Another fire related clue then.


I sent an email to Aiden asking if he had any advice on containing fires that can't be tamped down permanently.


Also, I forgot to share my reading:

Quote:
Dearest Happy Phantom,

The Eight of Cups is the perfect card for you, because it's a card about finding deep satisfaction and joy, not in the traditional sense of pursing a career and obtaining material goods, but in a real and lasting way.

When you feel disappointed about past choices and their results, it's important to remember that it's okay to forgive yourself and walk away. It's always okay, at any point in our lives, to begin anew. This doesn't mean walking away in the literal sense: I don't mean walking away from a job or a family. This means walking away from outdated or unrealistic expectations we may have for ourselves and our lives, and gaining a fresh perspective of what it means to be happy.

Thank you for your service to the Keepers. You will receive your next set of instructions soon.

All of my love always,

Winter



ETA: regarding the new twitter posts, I think diamonds represent pentacles as far as matching up to tarot suits goes... dunno where to go from there though

I found the girl.


She attached a tarot card jpeg containing the clue "the other I" which leads to another pic with a letter string cipher underneath:

ETA: Savvy idea about Aiden, HP! For those newer here's his twitter:https://twitter.com/fdpeoplewhocare. There's a link om it to his blog containing his email.

 		Thanks, Amandel. I am thinking he is the artist in Flagstaff who painted "The Fire", and maybe 'the switch' may be something having to do with the painting and this new contact. /shrug

 		I have been plugging away at the cipher today with little luck so far. Could be a coincidence that it is 27 characters long but i like things that are nicely divisible!

 		Same. I've tried different ciphers and passphrases, but no luck.
Sent my drawing in today and now waiting for new instructions.

 		I got a mail from Winter yesterday. I assumed others got this too.

Quote:
Dearest Keepers,

Thank you for your continued loyalty and service.

Anna has reluctantly given me some information which has led me to the identity of the girl who purchased Frank Roanhorse's estate. To protect her from random onlookers I have only given you a clue to her whereabouts; it's up to you to find her yourselves.

Once you find the girl, do not yet initiate contact. I will let you know when the time is right. At this point in our mission we will only watch and wait.

As for your next challenge, I would like you to familiarize yourself with your chosen card. In doing so, please create an original artistic rendering of your card and send it to me. You can include drawing, painting, photography, and/or collage. The card must contain the symbolism and imagery appropriate to the meaning of your card (which of course is open to interpretation). The card must also contain the name and number of the card.

When I receive your submission you will be given then next piece in the puzzle.

Faithfully Yours,

Winter Sylvana


Haven't heard anything back yet.

 		Ok, I got a new clue

Quote:
The High Priestess is card #
Persephone is:


Only thing I've found so far is that the numerical for the name Persephone is 4.

ETA: Oh, I did also find a youtube video called "Persephone Numbers Station", but that's some creepy s#t and I hope that has nothing to do with this Shocked Laughing

 		Was the clue from winter?

Also the number could be four or six:

Quote:
The number of pomegranate seeds Persephone eats in the myth, varies with the region in which it is being told. In some versions she eats only 4 seeds, that being the number of months the earth in not productive in those warm regions. In others, she eats 6 seeds symbolising the number of unproductive months in colder regions.


Although the picture has 4 birds in flight, there are also two on the ground.

 		Hi HI All! THX @Elethamei for posting Winter's latest clue & also @Russell for counting out those 27 letters.
So, that means the cipher prolly isn't a Playfair. Maybe a Gronsveld Cipher considering all these numbers in play?

And sharing that neither Winter nor Anna have responded to my inquiry about that mislabeled Columbian artifact in Anna's twitter. Is it a KLOO or a red herring? Dunno

Just to clarify this Amandel in an email to Winter wrote:
On her twitter feed Anna has a treasured Columbian artifact mislabeled with an Egyptian provenance. Maybe since you two are talking now ('tho not getting a BFF vibe there LOL) you might bring this to her attention? She must have missed my tweet reply about this mistake, fair enough, and her business reputation could suffer as a result

 		I also emailed Anna without a response posing as a museum curator but no feedback yet. Have been playing around with a lot of ciphers but no dice. Got the email about creating the picture though Wink my art skills are appalling so trying to think of how to photo my card themes!

**New tweet with a statue of

Caesar


cant be the basic cipher so must be a keyed one. Have tried a lot of possibilities so far and am enjoying banging my head!

Edit** Thought I had it there after passing it through a caesar (6) and a vigenere (origin) when the result started with "exit" sadly the rest was gobbledegook
