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 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.
