'm searching for the meaning of Caudatus. There are so many. There are flowers, plants, organisms, and even some weird half jackel, half tiger thingy. I'm searching for something that would be almost like the Caduceus. I keep remembering Dale's description of the wand.
**EDIT (and I took out two lines-http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1169&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
[22:37] synthasiadale: Next to it was a staff or stick of some sort about eight inches long
[22:38] synthasiadale: At each end was a stone of some type and entwined around it were vines or leaves I think The Caudatus could be the name of it. I don't know. Still searching......

That seals it for me, the Caduceus is what were looking for. The "vines" are snakes, and often there are stones or knobs at the ends of the staff.

As we look for potential locations, here's some spec...

The blueprint at SOD is of a location we know (don't know which yet). If you overlay a grid on top of the blueprint and use the numbers from the GW html (10+4, etc.) you can follow it like th old pirate maps (10 paces south, 4 paces west). Once all is said and done, you'll have the exact location of the Caduceus. Just rember that the directions are inverted.

So what is the building in the blueprint, and what size grid should we use?
