Yeah, I've tried to find more hidden pages, but haven't found anything. Just sent an email to Winter hoping to get a clue what to do next.

It's still easy to join the Cardkeepers, The_Spine. First, choose a new card at http://www.foolschildren.com/ & email your pick to Winter Sylvana at keeperSPLATfoolschildren.com or just sign up with your card choice here: http://www.foolschildren.com/contact.html

Then, while you're waiting for Winter's reply read this thread & jot down any other links you'd like to peruse, esp. her twitter accn't https://twitter.com/foolschildren. OK?

Hi All. We've got various updates on Winter's twitter & on https://librarymusingsblog.wordpress.com/. One of 'em leads to a HIDDEN page. Possibly there are more?

***Edit *** New Tweet with the clue reap

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Leads to http://hidden.foolschildren.com/demeter.html

as Demeter was the godess of the harvest


Which in turn leads to :

http://hidden.foolschildren.com/pomegranateseeds.html

Which were eaten by Demeters daughter Persephone


The puzzle decodes with the following:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Priests
Priestesses
Hierophants
Initiates

This gives "Their Rite" and leads to

http://hidden.foolschildren.com/eleusis.html


Not sure if the trail runs cold there.....it is a pretty fun card game though =)

Just a small bump since its a new train of thought from my previous post.

I have pulled together everything from the hidden sites in to this post:

Quote:
8 and 11

11 and 8

What lies behind the switch

Will seal our fate...

----------

The priest knows something.

----------

She sits between darkness and light.
----------

I have the keys of hades and of death

----------

SHOW YOUR CARDS


Other than the second item, which linked into Carinas conversations with the priest, none of the others are sounding any alarms to me as something i can recognise in hindsight. I was thinking maybe each clue referred to a different major arcana card:

Strength / Justice
Hierophant
High Prestess
The Devil

but not getting anything. Anyway thought i would recap it in case it sparked anything for anyone else.

Very cool and can't wait to see it!

I dropped winter an email over the weekend with some of my musings and received the following:

Quote:
Dearest Russell,

You are a pretty smart fellow, and I appreciate your talents as an observant Keeper. No, I am not M. and Carina is not my daughter. I have other reasons for having you keep on eye on her, as you put it. And yes, there are similarities between M. and me. I am glad you noticed.

SHOW YOUR CARDS has many meanings, some of which will be obvious, and some of which evolve over time. I apologize for being abstruse.

I will try to make it very clear when you must act immediately, and when you can sit back and ponder the information I have given you.

Some pictures develop quickly, others take time.

All of my love always,

Winter

A little something in my postbox today.



Interestingly the code on the list is the same for us both so the additional word we each have is not the cipher key on its own.

Edit** I tweeted the image since this forum is oog and got a like from foolschildren so "show your cards" may be literal

Edit2** whoops just saw you already had Smile

Quoting again from The Eagles Winter wrote:

letter string solve(ish) Laughing
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
keyed caesar :shift 5 and keyword "key" reads as "the spark club"

Problem is am utterly clueless what to do with this answer. Only found a "discontinued site" (Help!) Rolling Eyes and THX HP & Russell for posting your pics for us

ETA: Really got to mention @Russell: awesome puzzling in those posts above... a regular trifecta of solves!!
