 		Lots of correspondence today:

Quote:
Me: A friend of mine directed me to your blog.

I feel that you and I are going through similar things. I'm constantly worried about everything, no matter how ridiculous my worries are.
I don't know what else to do and I need your help.
You said that you found the Merveilleux's website, about how they can help control emotions.
I feel like I must speak with Jim. Where can I contact him?
I need to know more about the Merveilleux.


Quote:
Joachim: Unfortunately, as you are 2 steps below Jim, you can't contact him. I can tell you everything I know, though. I'm having a real rough day today, but I'm still really glad to help you. Any questions you have, let me know.


Quote:
Me:My primary question right now is ... What are the Merveilleux's methods of helping people? Are they homeopathic? Ritualistic? It's a support group, right? How can I know if their methods are safe?

I'm two steps below? Could you tell me what the system of steps is? How do I ascend?


Quote:
Joachim:Well, technically you're not two steps below yet, but that should change soon and he's readying himself to cut off contact from Nons.

We use some hypnosis, and a lot of ritual. I guess it would make some Christians uneasy, but what fraternity doesn't? We would never tell you who or what to believe in.


Quote:
Me:What is Nons, and why is Jim cutting off contact with them?


Quote:
Joachim: Those who are not yet initiated- below first degree.


I asked him if the initiation is the party he was talking about.

Quote:
Joachim: It depends on whose point of view you're taking. For Jim, it's a business meeting. For everyone else attending, all the third degrees, it's a ceremony. For me, I do not yet know.


I also contacted the querent about my broken mirror and received this:
Quote:
Querent: Sigh! Such melancholy cannot be healthy.


And I received images that are already posted.

"She must not always..."

 		I recognise that as having to do with a tarot card.


EDIT: I believe it is the Justice card. It is in the Major Arcana.

Have you ever wondered what stories are held in the dirt of a graveyard?
Take the chariot. Tell us of it afterwards.

Well done! Bluddie bluddie....it's 1.30am here in England...I've told the Querent I think the top one is the chariot (because she looks in a hurry) the second, it's Temperance, next in the tarot sequence, then death, and a star of hope follows from that...boooooooo
Yeah, go on, point and laugh at the annoying noob...hahaha
I'm too tired, and may have gone and trouted myself again then...I'm on a go slow and learn tomorrow - nothing like jumping in the deep end before you've learnt to swim! LOL

I DO think that it's to do with magic though, the way that Joachim is being tamed down, and using diving (you can use mirrors for scrying, and to meditate with)...bet the Querent will be scratching his head when he gets my reply to his mail...(ahem). G'night, peeps...

 		I first received the picture of the girl with the question mark eyes a few days ago and have been emailing the Querent when I've had the chance.

So initially the question was, what do they do when the masks are off?

To which i responded: Hide?

Quote:
Q: Without their masks, they have nothing to hide behind, though


Quote:
M: There's several ways to hide.
Maybe they run?


Quote:
Q: An interesting thought, but when their own truths are criminal in their minds, will truth or ego endure?


Quote:
M: It would depend on what sort of person they are. Struggling between both could drive a person mad. Unless it's not purely an individual
struggle. In which case some might find themselves forced down a path
not of their choosing.


Quote:
Q: Is anything ever really left to the individual to decide?


Quote:
M: You have a point there. No, Rarely.


I received the 3 photos this morning aswell, but haven't responded to them yet.

 		I sent this to thequerent:

Quote:
I see. But, my philosophies about what? There are many subjects to choose from.

And who is "we"?


And got:
Quote:
We are fate. Who is "you"?


I also got the email with the three pics.

 		Quick update from here... these were emails I have had with Joaquim... maybe I should try and find someone on the west coast that is goin to the party??

Quote:
Me: Just stumbled across this and I am intrigued... I am really looking forward to hear about being an initiate!

J:Are you! Great! Where do you live, if you live near Detroit we could probably hang out and get stuff sorted out.

Me:I would dig that... unfortunately, I'm on the west coast... but I'm looking forward to hearing how it's going!

J:Well, Jim said he'd helped some people online, and maybe I can get you in touch with someone on the west coast. I'm still glad to help you, though.

Me:Cool Thanks! Is it still working well for you? I'm looking fwd to hearing
about the party... you really should go! Just breathe and it will all be
good!


And recieved yesterday from Joachim:

Quote:
J:How can I breathe when they're poisoning our air?


Havent replied yet and got the three pics from Q as well.

 		I think Athena got an email from Joachim mentioning the name Margaret. I'll go bug her to post it.

 		New Querent video...

"The End of Death One"


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14ksQQ2pUjI&feature=sub


Justice, The Chariot, Death, The Hanged Man. That's four cards. Where's the fifth?


In the process of going through this frame by frame now.

 		Me:
Quote:
I'm very interested in joining the Merveillux. Any of the attached interest you? Can you tell me if they're afraid of losing their souls?

With regards,
Athena


(Sent with a picture of a monarch butterfly and the Death Tarot card, since there was the notion floating around about butterflies dying out, and I thought I'd try that connection.)

Joachim:

Quote:
I don't know if I even have a soul anymore. I feel like I'm cracking. Who knows how they feel, Jim only ever seems happy. Same for Margaret. All smiles.


Me:
Quote:
Who is Margaret? Is she one of the Merveillux -- part of the family? Is she the one with no reflection in the mirror? They say these things do tend to run in the family.



Joachim:
Quote:
No reflection? What?
She's a part, I guess. She works with kids, though. On my blog, she's the woman in the red dress I saw. She's a real nice lady. She talks to me and doesn't think I'm strange or anything.



~~~~~~~

Me:

Quote:
You are a questioner but you also must have many answers, because you lead those around you to question. You ask where this person is, you ask us to join, but I wonder what you can tell me about what you know of the world? I wonder what you know about the others who surround you.

With regards,
Athena.



The Querent:

Quote:
I know that I have two near me, and I know that we see much but because of them, we no longer see all.


Also from the Querent I received the three pictures that Caseys_mom received.

Hope this helps.. having a busy weekend, but will try to send off and find out more soon..
