Charlottesville, VA– In a new development in the murder investigation of Morgan Dana Harrington, blinkoncrime.com has learned that Anchorage Farm was very much a frequent party spot for local musicians.
In fact, there was a 7 Mile Sleepover exactly one week after Morgan’s disappearance from the JPJ arena that included an invitation list of over 130 guests.
Jenny Bass, the adult daughter of David and Nancy Bass, is an accomplished pianist, musician, horticulturist and artist in the Charlottesville community.
The Seven Mile Sleepover appears to have been posted prior to Morgan’s disappearance, approximately October 14, 2009.
While it is unconfirmed how many guests actually attended the event, it is clear there could have been over 100 people within a few hundred yards of Morgan’s final resting place a week after she went missing, and presumably, her death.
As Anchorage Farm is a verified crime scene in an active murder investigation, one wonders if anyone found anything they may not have realized of importance at the time.
According to her facebook, Ms. Bass was clearly disturbed by her discovery as well:

TO: crimewriter, re: the YouTube video you created: Outstanding work; simply outstanding. On behalf of all readers here, thank you.
TO: Justice, re: the memory quilt: What a wonderful, heartwarming idea; thank you so much offering to do this. I am certain this effort will be cherished by Dan, Gil and and Alex, and will serve as a tangible reminder of the many lives that Morgan has touched. It will also help to underscore for the Harringtons the commitment of so many diverse individuals to the cause: seeking final justice for Morgan.
On those particularly difficult days, Dan, Gil, and Alex can look at the quilt, touch it and feel it, and know that they have the support of caring people literally all around the world. It will also serve as a color representation of their shiny girl.
My mind is already working to think of what I might like to offer for you to include in Morgan’s memory quilt. [I'm no artist and creativity is not my best event.] As others have asked, please let us know in what manner and format we should submit our contributions to you.
Did and agreed.

