I am not sure how I missed this, but Primordial and Rustic are two types of Greek Deities.

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

Erebus is a Primoridial Deity and is the father of the Keres and the Keres are sisters to the Fates.

Maybe I'm stretching things, but it seems too coincidental to me. Really though I could just be overly enthusiastic.


Edit: I got an email back from the school, but it's nothing of note. I asked to be put on their wait list so my daughter can attend the school. Geneva is also following me on twitter now. Though for some unrelated reason I am unable to send tweets. So I probably won't participate via twitter much.

I can post the emails if people want, but like I said, so far there is nothing super interesting in them.

Ooh, I like where this is going!

Sorry to be posting again with nothing really new. I noticed in Geneva's latest blog post she mentioned that she was sitting down to watch the first season of Game of Thrones on Netflix. That strikes me as odd, because HBO doesn't have any of it's shows streaming on Netflix.

It may not be anything related to the game, but what if it is and Geneva isn't the most reliable source.

I mean right now I don't think we have a whole lot to go by, but why say you were doing something that is so easy to discredit?

Also curse her for making me thing Game of Thrones was on Netflix and that I might actually be able to watch it finally

So, whoa, lotta blood, and it doesn't appear to be Cassidy's. Curious that her sister is covered in it, but not her parents. (Wikipedia on Cassandra says she had a twin brother, Helenus. Doesn't mention a sister. Still, wonder what Cassidy's sister's name is?)

Might not hurt to ask about the GoT/Netflix thing - if it's an error, I bet the PM will find a way to cover it, or they might just ignore it. I've asked a few questions of Geneva that haven't been answered, so if she doesn't respond, it's probably not important.

I was hoping there'd be more content on the school website once classes started. Oh well, adds to the mystery.

I find it interesting that most things seem to be in threes, either the PM just wanted us to get to the 'three' page, or three will be significant throughout....in which case why only 2 initiates?

(incidentally I chose Hecate as my favourite, goddess of witchcraft who is often depicted with three heads.. it's like I knew )

[Tenshi Akui]

There is a lot in Greek Myths involving the number 3.

The Three rulers (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades), The Three Charities (Splendor, Mirth, and Good Cheer), The Three Fates (Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos), The three Erinyes (Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone), Cerberus the three headed dog, The three judges of the underworld (Minos, Rhadamanthys, and Sarpedon), and of course Hecate the three faced goddess.

There are many cultures who consider three to be a sacred number as well. So I'm not surprised they are using the number often.

As to the two initiates rather than three... either a) they need one more and it will be our responsibility to find them (one of us?) or b) we just haven't been introduced to the third or c) the number of initiates is not just that important and only counts the new teachers.

Geneva answered my DM. It probably was PM error, she corrected it by saying.

Email to the School

Just a little bit of digging I did here that I figured I'd share (a small connection I found interesting but probably useless ), arete (the word on the moorpond school for girls main page that someone previously defined) is also personified as the Greek Goddess of Virtue, along with her sister Homonoia (Peace) and mother, Praxidike (Justice).

As it so happens, the statue in Geneva Ryder's twitter profile picture is the Roman goddess of abundance, of which the Greek counterpart is a group of Goddesses called the Horae, or Hours. They are usually depicted as a triad of Goddesses, one of the most common being those of Peace, Justice, and Virtue.

Another new blog post - http://moorpond.blogspot.com/2013/08/first-day-of-school.html

Her room number is listed as 15-18-9-7-9-14.

Also, Cassidy's sister is Helen, so good job on calling that one, Petunia!
