 		Majorly cool. Chloe was Chloe Isabella Newton wasn't she? I had a feeling it was her out of the three of them. She was the only silent one - had chats with both Genia and Stuart. Also Genia said something about Chloe having designed the wolf logo on the Bleidd Healing website, which was suspicious.

Chloe's email: chloe.i.newton15SPLATgmail.com

So the 'virus' was a monitoring device, which in all likelihood means Stuart is being monitored too.

Tommy's blood means that the second gate is on Pen y Fan. There is also a third which we don't know the location of yet except that its in southern Scotland or north-east England.

 		Apologies for the double post, but I performed the ritual today. I made a video of it here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcweYgBXjWg

I've sent the 'proof' to Jayden A. Doyle.

I'm now a werewolf...yay!

EDIT:

I'm in.

There is another post on the London Gate:

Quote:
22/9/2010

The Avalon sunset will not have us question the realms we join.
The painter and bard created the gate, the renewal sacrifice is at this time of balance.
Who will join us as he who holds the scales with a feather pours the blood?

I need not remind us all to be aware of the foci required and the protections to be reinforced.

The silver poplar seeks to penetrate the roots of the cairn - this will NOT happen.

JAD


EDIT 2:

On the location of the meeting in London, I found this:

Quote:
You'd need rather more to buy Old Wyldes - more than £2m more. The leasehold asking price is £2,750,000. But it is a Grade II-listed farmhouse overlooking Hampstead Heath and set in two-thirds of an acre. It dates back, in parts, to 1593 when Shakespeare was wielding his quill in what was then distant London. Dickens apparently came here to finish writing Oliver Twist.

Blake stayed as a guest of the painter John Linnell, according to a blue plaque attached to white weatherboarding of the sort more commonly found in Norfolk than north London.


Is this the 'exactitude' where Blake and Linnell talked - in Linnell's house?

 		Curious dates
Checking out the http://bleiddhealing.yolasite.com booking form, Wednesdays are not worked and thursdays are late start mornings:
Chloe does crystal healing 11-5
Cloe and Genia do Tarot
Genia does Tarot 9-4.30
Chole and Stuart do Runes
Stuart does Fridays only 10-5.30
There are no dates beyond the 12th of October for any of them. Something big happening 15 days after the 22 Sep perhaps?

Also, updates on the Oroborot board:

We welcome one into our ranks - may I ask that we watch out for her, as I'm sure, when she able, she will do for us.

Welcome, Tate.

More may come, though their requests have not been fully met - A simple act of dedication, not followed through. Alas, their loss. Our numbers are still ever growing, thanks to our outreach projects.

For now though, we will ensure that we do not reach beyond our prescribed limits and provide only the riches to those that feast upon our servitude.

We welcome another, one who has performed the shifting.
Whether his blood is pure enough to withstand the change, only time will tell.

For now, welcome brother.


Jayden is keeping quiet about the location so far:

Where we meet will be confirmed nearer the time.
This is, with all due respect, undertaken to promote security within our membership and allows for one so new to learn patience.
Your balance will therefore show itself fully, not just in art, but in deed.

 		I'm curious about JAD's first welcome...he refers to 'she' and yet Tate is male isn't he?

Quote:

And a new tweet from O:

Quote:
Ten days. Counting. A rhyme unsolved. Groups incomplete. People unprepared and uppermost-ly, the sun will set in London a little bloodier...


EDIT: Thinking that 'Jayden A Doyle' is an odd name, I fed it through an anagram solver...came back as 'A Lady Enjoyed'. Laughing

However, Jayden is a variant of 'Jadon', a character from the Bible who is charged with repairing gates here:

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Nehemiah%203&version=NIV

Translated from Hebrew, the name means 'Jehovah has heard'.

 		Tate is me Very Happy
My welcome notice is as follows:
Quote:
My dear 'Tate' - or should I address you as Sarah?

Welcome to our ranks -you will find that, at current, you are unable to make posts on our boards. This is not an oversight on our part, but merely a precaution to ensure that only those who have served with us for a while have that privilege.
Do not underestimate the power this invite has alone though - you are now on the path to understanding more about humanity than you may have ever wanted to know. From knowledge though...

Rest assured, your wolf image portrayed more than your words could - and was what drew us to you as well. The balance of colour appealed, though, if you accept criticism, I would have preferred more shadow.

We have much in common, and indeed, should you wish to develop your inner senses more, the full moon's eve will serve as an opportunity to discover that this realm of existence is just one of many.

I get ahead of myself - the apologies are for not contacting you sooner. I had matters to deal with elsewhere and so my deepest regret in confirming your acceptance impersonally.