Given the sleepover on 10/24, doesn’t it make sense that the BGs used that occasion as cover to dispose of the body?
_________________________
joey, imo, no. its way too risky to try and cover your tracks when there are more people around then when there are less people around.
this is why i have very little doubt that those responsible for placing morgan on af are not associated with those involved in the 7 mile sleepover.
i’ll agree that the 7 mile sleepover illustrates that plenty of characters were familiar with the farm and some of its far reaches. i’m still convinced though, that there is a precision (location, location, location) to where morgan was found that is significantly more than “familiar.”
location was just over the property line, in a creek bed, covered by trees. hard to reach and far from the properties dwellings.
A clarification, FWIW:
Cantelope’s 1/11 last login is for his MySpace acct, *not* Facebook.
The AF photos are on his Facebook account, which he’s been active on thru May 16, possibly later (FB does not provide a “last login date”).
Hieroglyphics, Chinese and Hebrew symbols, Greek, French, Indian or Eastern, even Celtic symbols and the written phrase “The Mother Tongue of Being” …
It’s all just ways of communication…that is what is found in the long illustration. I think Redly is right on target. A group activity where maybe someone suggested using symbolism and everyone did their own thing.
joey, or the exil sorcerer wanted to ruin jb’s party by having the scavengerhunters find a body instead of a mask,or bg knew about party and knew it would contaminate crime scene,or just coincidence.to jb and all,”friends”dont suggest that an evil sorcerer is after you(putting that thought in your head is almost being an evil sorcerer putting a curse on you right there),friends tell you (when you say “i feel there’s curse on me)”noone can put a curse on you unless you believe it,only you can give it power” that’s what friends say.and the discovery of morgan was so good a blessing,bad karma will reap what is sows ,mr bass is lucky, what was hidden on his farm was found, and exposed,imagine the curse if it hadnt.
First, I want to say that I am in no way familiar with the lay of the land in Virgina. However, I am familiar with what 700+ acres looks like. So here are my observations….
1)Morgan was found a very, very long way from jb’s house.
2)I think all of the pics were taken in the fields close to the old farmhouse where jb’s apartment is. And, fwiw, I don’t think jb was there when they were taken. I almost get the feeling that maybe the rumors were rampant and one or a few had heard she was at AF…they just didn’t know where…its a big place!
3)I am guessing the opposite of some theories and that whoever put Morgan knew the farm well enough to know NOT to put her near the old farmhouse where jb lives….she would be found sooner.
Blink…you and yours are awesome and though I have rarely posted, I love this site! Every post is meaningful and heartfelt in some way. Thank you for letting me post here.
TO Crimewriter:
The You Tube video was amazing! I am glad I watched it. It really helped me focus again and realize maybe there IS something I can do via my computer and research skills to help solve this case.
I was thinking of just not even coming to the site anymore…it has dragging me down. I, too, have been sheltered from the dark side of life and after following many of these FB personas (in search of clues), I began to realize how much evil there is in the world. After seeing the video I thought how selfish of me to even think that I could be depressed about Morgan’s death when I never knew her. Yet, I have so much empathy for the Harringtons that it does hurt and drag me down. Your video and upbeat music has inspired me to “fight on” and continue doing what I can do to share with BOC whatever I can to help solve this case.
The Harringtons need us more than ever. I am hopeful our empathy and efforts to find clues leading to her killer(s) must comfort them in some way.
P.S. Who is the singer in Somewhere Over the Rainbow? LOVE her voice!
TO: Ode: Thank you for the heads-up; I’ll check the post office box and will let you know when your Morgan rock arrives and I’ve placed it at her memorial on Copeley.
Justice: I cannot thank you enough for responding to my post suggesting that we all do a collage for the Harringtons and bringing that idea one step further, and really bringing it to life, with the memory quilt idea. I love the idea of a quilt because it is something the Harringtons can touch, hold, feel, wrap around them. I want to again to say thank you. I just felt like we had to do something for the Harringtons and the quilt couldn’t be more perfect!
I have my piece of it complete. It did it in a Microsoft power point. What should I do now?
There are so many excellent posts and thoughts I want to comment on I dont know where to begin.. how about on a high note with crimewriter’s video. More boo-hooing by me. I need to put a cork on that.
As far as reviewing the scrolls or whatever they are. I believe this was an evolving piece of work. There is a poster board standing beside a flowered chair in the tree house site with very similiar items. It may be a common theme into various spiritual & ‘religious’ beliefs.
