the latest email clue "THE TARAMASALATA" and the "a" in "way" being a dead link. led us to think every other letter.

it was "THE TARAMASALATA" not "TARAMASALATA" so i thought every other word starting with the second word as well...

so taking the numbers from plato.htm
63217 42106 55333 42731 64839 91952 66712 454 09716 241 33121 571 12012 650 61033 649 67152 41894 64872 12431 45897 61452 32323 61981 77823 544

and taking every other digit from every other group, starting with the 2nd group, gives
20 23 15 5 4 7 5 4 19 23 15 18 4

which translates to twoedgedsword. our next page http://www.greywethers.net/twoedgedsword.htm

funny thing was I had it solved yesterday but didnt realize it. I decoded the first 5 letters to "twoed" then stopped because couldnt think of any words that started with "twoed". DOH!!!

 		i gotta say, danman finding 31416 (i.e. Pi) as every other digit was either the weirdest coincidence or a super red herring Very Happy

Good JOB GB!!!
Cool Cool Cool

Only prob now is there is suppost to be a link on this page somewhere in an area off the picture, and it supposedly goes somewhere we have already been! Shocked Twisted Evil

***EDIT****
SPECULATION TIME

Sam said he had some problems with the server, a weird virus or something. Wonder if the DEGs are getting into the guide act?

 		The agrippa2 link is a common finding on these pages. I'll spec that it's a remnant of the page being created from a previous one that had that as part of the template.

Those letters on the sword look upside down, at first glance.

 		The letters on the sword are in the enochian alphabet (thanks to monkeypants for finding that), and they translate to:

The Power Of Faith


The background image is from Aleister Crowley's The Vision and the Voice (thanks to danman_d for that).

 		Could some one help me? I found references on another post to a search I was doing for the latest puzzle. I can't figure out how to quote it here so I'll just post the link to it.

It has to do with the power of faith/Alaistair Crowley connection.

 		The alphabet in the background is Dagger Alphabet or Dagger Script. I don't have time to translate until later today, so here's the link:

we discussed this in chat but i guess nobody posted. you are right, the background is dagger script and it's simply A to Z then Z to A (upside down) the next row and so on...

for example, the first 20 came from the second group "42106" after taking out every other digit (i.e. taking out 4,1,6)

From enaxor on CD:
enaxor wrote:
The daggers alphabet in the background is a repeat of the alphabet A-Z forwards and backwards, except in the row at the bottom of the sword. In that row it is a repeat of "PORTAE" which means gate, entrance, or portal in latin. Still have no idea where it is suppose to lead to though.


Found by Nimue36 on CD:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
greywethers.net/portae.htm
says to send an email


So the new page is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.greywethers.net/portae.htm


And the text reads:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
e-mail whitehouseSPLATgreywethers.net
with "portae" in the subject line
for entry to Sainte Beregonne


And onward we go...
