Okay, I've been going over and over the beginning to the book, looking for additional clues. I think I've found something, but what significance it may have I do not know. I apologize for the new thread, but I didn't think this fit into anything else. In The Vanishing, (pp. 22-32) it talks about what happens to the fay after they distribute themselves in the New World. Mostly it speaks of the interactions between native American tribal peoples and the fairy folks, and where these were. Here are the correlations I found: The English fay: pixies, hobgoblins, etc. gave lessons in archery to the CATAWBA tribes. For the sake of argument, lets assume that the regions talked about here are the possibilities for where jewels may be buried. The Catawba, however, are a tribe in South Carolina . I'm a bit puzzled about this one. If the "English" jewel is the Garnet, (Image 3) shouldn't the correlation be North Carolina? It's got me thinking. We do have an image for South Carolina--Image 2--or at least we think it's South Carolina. Maybe it isn't? The Russian fay instructed the Mohicans. That would be around the Hudson Valley. This correlates with Image 12, but not with New York City . The Djinn and Peri (Arabian fay) instructed the tribes of the Southwest in weaving--this correlates with Image 8, Texas. The Iberian (Spanish) fay lived among the Timuca and Calusa: both tribes that resided in Florida. This correlates with Image 6, Florida. There is no correlation for region listed for African fay, though it is stated that the African tree spirits and the Caribees resolved their differences with their mutual love of music and dance (p. 22). The only place I can think of this would be the case would be in Louisiana--New Orleans. We have a possible N.O. picture, but it's not the African gem! The Italian fay, the Folletti, settled with the Powhatan--on the shores of New Jersey . The Dutch are mentioned in connection with the Canarsie tribe--specifically on Manhattan. And that would mean Image 9 was--(gasp!) New York City? Hmmm....! Greeks aren't mentioned at all (except obliquely as "half-horse men")--and the Irish Leprechauns are mentioned only in connection with smoking tobacco. But then, the story takes off in another direction. It talks about the actual "vanishing" of the fair folk, along with their jewels, and mentions the Yar-on (Huron) people, the MicMac people and the Wyandot (all tribes around the Great Lakes.) We have some possibilities there--Cleveland, Chicago, and Milwaukee. Two of those three are settled and only one is not. It actually mentions the Fountain of Youth in connection with the Florida (Spanish) fay! So--can we take this information as leading to areas we need to explore? Possibly--I for one am going to explore the New Jersey=Italian connections and see if I can find anything there. What do you all think?

it's strange that the greek and the irish were barely mentioned and yet they were found. i had been looking at new jersey because of being able to see everything in the image and because of that article i found that started "in the shadows" i was mostly looking at liberty state park and hamilton park. i have been checking weehawken because they said the name meant "place of seagulls"and because boogieman mentioned that PATH went there. oh, and also that church someone found is in bayonne, new jersey http://www.oca.org/DIRlisting.asp?SID=9 ... -WA-BAYSPP i did notice all the italian in new jersey.  you could be right, we might be looking at the wrong images for the verses.  i'm going to print your work out so i can see where each fairy should be and go from there. it is something to keep in mind as we search.

I remember this being discussed before, but it really didnt line up that well, I dont remember if there was a west coast connection or not... Of course it is worth looking at though. Oh yeah Fox wrote this all up in 2005 http://www.quest4treasure.co.uk/forum/i ... pic=1851.0 It was good stuff back then too!

I may have a longer response at some point, but I will point out that I grew up less than a mile from the Catawba River in North Carolina, so it's not so big a stretch.

I figured I wasn't the first--but I had no idea where it might be. Thanks for posting the link.

Huh!  shecrab, you and fox thinking alike again.  Go figure.

have you tried the search function? Its a good tool for filtering out threads. click on search and then click on . then you can put in your search words. go down a little bit and uncheck select all scroll down in the list and just put a check mark next to "The Secret" and then it will just search through only the secret threads for you search words... for instance I just searched for powhatan (a rather unique word that would show up only in threads about the natives) and quickly found the link.

you know, i just had a thought, since there is not much in thte picture in image 9, like a water tower , and since the picture looks like a rembrandt drawing, and he was  dutch, couldn't  that stand for the holland tunnel in new jersey? and hamilton park is close to it. look at the shape: http://www.cityofjerseycity.org/docs/hambig.shtml just thinking...and looking

it could very well be...but, that darned exact legeater

i know, i'm just looking, but hey did you notice at the top of that site it (some real estate thing) "located just two blocks from the grove st. PATH.......lol and of course, it could just stand for new york......new amsterdam.....lol

It is possible that the part of the book that preceeds the images and verses when looked at all together may spell out cities or something to do with image to verse matching. But it would likely be as encoded as the verses are. Something to think about though.