That being said, I think we have here, a group of people at varying levels of belief & practice. Some taking their studies to a higher level Mainly by adding drugs and alcohol.
Yes I think it could be that the photographer and group taking the pics were checking things out AFTER the fact, to revel in others work. But obviously, you then cannot ignore their degree of guilt on some level (imo), for having this knowledge.
Lizzy- I had thought that on looking at JC’s MS page, going back to 2006, I felt he was escalating into a bad place to say the least. Add to that his physical changes.
The skull or mask seen in the pic ? # 30, I see what looks mask like in the crux of the tree. If you look at the drawings, there are multiple faces/masks in odd places. So who knows.
I think the relation to Lamb of God cannot be over looked. I have always felt that name was sacreligious(imo).
The moon phases-Dark Moon. google that, has lots of meanings, which can also be manipulated, which I think is being done throughout.
I find it interesting the intermingly of people. Many we had looked at before.
MW friends w/ WD- who has very shady thoughts and ideas, both snooki friend I believe. She also has friended herself, leading to another page. I would like to know if WD is the Treehouse owner? I google earthed that address, there is a definite trail behind the Arbor Cir, leading to a wooded area and the river. I betcha the tree house playground is there.
What I am getting at, is,.. like Blink said, right church, which pew?
Sorry for length.
@ katie May 23, 2010 at 10:45 am
Sorry, must have overlooked the Greek… whereabouts do you see it?
Thought again about the background of the painter(s) – educated (not necessarily intellectual), and lots of time for work like this, which suggests that they are wealthy. To me, the painting does not necessarily point towards drugs or the occult. It is just odd, like the E.A. Poe imagery in the facebook posts.
What I find weird is the interest in roadkill. Taxidermy on its own is fine, and a very well respected craft. Dark imagery and strange doodles are also fine. The combination of the two is *not* within the normal range.
@ Oblio May 22, 2010 at 6:26 pm
Does anyone know the main geo caching websites for the US? It would be interesting to see whether there is anything hidden in the area of Anchorage Farm. As far as I know they mainly use areas which are accessible to the public – but it wouldn’t surprise me if they used woods and fields as well, if it is not immediately obvious that they are private property.
I actually know a few people who do it… it is harmless, like an fancy version of a scavenger hunt. You get GPS data and clues and have to find a hidden target. You get the information from websites. Sometimes people meet up in groups for their search, and they often meet at night time, when it is really spooky out in the forests.
Joey, I have also wondered about the kidnapping and held for days- scenario- I think it can’t be ruled out just yet that Morgan may have been held- It saddens me greatly to think too much about this scenario. I know Blink and Gil believe she was gone, the 17th or early 18th- I don’t know if this is just their feeling or hope, or if they are basing it on some info.
Lizzy, I agree with you, I don’t find anything disturbing about J pics on his FB.
He writes that he has a love of the outdoors- he never said he was a professional photographer. My daughter, who is younger, and her friends, take photos the same way- I think this whole generation does- they document their lives and adventures in pics- some very boring moments, but The pics mean something to them,even when they are not good pics, by photography standards.
Having said that, What I do find disturbing is IF these pics were never turned over to LE. Also, I would be very disturbed if JB never told LE or her parents of this walkabout in early OCT- NOV. I would also be very taken aback if JB never shared with her dad, and LE that she had open invitations to visit- before, during and after Morgan’s disappearance, murder, and recovery.
These are the questions that need to be answered, along with, was JB in town Oct 17, if she was, was there a party- or get together-who came-? If she wasn’t did she announce her plans and her family’s to
anyone- Was a blanket FB announcement made? ect. Did she know Morgan? Or any of her friends? Did any of JB’s friends or friends of friends act strangely- have scratches ect.
Someone early brought up the Graham and Zamora case- after murdering Adrianne Jones, they showed up the same night, covered in blood at the home of one of Graham’s friends- he let them clean-up and never said anything-
Is someone out there, that was a friend to this person or person’s and allowed helped in the cleanup?- I think there is- To this person/s I say- come forward tell all- blood never washes off- don’t remain stained, help Morgan’s brother and her parents, to realize the truth. Let yourself off the hook, and stop allowing yourself to be used by a twisted manipulator, no matter how good a friend he used to be- he stopped being your friend when he involved you in this.
anotherB, FWIW, I can’t find any Greek on the picture.
mynamehere, Hi- could you elaborate on these thoughts? I would be very interested to hear your interpretation on the art work- TIA

