 		Ha! Snail Mail. Brilliant.

Suppose we wait for the package?

 		Well it seems as though one has already arrived. It seems that the last couple of clues have came after the answers.

I wouldn't bet on use getting anything though Destilled, not much use in sending a key to a different country i guess.

It seems like a pretty safe bet that it's some kind of reference to snail mail. Maybe you're getting something in the post?


I send her my address.. So I think that too (Snail Mail = postal delivery)

 		Nah, you're right Knarf. No love for the Brits.

I thought the key was part of the original package, I didn't realise it was a new one. I'll have to take a closer look.

Distilled was right about the "The Tree of Life", but in Norse Mythology Yggdrasil only has nine worlds.


these nine worlds can be ordered to form a continuum, with Niflheimr in the extreme north and Muspellheimr in the extreme south. The other seven form gradations in between, with the human homeworld in the center. The following nomenclature refers to the Old Norse names for the families of beings.

South
1. Múspellsheimr: World of Muspell (fire, in the south)
2. Álfheimr: World of the Ljósálfr ('light elf')
3. Vanaheimr: World of the Vanir
4. Goðheimr: World of the Æsir which contains Ásgarðr (Asgard)
5. Manheimr: World of the Maðr ('human')
6. Jǫtunheimr: World of the Jǫtunn ('giant')
7. Svartálfaheimr: World of the Svartálfar ('dark elves', aka Dvergar 'dwarves')
8. Helheimr: World of Hel (the realm of the dead)
9. Niflheimr: World of Nifl (arctic 'mist' and ice, in the north)
North

i have tried clicking the spheres on the ragna-rok website in this order, but nothing happened...

Could this key be a hint or something to the cipher you received in the original package? Sort of a literal key for a virtual cipher. Below is the transcription Catherwood posted.

Well if this key isn't to be used physically, (which, by the way is for a masterlock padlock (or a similar styled)) consider the fact that each of the cut parts can be numbered by their depth. I'll take a look as see if there is a guide for that specific key on this.

-edit- http://www.masterlock.com/pdfs/7000-0031_Technical_Manual_7_10_pg_25.pdf here are the specs on key depth relating to their numbering system. the key listed is the k1 aka 1k. Probably not where they were going with this and more likely a dead drop.

Clicking on the apple now leads to http://ragna-rok.net/ragnarok.html.

The video has --
1) A tree that is very similar to the Yggdrasil tree
2) A close up on a pool of water that has ripples from water droplets/rain falling into it
3) A thunderstorm with animated lightning
4) A volcano? I'm not exactly sure, but it looks like an orange-ish mountain with two animated steam puffs coming out of it.
5) A wolf that howls
6) And some crackling fire

Then it switches to an image of a crow, a golden spiral (in the background)

Is it may be possible to order them after the pictures in the video?

Golden apple =

Tree, Yggdrasil =
Water, Rain =
Thunderstorm, Lightning =
Vulcan =
Wolf =
Fire = Múspellsheimr
Raven (death) = Helheimr

Fibonacci spiral =

 		So I've started going through the hexidecimal code deal using the runic code. Now the first word that come up is:

brotesvttvttflkior

According to google translate it is swedish. Which would make sense. But Google translate is giving me no love right now and letting me know what is means in english. I'll keep plugging away but I hope someone speaks swedish is google doesn't.

 		Did anyone get this cipher via snail mail? If you did I was wondering, what if you took the original Odin image (the one with the "mystery pixels") and cut out the pixels? Then maybe you could lay the picture over the cipher and get something out of it. Just an idea, but I would think you would need the original cipher in order to get the sizing right. I might be wrong about that.

Just a thought.

Comic Clue
Siygn sent me an email saying that Loki found a way to hide a clue in one of the videos from "some comic company."
Time to check the Big House videos.

 		Possible clues from LOKI?

In the second trailer there are also two pictures at 1:08 which I found suspicious.


I suspect that the rainbow should be a reference to Bifröst. (Wikipedia: In Norse mythology, Bifröst or Bilröst is a burning rainbow bridge that reaches between Midgard, the world, and Asgard, the realm of the gods.)


I found out that this is a picture of a matchbox which comes from a factory at Unddevalla Sweeden. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/paintedfishstudio/2522862783/).
There is also some information about the history of that factory it was build in 1874 and closed 1938. The text about it is in German (http://www.zuendholzschachteln.de/sw112g.htm). Let me know if somebody need a translation but I think I'm digging to deep into this.


Also, found other photos in the video.
Please follow the link to see them.
