So, little update according to what I think of it...

Obviously, James' symbol is wrong. Even if it was just because it was white on black, instead of black on white.

There's another picture of Elisabeth, on top of a villa (dalt Villa, probably), as dusk, and it's located on her blog here:
http://www.laislablanca.com/20080502/Meet-and-greet.aspx

That might take on be the observation deck she's talking about? But the Ibiza harbor isn't really isolated from the rest of the island, so that doesn't really make sense.

The ritual is most likely the Ball Pages ritual. Either that, or the closing festivals of the clubbing season (which would be around this time, right?).

Who is Alfredo, by the way? Am I forgetting about someone?

And there were others before us, trying to collect the symbols and save Ibiza? ;S!!

I've got a feeling we're nearing the end, but there are still too much questions. @__@

I was thinking that its looking at the same body of water to me the other night... the shape of the water seems to match to me.

Doesn't help w/ the symbol though... maybe we can ask an IG character to go look for the symbol?

Beyond that, I don't know that we've met him yet.

Maybe this is the picture? It would be the view from one of those decks, if you face south (I guess). It is a bit 'isolated' because it is some nature field isolated by the city of Ibiza.

It also looks a bit like the distortion symbol. Also taken at dusk, probably from one of those decks (atop dalt Villa again)...



I mailed Elisabeth, asking if that was what she was looking for...

Oh well, have fun guys. I'm off to the bowling alley. : )

Ohh good thought! I'll email Elisabeth back letting her know you sent it to her and ask for some clarification...

If the passage way is the one I thought with the cathedral being the wall on the left it would take you to the observation deck as Elizabeth calls it.

The picture MK shows above is likely the view but it looks different than I remeber as if you were standing where the car in the pic the path is quite steep and very rocky.

Also Dj Alfredo is likely this guy http://www.ultradj.co.uk/exclusive.aspx?id=1027 who looks to have been at the island since 1976 so looks as if James is like the Trinket man and older than he looks ie Elizabeth says "that the last people who tried this got them wrong, and it was James' fault"atlantis?

Of I dont have a pic from the observation deck/ However here is one down on the road looking up at it.

There still quite a bit of road if you want to cal it that but its more of a dirt path. I'll upload more pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/55092951@N00/ due to the size of them

Hmm...

Perl, in an email wrote:
Dear Jimmy

I think this is the right symbol, too. Many people have sent it to me. It
doesn't look like anything on the SVM, but my understanding is that Antonio
Perleamo left a secret symbol on the island as a piece of land art, after
the first ritual failed. I think this must be it.

Perleamo. My grandfather, he was here on this island at that time. And our
names ... I can't help but wonder.

More important things to do now, tho.

We're going to make a secret ritual tonight with each of the symbols
painted on banners, and hang them high by the moonlight. I hope this will
work!

exx


Didn't I say that Perleamo could be Elisabeth's grandfather a few months ago? :')

I'm sure the ritual is going to look lovely. All kinds of banners with weird symbols... hehe.

We'll see what happens next...

Received the same e-mail, but with two differences.

Look here:


Dear Marc

I think this is the right symbol. Many people have sent it to me as an
image, but you were the first. It doesn't look like anything on the SVM,
but my understanding is that Antonio Perleamo left a secret symbol on the
island as a piece of land art, after the first ritual failed. I think this
must be it.

Perleamo. My grandfather, he was here on this island at that time. And our
names ... I can't help but wonder.

work! If it does, I'll get back in touch and let you know!
exx


Maybe iīm lucky and get a prize for been the first who emailed her that. Laughing

Concerning the ritual i am very anxious, what will happen TONIGHT.

I think it is described exactly in Perleamos "automatic writing":


End of summer is the time.
Paint them bright and hang from sticks of pine.
The rest around, but with Tanit's Isle the first and greatest of them align.
The protector will lead the dance.
There must be energy within.
There must be music and song.
Pass the bottle and I will dance a Ball Pages that will last 500 years!


We will see... Razz