Katie, I’m going to have to disagree with you. The symbols in the artwork are not a combination of varying spiritualities, but rather one. This is not a piece done by a number of tripping people. It is quite symbolic, from the eye of horas through the yin and yang.
awa-
Hey,it was Sherlock that brought up the moon – I think this angle needs to be researched further- obviously we have alot of kids with an interest in many belief systems. As for LOG yes the name is offputting- but IIRC they changed it from an ev en more offense name- I do not believe they are satanic, but I can see where some sicko may have taken there on belief’s and twisted LOG and many other things to fit their sickness.
Crimewriter, your vid was superb-very well done- and i thank you so much for all the hardwork and creativity that went into it- You helped in so many ways- now those without FB will be able to see the pics- Incorporating Raders comments was brilliant-
Kriskringle- glad to see you around this time of year- CW did great- youre right.
Lily thanks for bringing the Bev comment to us- things that make you go HMMM-
Oblio- geo tracking scavenger hunts- extremely interesting- if this was the thing to do at AF then it seems many people would know the lay out-
I stumbled upon geocaching by looking up the coordinates of where Morgan was found. I found nothing hidden on the farm, but you never know. There was one very active site; I don’t recall the URL.

Hey- JetTX- thanks for posting your thoughts- I agree, AF is a big place- and there is a good chance that all these pics were taken closer to the old home- but there is also a chance, that they were taken in and around THE area-
I would hope LE has had the help of JB and these pics and thousands of other pics and other friends, all along- but I am not so sure-
LE has to look thru JB’s friends her sisters friends the past tenants friends the nieghbor’s friends the parents friends, ect. What a daunting task.
Rader asked about location – early on, we all speculated that Morgan was placed at some party spot- that she either was lured there to party or made it there on her own to party- but succumbed to the elements oded ect- or she was placed there for convenience, and to mask who did it- well-known party spot opens up the suspect list right?
Well, in my opinion, we know now, without a doubt, that many people knew of AF as a great place to party not just in the past but STILL-
IMO, LE needs to come out and tell us definitely when and how Morgan died, when she was placed on AF and anythingelse that would jar people out of their mindsets-
Locals KNEW about AF, Rader may not have known the extent of who knew, but GDI, there are lots of partiers out there who did, and to my knowledge said -nothing- IIRC the tip line got 600 tips- That’s all?!
Just seeing JB FB, and these pics and all her friends and all of their friends- in the 100′s! There should have been way more than 600 tips to the location line- WAY MORE!!! Half of those tips were probably from old timers and the history of AF or from long ago partiers-
I still think the killer is hiding behind- they really don’t know what happened-it was an accident!- If anyone opens there mouth now, about AF being THE party spot- that would put alot of people in the frying pan- now- Wouldn’t it?
Why the silence?-
J2k- you are gonna hate me but I am with Liam- even OYE said in her last posts:
LE is seeking information on the location that would point to the scenarios you describe (ie party place): people going in and out at odd hours; vehicles unknown to those who live in the neighborhood; vehicles parked at odd hours. . .Maybe some noticed but shrugged it off as “it happens all the time around here” or “I always see that car parked there but I have no clue who it is”. . .CALL THE NUMBER.
Lol at your email addy. Yes, I do.
Good Advice.

@ Kathleen: while I agree with the first part of your post, I mean this in the nicest way: (and NOT about Morgan specifically,) you are sadly mistaken about how most (NOT all), but MANY–18-24 yo operate.
Have you seen any facebook pictures lately?? If you want examples of what I am talking about, just let me know. . .
Sadly, they are not thinking “future”. They are thinking “five minutes from now” or “this weekend”. . .You are looking at this from your perspective and have seen how the things they are doing can jeopardize their chosen paths. They do not have the benefit of that experience and wisdom, unfortunately
—
I think OYE was not in the know, but she certainly knew how these kids operate, and in light of these FB pages IMO she was spot on in these last comments-
I hope LE will reconsider and tell us more regarding Morgan’s death- Anything else IMO is still allowing her killer, and others to hide behind their own beliefs, lies or at the very least allows those with suspected knowledge to be anything but forthcoming with info..
kriskringle,Mom3.0, Sobermom, mary, Observer, RU Mom, Eloise & Blink; RE: You’re welcome. I felt it was necessary to put some more energy out there.
RU Mom; RE: A while back I posted a link in reference to:
“In September 2007 Chuck Cohen a 1st sergeant with the Indiana State Police told a class in Louisiana of 21 law enforcement agencies, studying “how criminals often leave an online trail at social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook,” that the Taylor Behl case marked one of the first times that police narrowed down their suspect pool using a MySpace friends list. Cohen said that Ben Fawley’s Internet footprint eventually led police to Behl’s body”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Taylor_Behl
It’s up to LE to correctly complete their investigation and arrest those responsible. It’ll be up to the Commonwealth Attorney to prosecute those responsible. It’ll be up to the judge and jury to find those AND hold those accountable for this tragedy. As far as the afterlife, well we know who the judge and jury is there…Fortunately, just separated for a short bit, Morgan and her family will someday reunite with one another. As for those responsible, I think the horror for themselves will be that their very existence will be wiped out. When it’s over for them, it’ll be just that, over. Nothing.
I’m amazed at how everyday each and everyone here contribute something. We don’t just post for conversation. I can sure bet that analysts from different LE agencies view this site and read our dialog in order to obtain more in-depth thinking for themselves. It’s more than just very probable that Blink and bloggers here alike have helped cases move forward at whatever various stage into the investigation or prosecution the case is in.

