I'm really relieved to see a video. I side with Tachyon, but I was hoping Op hadn't gone the way of CiW. My heart has already been broken once.

I was just wondering that, too. And, it's about time, eh? It has only been how long? lol

lol definately.

I think they have been on revver as long as they have been appearing on the LG15 site, all the response videos are on revver. But I think up till now they have been appearing on YouTube first.

I think it was probably meant to catch us all off guard.

If Op logged into YT that'd be a news story now and we'd all be waiting while the vid processed.

This was an awesome surprise!

It also may be that they are beginning to use the LG15 tactic of delaying the video posting on YouTube to lure more viewers to the LG15 site. It fits into the "promo" on Gemma's account. It will be interesting to see if when the OpAhid video appears on YouTube if it has the ad at the end for the LG15 site.

regarding the tag 36...

LIBER XXXVI [36]
THE STAR SAPPHIRE.
Let the Adept be armed with his Magick Rood [and provided with his mystic rose].

In the centre, let him give the L.V.X. signs; or if he know them, if he will and dare do them, and can keep silent about them, the signs of N.O.X. being the signs of Puer, Vir, Puella, Mulier. Omit the sign. I.R.

Then let him advance to the East and make the Holy Hexagram, saying: Pater et Mater unus deus Ararita.

Let him go round to the South, make the Holy Hexagram and say: Mater et Filius unus deus Ararita.

Let him go round to the West, make the Holy Hexagram and say: Filius et Filia unus deus Ararita.

Let him go round to the North, make the Holy Hexagram and then say: Filia et Pater unus deus Ararita.

Let him then return to the Centre, and so to The Centre of All (making the Rosy Cross as he may know how) saying Ararita Ararita Ararita

(In this the Signs shall be those of Set Triumphant and of Baphomet. Also shall Set appear in the Circle. Let him drink of the Sacrament and let him communicate the same.) Then let him say: Omnia in Duos: Duo in Unum: Unus in Nihil: Haec nec Quatuor nec Omnia nec Duo nec Unus nec Nihil Sunt.

Gloria Patri et Matri et Filio et Filiae et Spiritui Sancto externo et Spiritui Sancto interno ut erat est erit in saecula Saeculorum sex in uno per nomen Septem in uno Ararita.

Let him then repeat the signs of L.V.X. but not the signs of N.O.X.: for it is not he that shall arise in the Sign of Isis Rejoicing.

Zodiac of Denderah

Some claim it to be Decan stars and therefore it is one of the 36 characters around the circle of the Denderah zodiac....

The picture above is the ceiling view of the zodiac of Denderah (Egypt) which ... Since the Egyptians had a zodiac with 36 decans...

seems like the number thirty six has a lot to do with the zodiac of denderah.

Also Article 36...in the rules of thelema states:

ARTICLE THIRTY-SIX.

Those who do not accept the Law of Thelema may not trespass upon the
consecrated grounds of the Abbey. Above all entrances to the Abbey the
motto "DO WHAT THOU WILT" shall be superscribed. Guests and new
members shall sign the following pledge form immediately upon
admission to the Abbey: "I do solemnly declare that I accept the Law
of Thelema, that I will devote myself to discover my True Will, and to
do it." Those who refuse to sign must be expelled.

I talked with her on myspace a bit. Without telling me any of the plot or giving any thing away, she had expressed how school was becoming more and more demanding, and that she wouldn't have much time for this anymore. I never said anything until now because there was no reason to start people chirping.

So no she didn't get fired.

I mean OpAphid is supposed to be the group that keeps the Order's secret's right? They expose themselves to a degree by making vids. The only way to get away with it would be if the information was misleading somehow and to play head games with certain people but if those people don't watch the vids it just doesn't make sense to me.
They are supposed to be watched by those playing the ARG...not Bree, Dan or even the casual LG15 viewer. So, they make sense on the gaming level to the ARG people. I don't really play the ARG, but I keep up on it enough to see what the puzzles and answers are.

Thats not true. How would we have known Gemma was killed? We never would have known if it were not for the ARG videos.

With all due respect to philosophers and French poets, perhaps Kruger and Dunning's observations are more appropriately insightful for this day and age. Oh, and in the prophetic words of an old-school bard: "the next time a girl gives you the play, just remember my rhyme and get the hell away."

Is Oppy giving Daniel relationship advice?

Good point.

Are we supposed to just assume that Bree and Daniel forgot all about Gemma?

"What ever happened to that girl Gemma?"

Ziola · Post by **Ziola** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 1:31 pm

Actually jenlight, that might prove to be more prophetic then you think. After all, right now we are all assuming that the line in question is in reference to Gemma and Brother. But, depending on whether or not Bree has acted on some ulterior motive and truly has no feelings for Daniel and is just using him to further her own agenda, this might actually pertain to our own little "Romeo and Juliet"...

After all, I'm sure that Op knows exactly where they are and what they have been doing....since I think that Jonas is an OPerative himself..
