 		Great team work you guys! I'd have never thought of angelfire.com. So whoever this person is, he's warning Tom to stay away from the Grace's. I wonder if Tom noticed "black rings" on Emmets hand.

 		Interesting quotes from the sight:

Quote:
According to Epilepsy.com, temporal lobe epilepsy can be explained this way:

The features of seizures beginning in the temporal lobe can be extremely varied, but certain patterns are common. There may be a mixture of different feelings, emotions, thoughts, and experiences, which may be familiar or completely foreign. In some cases, a series of old memories resurfaces.


In others, the person may feel as if everything—including home and family—appears strange. Hallucinations of voices, music, people, smells, or tastes may occur. These features are called "auras" or "warnings." They may last for just a few seconds, or may continue as long as a minute or two.


Could he be suffering from this temporal epilepsy? Do some forms of epilepsy require shots?

Quote:
The heads of the organization supposedly habitually wear two hematite rings, a practice which is said to extend to lower members. Dispute arises as to the purpose and symbolism of the rings, ranging in possibility from a sign of devotion to Satan, to a secret code between members depending on which fingers the rings are worn on.


there's our notched code folks (i believe)....two sets of 5...10 fingers?

so now we have to figure out

1) who's fingers these codes are from
2) what do they mean?

 		So I finally decided to post after a long time of lurking. Razz

Well, I know some of you will probably find the right answer to this but I figured I'd give a try. Assuming the lines/daggers means fingers/rings, based on the words accompanying the sets of "fingers", I have this theory:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
||||† ||†|| (Initiate(d?). New adepts to the cult?)
‡|||| ||||| (Heir. Possibly the descendants of Grace)
|†||| |||†| (Hostile. It's obvious they're dangerous, but I have no other idea of what they represent)
||††| ||||| (In direct service.)
||||| ||‡|| (Word below is Sacred Site, still, I can't find a connection. :/)


On a sidenote: this is my first time on trying to solve anything and I have 80% of chances of being wrong Razz

Also, sorry about my english, it kinda sucks.

 		Is anyone else bothered by the use of "deicide" rather than "decide"?

Considering that the last two notes have featured angels, the word for the murder of a god popping up is disquieting.

 		Wow - I've been too busy with work this week (and for some reason I'm not getting emails from unfiction all the time). Unbelievable progress made on this, very impressed with how people are figuring things out!

 		Well what do you know, not the one needed here, but there is at least one 'finger code".

Trying to decode the slashes and crosses rates a big number 4 from me.

 		Gah! I have to leave for the week today!

My involvement, which was already weak to begin with, is gonna drop down to near zero starting tonight. I won't be free again until monday, pretty much. I'll try and see if I can keep following this, but I can't make any promises.

Not that I really did much so far, but sorry...

 		I sent strangeinupstate an email asking if more info could be shed on the "Sons of Grace" and this was what I got in return (I bolded what I found to be most relevant):

hi sylvia

i dont really no much more about the group than is on my website. i know they are local to the area, cause nobbdy else has heard of them. i think they are pretty small, but i have seen a bunch of ppl wearing the rings so maybe medium sized i donno lol.

i first heard of them from my bff who insists that they are stanists, bbecuase you never see them at church, but somebody at school i asked thinks it is like the illuminati. he is the one who told me about the code, which is what he thinks it is. he this like you wear the rings one way it means ur like the new guy, and if you wear them another it means ur gonna take a bitch out, or that ur working for some dark god or something. i donno, because he is weird, but i thoight it would sound good for the conspiracy section of my website, because ny is pretty low on conspiracies LOL.

Oh yeah, it was my bff who thinks they are older. apparently his dad told him there were some witches in the area when the land was settled or some shit and my bro thinks that they formed the sons of grace. i hope that helps.

K

I think your theory may be right on the button.