RE: Start with http://www.geocaching.com/about/default.aspx
Perhaps we can find someone in a chat room who is a member and ask to plan a route along 29 and see if they get any notifications from the site that there are in deed geocaches or geocoins hidden around the area of AF or BF. This particular website fuses google map with their tool bar, however you have to be an annual $30 member to get full access to the map tools.
http://www.geocaching.com/map/default.aspx?lat=38.03451&lng=-78.48647
was jb scared of going to her haunted house before or after morgan was found?i thought when morgan was found is was said jb had been living there but was no longer.
anotherB, Oblio,
Within a 10-mile radius of downtown Charlottesville there are 36 caches. Within 25 miles there are 88. Draw a 100-mile circle around town and you can hunt for 1,957 bits of hidden treasure. Caches come in all sizes. There are small caches the size of a Starbuck’s vanilla mint tin. There are some as small as your fingertip and some the size of a 5-gallon bucket.
@ alexandra May 23, 2010 at 4:46 pm
I didn’t see any Greek either -
jb has a stepbrother too,about 45 years old,he and his friends once considered it their farm,probably before she was born and were gonna turn it into a woodstock festival site,guess it didnt happen.
Susan- who are you referring to?
B
i cant remember his name,but localcvillegirl -quasi confirmed there is a son and i’m 99.9% sure if there is a son its who i’m refering to.
Who confirmed there is a son and where?
Tia-

To answer the geocaching question…
The closest geocaches are 3.5 miles from Anchorage Farm. They are located in Walnut Creek Park.
Geocaching is a great sport you should check it out! http://www.geocaching.com
Regarding the cause of death ….. I read that the coroner was unable to determine the cause of death. I think if she had been shot or stabbed there would have been some indication. Strangulation is what I think likely but I’m just guessing. Some have said maybe she was hit by a vehicle – due to all the bone injuries I guess. My guess is strangulation.
RUmom, I am glad you stuck around, we all feel like we need a breather once in awhile.
susanm- I never thought of it like that, but you are right a curse is a curse only if you see it as that- and exactly when did she become frightened and “dark”- before of after? I too would like to hear more of this older stepbrother- another Woodstock- ? well AF was certainly known as THE place to party w/music…
Cat, I somehow missed those comments on his Myspace- I think we have to look at everything in its totality-like anotherb rightly wrote, one thing may not be disturbing, but it is the combination of all interests, thoughts and actions that become outside the normal-
so was he dancing with wiccans on AF or with unicorns and other artists- was his darker earlier thoughts being masked- or did he grow up and mature- Its hard to read whether he was just a kid going thru a hard time of if it means something more. I think we have to be real careful about jumping to conclusions based upon his pages or anyone’s else’s for that matter.
Having said all that, Jenny said she was tired of everyone knowing everybody in town-
Are all these people dabbling in these things a coincidence? Or are we talking about people taking things to a darker place- which his FB implys which WT FB implied, are these people hanging out together- was it a fad or a phase – or are some of these kids seriously believing this and practicing more than naked dancing around HUGE Bf with lotus leaves?
Question? Warning graphic-
JB is into taxidermy- she picks up roadkill- taxidermy involves skill and tools- roadkill involves messy and shovels ect.-
Where does JB keep her tools? If I was a killer and needed access to tarps or shovel or other- would my first stop be to the farm of the girl who plays with dead things-?
In the movie GoodFellas- Tommy, Henry and Jimmy stop by Tommy’s Mom’s house- inorder to get a knife and shovel to dispose of the “dead” made guy in Henry’s trunk- Tommy tells his mom that they hit a deer and its-claw-hoof, got caught in the grill and needs to be removed- – Did someone stop by AF with much the same story and did someone’s car smell like a dead skunk afterward’s-?
Come on- guys- there is no such thing as a perfect crime- someone out there knows alot- maybe they don’t know they know, but in hindsight maybe they suspect- come forward- Please-

