 		My puppy barking at thunder woke me to mention that the symbols on the blinds might be Runes esp. since Jon photographed Stones with strange writing. Am seeing both at Omniglot 'tho both from differing alphabets. Dunno

yes yes yes! i feel like we could be onto something here!


as a sidenote the film Un Chien Andalou that wiki article has this little passage

The idea for the film began when Buñuel was working as an assistant director for Jean Epstein in France. Buñuel told Dalí at a restaurant one day about a dream in which a cloud sliced the moon in half "like a razor blade slicing through an eye". Dalí responded that he'd dreamed about a hand crawling with ants. They were fascinated by what the psyche could create, and decided to write a script based on the concept of suppressed human emotions.[3]

Something else to keep in mind is that Jon was going off of the assumption that it was ES written on the blinds after she flipped them.

If someone else happened to mark it up from outside, they could actually be S3, or 53 instead, depending on how you read the first character.

 		Odin makes a cairn, which is a pile of stones. However there are versions of cairns where the stones are in circles. The stones he took photos of, they were circled around a center stone were they not?

interesting theory,


check the mask image on this page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_Runic_Inscription_66

similar mask but doesnt really fit in with the pagan/norse thing..

i cant believe i made the above statement... look at the mask and read the infor similar? i think it is..


the only one i can see on the blind that looks like a rune symbol is the one that resembles an s shape

http://runesecrets.com/rune-meanings/sowilo

however as a sidenote....on the runes theme...

http://runesecrets.com/rune-meanings/ansuz

odin link AGAIN....

indeed they were in a circle, the caption the DA pic says


I tried to walk into the circle but it really hurt my head, like that pounding you get in your eye sockets kind of bad.

 		If its runic, it isnt norse. There were no horizontal lines in the nordic language. "But why reytrx???" Because they predominantly wrote into wood and horizontals would blend in to the wood grain.

 		the DA site, picture of the blue stone, notice the caption underneath

I tried to read it but... I don't know how to describe it, I just couldn't for some reason. Like there were letters and words but they didn't fit in my head right.

at first glance i cant make out anything at all however there is writing on the inside of the blue stone? can anyone photoshop this and make it clearer? perhaps the writing on the stone will give us something more concrete ( stone - concrete - geddit - - groan its too late for my jokes) but yes it might give us a hint at what the stones were used for , im going with retrx and saying spiritual sacrafice ground!
