Hey all!

Finally got time to catch up over here! I've been reading the blog posts, so I know where we're at with the story. Just a side note, though. I've just recently gotten into tarot, but there's one thing I noticed early on as far as the Minor Arcana:

Wands - Passion - Fire
Cups - Emotion - Water
Swords - Intellect - Air
Pentacles - Wealth - Earth

Each suit is associated with a particular element. If Aidan is the Keeper of fire, then he is most likely associated with the suit of Wands.

My reading, since everyone else is posting theirs.
Quote:
Dearest Theroddd,

As you have chosen The Devil we offer you a reading:

Just like you, The Devil is filled with contradictions and mystery. When you choose The Devil it often means you are in a situation in which you feel helpless or lacking in power. This kind of enslavement takes many forms, such as addition or relationship problems. The most important message of The Devil card is that the enslavement experienced is completely self-inflicted. We all have the power to free ourselves and walk away.



Eventually, we will bring our story up-to-date and introduce you to the Anna who is alive today and who faces an entirely new and different set of challenges. You will have an opportunity to work with Anna directly, and we know you will play an essential and pivotal role in her current journey.


It will be your job to help Anna free herself from her own prison, as well has helping her to decide whether or not the compelling people and relationships she encounters are healthy or manipulative.

Yours Truly,
Sivvy, Ginny, Annes, Melia, & Norma

It's definitely sounding to me like Anna is going to go a bit dark side on us.

Lucky us! Smile

Poor Anna. Sad

I suspect that her dropping the ten of pentacles was like playing it upside down; instead of coming into inheritance, Anna loses anything she may have inherited from her father, all of his possessions, in the fire.

That makes perfect sense, Sarah! Slow news day: Chose The World card b/c the reffy said diplomacy work & travel which are more goals than fulfilled actualizations. Smile

Time for more Nyquil & sleep. Cyas...

Winter Sylvana in a reading of The World card wrote:
Choosing this card shows that you have achieved self-realization and that your outer self very closely reflects your inner self. You are a seeker of knowledge, truth, and enlightenment.

This card brings you assurance of success and victory, based not on luck or happenstance, but rather based on hard work and steady progress towards goals. Your rewards are and will be well-deserved.

Eventually, we will bring our story up-to-date and introduce you to the Anna who is alive today and who faces an entirely new and different set of challenges. You will have an opportunity to work with Anna directly, and we know you will play an essential and pivotal role in her current journey.

It will be your job to bring your knowledge of The World, and the world, to Anna, and help her unlock the difficult puzzles and face the most arduous tests.

Four cards not yet claimed. Will things continue once they've been chosen by someone?

I like that other players have been given a chance to catch up. On that same thimble, I'm very excited for an update soon. Cool

I hope we don't have to wait until they're all claimed. What if they never are?

I think things should carry on anyway though; the Ash post was up since the re-claim of cards started.

It makes me wonder if they are waiting on us to do something and we haven't figured out what that "something" is yet.

I have a feeling that this is just calm before the storm. We're suppose to begin the intense training soon, right?
Btw, did anyone reply them after the readings and have they replied anything back?

i didnt even get a reading Sad

edit: new blog post
Quote:

When Morgan jumped out of the fire truck she saw that the city fire department had most of the blaze under control. The street was cordoned off and there were emergency response vehicles everywhere. Aiden and the other firemen went to talk to the city fire chief and help where they could. Morgan went up to one of the cops who was leaning against her car and writing in a notebook.

"Was anyone hurt?"

The cop looked up. "Oh, hey Morgan. No, luckily nobody but Mrs. Collins was home, and we found her wandering around the driveway in her nightgown."

"Where is she now?"

"She's been taken into custody. Not only did she commit 1st degree arson, but she was in a completely catatonic state."

"Jesus."

"No kidding."

Suddenly Morgan heard a young girl screaming and she turned to look down the street, where she saw Anna Collins pull away from her sister Clara, push past a police office, and start running toward the house. Morgan ran after her and caught up to her quickly.

"Anna, Anna, calm down, your mother is fine."

"Where is she?" Anna asked breathlessly, craning her neck to look over Morgan's shoulder at the charred mess of what was once her house.

"They've taken her to the hospital, she's probably being evaluated and observed."

"What does that mean? Why is she at the hospital if she's fine?"

"Well, she might have had some minor smoke inhalation, and well, we don't really know what happened, but it seems that she started the fire."

"What?!"

"We don't know. I will check in with the hospital when they know more."

Clara and Martin ran up and Morgan hugged Clara, then told them everything that had happened. "Do you have somewhere to stay? There's a social worker coming."

Clara put an arm around Anna. "Anna stays with me. I'm old enough. And yes, we can go stay at Aunt Ruthie's house."

Anna clutched her backpack and murmured, "Thank god I brought the notebook and papers with me. What is there was more? I'm sure there was more. What will happen to our father now?"

Anna sat down heavily on the curb while they waited for the social worker. She was worried about her mother but knew that it would be really good to go see Aunt Ruthie. She was the smartest person Anna knew, even smarter than Clara. She would help them. Anna pulled her father's doodle book out of her backpack and paged through it listlessly while Clara rubbed her back. Martin went to the neighbor's house to make some phone calls. When he came back, Anna stood up and brushed off her jeans. She looked Clara and Marin squarely in the eye.

"We have to go find the Wise One. Now."

There's a couple of grammar and spelling mistakes in this post (e.g. Marin rather than Martin at the end) - mistakes or deliberate?

I noticed those too, and have been looking for anything else that stood out. In the past any mistakes like that have definitely been intentional, but I don't see anything that makes sense in this one.

ETA: definitely take note of them though, they might just be a few that we need to combine with other 'mistakes' in other posts in the future, who knows...

The mistakes I noted were thus:

Office
Marin


That pulls up a lot more results than I expected. On a hunch, I typed in MARIN, ARIZONA.

And by some coincidence, some man named Michael Marin committed arson. He later died under strange circumstances.

I doubt they are connected, but it is interesting to note, all the same...

There is a Marin County (located in California, I think?). And a County of Marin Sherrif's Office. And a Marin County Fire Department.

/shrug

For even more unrelated hi-jinks, someone exists named Ruth S. Marin.

there's also an is that should be an if... so that gives us a missing r, an s that should be an f, and a missing t. Could be initials maybe? RFT or RST? unfortunately I have to go to work so I can't look at it too much further until later...

I couldn't find the is you referred to on the blog so I looked at the quoted post that njberry shared with us and found that the error was originally there, but appears to have been corrected. It went from:

Quote:
What is there was more


to

Quote:
What if there were more


But I see, besides the corrected error, that WAS has been exchanged for WERE.

Just something to note. Although I think it makes more sense to take the missing letters instead of the incorrect words, as you tried doing in the post above (way to go, HP). So we're working with:

Office = R
Marin = T

Another Railroad Track, possibly? Dunno

my reading

Quote:
Dearest Natalie,

As you have chosen The Lovers we offer you a reading:

All of our relationships represent the choices we have made and the choices we continue to make. A relationship, whether with a lover, friend, or family member is one of the biggest areas in our lives in which we experience personal growth.

Unlike many people, you don't run away from challenges in a relationship, but rather look at them as opportunities to learn and change.

Eventually, we will bring our story up-to-date and introduce you to the Anna who is alive today and who faces an entirely new and different set of challenges. You will have an opportunity to work with Anna directly, and we know you will play an essential and pivotal role in her current journey.

You can teach Anna that she doesn't need to run away from love and relationships.

Sincerely,
Sivvy, Ginny, Annes, Melia, & Norma