RE:P.S. Aselin Debison
i agree with mom3.0. le does not serve their purpose well with silence. i do hope that their strategy works out well. according to schedule, important dna will back by june. if nothing there, unfortunately, consider the case cold.
Mom3.0, I concur, knowing how some of these kids operate is a key component. I have a FB page and since I teach school, I am very particular about who and what I allow on my page. But, I browse thru some of the other pages…students, old friends/classmates, etc…and it is disturbing what some people put on FB…and what they deem acceptable behavior. I am also a certified victim advocate, therefore I see activities and behaviors that previously were considered unacceptable but are quickly becoming cultural norms.
Re: the pics at AF. Like everyone else, I would love to know the circumstances surrounding the pictures. Why, why, and why. The reason I don’t think jb was with the photog is that the pics are of nothing….maybe its the “what you don’t see” variety pics…its almost as if they drove out to see or visit jb and she wasn’t there, so they wandered around taking pics. We have had people come out to our place and if no one is home, maybe wander to the barn and see the horses…or stop on the side of the road and pet the horses over the fence. Strange at the very least.
Forgive me if this has been covered, but my #1 question is does anyone know the hunting laws in Va.? And if AF leases to deer hunters? I know in some states you used to be able to deer hunt from the side of the road….if you saw it you could kill it. My point is that if Va. has similar hunting regs, a car/truck on the side of the road would maybe go unnoticed or at the least dismissed as nothing more than hunters.
Oddly enough, in our Sunday paper today, there was an article about unsolved murders. Not surprisingly, the biggest obstacle is witness cooperation and the lack thereof. Mom3, you gave me that “light-bulb moment” when you posted that someone KNOWS something. Absolutely they do…and I have the feeling that it will be the tarp they found that may be the connection. Someone knows that it is missing, or when it was bought or SOMETHING about it. SomeBODY knows someTHING!
Good morning Blink. Hi Susanm, I’m just quickly checking in…saw my name. I was not the one who brought up an older half-brother, but I do remember the discussion very early on about someone with the same name as Mr. Bass. It would have been in one of the earlier threads about Anchorage Farm…possibly even before our researchers keekee and TotalAm got here…so maybe acho? There was a link to a story about a 45 yr. old DB who has his own PR firm in D.C. I don’t remember any confirmation that he was related to DB of AF.
Gil Harrington’s Blog from May 24th, 2010
Part of the struggle with connecting to joy is the guilt, for even wanting it or considering joy a reasonable possibility or a right? How could we find pleasure when you are finished: never to feel anything again? Somehow I must accept that it is OK for me to live, even though you are dead. That is a tough one.
It is difficult to let go of all the plans, dreams and assumptions I didn’t even know I had made about the future and you being part of it. Morgan, I miss you my sweet girl. We are all trying but this is so, so hard. I say the proper answer when asked, “Yes, I am OK” or even say I’m doing fine. None of us are really fine, OK is a stretch; but we put on a mask everyday. Hoping that, eventually pretence trickles away and it really does start to feel ok.
We are grappling and wrestling with transformation. What an impasse. Reluctant to let go of the lives we were planning to live, but that no longer exist. Unwilling to move into the lives we have been given. Paralysis? Or is it a necessary hiatus that will allow us to grow into theses new skins?

