View source for Generally Accepted Pairings

A '''''pairing''''' is a logical matching of one of the twelve full-color [[paintings]] in ''The Secret'' with one of the twelve cryptic [[verses]]. As the [[The Secret (book)|book]] itself instructs (p. 7-8), “The key to each requires the proper combination of one treasure painting with one treasure verse. You need only decipher the clues in any pair to learn the location of a treasure [[casque]].”

The following constitute generally accepted pairings of images and verses. While the ones that resulted in found casques are by definition correct, the remainder are current reflections of broad consensus.
