Actually tommymcgrarh, You are partially right. In Ezekiel 1:1-26, Ezekiel describes seeing creatures with wheels instead of legs, four arms, and wings, among other attributes. These creatures also had four faces. The face of a man, an ox, a lion, and an eagle. This particular passage has always interested me because of the seemingly sciencefiction feeling of it.

That book does give me a lot of ideas.

Particularly the hexagram.

Who is that creature in it? Shiva?

Re: The four images of man, ox, eagle, and lion.

Those traditionally represent the four writers of the Gospels in one of two patterns:

Matthew = man
Mark = lion
Luke = ox
John = eagle

Evidently, this stems from the order of the faces listed in the Ezekiel passage.

or

Matthew = lion
Mark = ox
Luke = man
John = eagle

which comes from the order of the beasts listed in Revelations 4:7.

So do we have a list of possible solutions to try when the site goes live again?

This from the conversation Shir had with his teacher.
Quote:
XXXXX: It was ;supposed to be. Dead ends are part of a good puzzle, Look at any maze


If you look at the hexagram there appear to be breaks in the lines, so I think this is a maze. If you start at earth, using the Sephirot names for the planets, your first letter would be S, if you try to go to the right, down to Mars, you hit a deadend. You would have to pass earth again so now you take the second letter, which is H. I haven't been able to make any sense of it yet, but am still working on it and perhaps someone else can make this work.

Sephirot Names of Planets
Earth=Shekhinah
Moon=Yesod
Mars=Gevurah
Jupiter=Chesed
Saturn=Binah
Neptune=Kkhokhmah
Uranis=Keter

Edited to add: Shir's teacher also said the planets, the numbers, and the path are important to solving this.

These are the Kaballah names of the planets, but Shir's teacher said to use Christian and not Jewish mythology. I'm not saying they're wrong because I honestly don't know, but there is something called Christian Kaballaism (or German Kaballaism). However, I'm not sure if the planet names are any different or not. What else in Chrisitian mythology would have different planet names? That I haven't completley figured out yet...

Possibly, the teacher was referring to the fact that Christians did not think that the sun was the center of the solar system/universe, but rather, the earth was. *shrug* I'm no good with this stuff, I prefer encryption/decryption o_o

The first thing I thought of when I heard Christian Mythos was Angels

I found a site that gives the Angelic equivalents to the Sephiroth and the planets.

I can't help but think we're way overthinking this puzzle. It's probably something simple, and it's masked by the fact that they're giving way more information than we need to solve.

eMouse -- I couldn't agree more, it's probably something very simple, but I've tried everything I can think of...

It might be a cipher I don't know, maybe one that can be abbriviated "sph"?