My dearest Mrs. Harrington You are not alone. Many people hurt and cry with you for Morgan. Complete strangers from around the world fell in love with Morgan and your family. I know that nothing helps enough. Adam Walch’s family and other families know. Only time will help you. My favorite saying is, How do you eat an elephant?
One bite at a time. One bite at a time.
localcvillegirl-quote from your post “There was a link to a story about a 45 yr. old DB who has his own PR firm in D.C. I don’t remember any confirmation that he was related to DB of AF.”
I remember the discussion also but I don’t remember the actual thread. I believe it was determined that there was no connection to the Anchorage Farm Mr. Bass. I could be wrong, but that’s my recollection. Seems this Mr. Bass is (or was) in a bit of a mess because of an alleged drunken incident on an airline.

I don’t often comment about personal feelings posted, but the above thoughts from the Harrington family, I think, describes oh so well what happens after an unexpected death. Having that death occur because of violence has to only intensify the grieving process. First waking in the morning is the worst. During the very first moment of waking, before real consciousness kicks in, the world is okay, then the horror or sadness of what has happened comes rushing back. For a few seconds, it’s hard to catch your breath.
Dearest Gil, Dr. H and Alex,
There are no words to convey our deepest sorrow.
Although we have just come to know you through Morgan’s death,
we feel a very real love for you, a deep connection to your shiny girl. Your pain and suffering is so deep. We also feel it, and long for a way to help you through this. We want to take away your pain, yet we don’t have the answers. Nothing can change the outcome.
My hope is, that our love and prayers, can continue to strengthen you and give you a renewed sense of hope each day. Leaning on God will sustain you, even in your darkest days. I have to believe that our God of mercy and justice and love will see this through until the end.
Morgan is with us always. Her spirit lives on.
2-4-1 always,
Crimewriter or Cat:

So many people define themselves as something, i pride myself in loving anythin different”

mynamehere, Hi- could you elaborate on these thoughts? I would be very interested to hear your interpretation on the art work- TIA
This is a Hermetic labyrinth. It states that it is an enigma right within the piece, so we can know this is a puzzle for others to solve. I would love the opportunity to view it in its entirety and have at it, but viewing such a small portion, makes that impossible. The languages included are the traditional languages, as it is said that Alchemy began with Adam, others with Moses thus Genesis being relevant. All religions share an understanding of esoteric tenets with Hermeticism. The symbols in this piece are particular to an alchemist. Alchemy is considered the operation of the sun, which we see drawn throughout this piece.
I believe the tree in #12 is the tree of alchemy.
The brim of the hat in #12 is the symbol for eternity.
The words ‘les labyrinthom de la liberta’ is a book ‘Labyrinths of Freedom’ by Philippe Valat, but also Labyrinth is a band with a song ‘die for freedom’ Also note that the ancient custom of walking the labyrinth is said to set one free.
We see the eye or Horus “Learn to see and be the immortal in the eye of Horus” is stated by the O.T.O
An interpretation of ‘The threefold life of the inner man’ may be what is in #14. The rather large, seemingly swollen forearm holding a machete and the shape of an eye cut from the leg are obviously symbolic, but I don’t have a guess as to the meaning there.
The clock may be a reference to the vision of a ‘world clock’, which is actually several clocks on different planes operating on different scales and colors as a symbol of Wolfgang Pauli’s unconscious apprehension of some grand cosmic order.
This piece likely is a personal account of the alchemist and his experiments and his visions through his practice; sort of a Ripley Scroll. I can’t do a drive-by with partial pictures and even viewing the entire piece, and I only possess a layman’s knowledge. Although anyone can attempt to interpret this, it is likely only one who is in the Hermetic tradition who could actually do so.
This piece is not by a long-stretch mere babble. It is done by one skilled in the Hermetic traditions. Its amazing intricacies depict a journey. The lack of anything ‘stuck’ in the labyrinths is important as well, as from what I can see, it is not depicted as holding the minotaur.The purpose or symbology for the labyrinth may be to keep out benevolent spirits from the knowledge contained in the piece as was an ancient purpose for constructing a labyrinth.