For now, find yourself a copper knife and calculate your distance to Northern London. Northampton isn't that far, but your location may not be accurately portrayed by your web presence...

My regards to all you call kin.

Jayden.


I never mentioned my name in anything to do with these guys, so when he addressed me as such and used my rough location I got a good wibble out of it (OOG despite the fact I know the Ref knows who I am Very Happy)
So, copper knife in hand, white feather on the desk and yesterday I wander round town desiring a bloody steak and looking at people as if they were prey. Think I need to get out more.

 		Yup! Not that I'm paranoid or anything. Just makes it interesting.
Good find on the bible thing, it's probably relevant Very Happy

EDIT: Mooching on the bleiddhealing site, I noticed Stuarts logo is a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfsangel with information on
Quote:
Wolf Trap
It is likely that the Wolfsangel was originally a hunting or rather trapping tool used to capture wolves[3]. There are two parts to a Wolfsangel; the first part is the anchor and can be seen in the Arms of the von Stein family, the anchor was used to attach the trap to a tree; the other part is the hook which is the traditional "Z" shaped symbol, it was suspended from the anchor by a long chain, on to which meat was placed for the wolf to eat and capture itself on the sharp hook[4].

I have not spoken with Stuart but I am concerned that he will be instrumental in bringing down the werewolves? Perhaps it is just me reading too far down the page.

EDIT 2: Mooching (again) on the Linking site, Jayden recomends Chloe
Quote:
Healing and reading
Chloe has great insight - though her choice of people around her is always greatly appreciated as well - all serve the greater picture. September 3, 2010
Top qualities: Expert, High Integrity, Creative
Jayden A. hired Chloe I in 2005, and hired him/her more than once

 		Ah...now the penny drops...your nickname being 'theclaw'.

Anyway, I heard from Aspen today...

Quote:
Ah, William Stukeley raises his head once more. Well his claim that it was sacred is utter tosh, and the Oborot would know that.
Linnell's house may well be a meeting point, but not a place for cderemony - it is privately owned I believe [while not a problem for the amassed through nefarious means Oborot, even they respect heritage and lineages].
The reason I know so much about that place? It was where *I* intended to leave instructions for any who wish to prevent the Oborot from their ritual to gather.

Perhaps you misread my words for theirs - I shudder if this is the case - you must keep their black and our white separate - do not confuse the issues Sir.
Now - as for where they will meet... the cairn - the only place I could think of would be the dolmen - I will re-investigate further - I cannot be there that night myself - I have to enforce something for Orpheus - something he can only ask of me due to my hands already being tainted in other messes.

I'm rambling, please forgive an old man.
I will contact you nearer the time.


Stukeley was involved with the excavation of Stonehenge and was a druid and freemason. He (incorrectly) believed that Stonehenge was a sacred Druidic site.

A dolmen is a megalithic tomb...there are several listed in Wales, Devon & Cornwal, one of which is Maen y Bardd in Conwy.

The meaning of this is 'The Bard's Stone' or 'The Poet's Stone' - and is believed to be the remains of a 'portal' dolmen.

 		Hmm, the Megalith portal has a KMZ file to input to Google Earth/maps to provide an overlay of all the interesting old henges and whatnots, including over London. Can't see anything blatent at Primrose Hill bar the pentagram of paths (!) whilst Parliament Hill has Hampstead Heath Barrow and there's a Holy Well or Sacred Spring nearbyish. Don't know if this might be a useful avenue of study.

 		(Just a small off-topic note, since at the time I dropped off the face of the alternate world our player base was pretty small and close: Sorry I've been so absent, folks...life stuff and my general mindset have kept me from being in a good place to ARG for a while, and I'm not sure if it is going to change too much anytime soon. I'll do what I can when I can...if that is anything. Sorry to have dropped out of our little community Sad.)

 		Good to see you back, Dreamer. Real life does that.... I should be doing homework, housework, repairing stuff... uh, sleeping.....
I've just read through the thread trying to see if there's something I've missed, but it's kinda been a bit quiet over the past few days.
So... I'm not sure which Rhyme O is refering to in his
Quote:

Tweet.
If it's about solving the location for the meets.... then there seem to be at least three possibilities: Primrose Hill, Parliament Hill, or Bunhill Fields. If not, then I am confused, and having a bout of insomnia Sad

 		I will be, and I'm equally non-keen on wandering about on Hampster Teeth alone. Besides, I've been to live events on this ARG before and they can be atmospheric to say the least! Do you fancy meeting up and venturing forth together?

 		Sounds like a good idea, I was wondering about heading over early though, to check the site out and make sure I'd found the right place though.
Would that be doable?