RE: Yes, I copied and posted those quoted blogs from JC’s myspace page…Choose “view all blogs and comments”. Scroll to the bottom and then read to the top, (past to most recent)
He bought the farm in 1983, from what I can tell, if he does, he would have to have had the same name, or he never lived there.
Does that help at all?
B
After being up half the nite reading old blogs/comments from various articles about Morgan, I ran across one that said the farmhouse jb lives in is also rented as apartments to others. Anyone know anything about this?
Seems quiet today

RE: Well legally, first off, in Virginia, if you’re a licensed hunter and you’re hunting on private property you must sign a pledge card that contains the owner information (text copied and pasted below) and keep it with you at all times while hunting on the private property.
{SPORTSMAN’S PLEDGE
In return for the privilege of using private property, I agree to:
1. Respect the landowner’s property, only go where he designates and assume liability for my actions and my person while on this property.
2. Take every precaution against littering and fire.
3. Obey the game, fish, and other wildlife laws.
4. Observe all safety precautions and the traditions of good sportsmanship. I hereby absolve the landowner of all liability for my person while engaged in recreation on his property.
It’s unlawful to cast a light attached to a vehicle or from a vehicle beyond a roadway upon places used by deer without written permission of the landowner or at anytime while in the possession of a rifle, shotgun, pistol, archery tackle, or speargun.
You’ll find general hunting guideline here as there’s too many to list: http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/hunting/regulations/general.asp
*It goes without saying that any convicted felon cannot, (or at least isn’t supposed to) hunt, due to not being able to possess a firearm.
A while back I read this about the area and hunting…
{“Even though signs on the gates say “Private” we’re learning that Waldemar Drive is a common spot for trespassers to go, and it’s a way to access the back of Anchorage Farm.
Albemarle County law enforcement are aware of problems with trespassing in the rural parts of the county.
“If they see a deer that they would like to take possession of, [spotlighters] shoot the deer, and go on somebody else’s property and kill the deer, put the deer in their vehicle, and drive away,” says Sgt. Chan Gianniny with the Albemarle County Sheriff’s Office.
It’s a common type of trespassing in this area during hunting season, neighbors say. In fact, when the owner of Anchorage Farm, David Bass, discovered Harrington’s remains on his property, he assumed they were that of a deer.”}
Mynamehere-
Thanks for doing that. I have been looking for symbols/letter etc one by one. Hard when you dont know the whole theory etc.
I have run into alot of theories about our #7. Curious to anyone’s thoughts.

RE: Or even fishing as a man or young boy as I’ve posted this before… http://www.fishingworks.com/lakes/virginia/albemarle/alberene/blandemar-farm-pond/
Or here:
http://www.hookandbullet.com/fishing-blandemar-farm-pond-crozet-va/
{Blandemar Farm Pond is a reservoir located just 7.1 miles from Crozet, in the state of Virginia, United States, near Arrowhead, VA. So grab your favorite fly fishing rod and reel, and head out to Blandemar Farm Pond.

And please remember to check with the local Fish and Wildlife department to ensure the reservoir is open to the public, and that you have the necessary fishing license. Now what are you waiting for, get fishing!}
Somebody knows this area…
Gil,
I just read a blog entry from a few days ago. You mustn’t give in to the pressure to stand still. You are entitled to laugh, to love, to smile again. And you must. For Alex if not for you yet. He needs you – now more than before Morgan was taken. He needs to know it’s okay for him to continue to grow, to learn, to love, to laugh.
As the surviving sibling (my brother was killed when he was 19 and I was 22) – I know that becoming an only child after being one of a pair is a nightmare. He now faces a different future – he has lost his life-long partner who shared the same memories of your family vacations and family jokes and family fun. As with you, no one else can fill that role for him. He now faces a different future alone caring for parents and facing uncertain responsibilities. He now faces a different future with some new pressures. If he doesn’t marry and have children – you and Dan won’t have grandchildren – how does that knowledge effect him?
I truly don’t intend to supply guilt – but I do intend to supply motivation to keep moving – keep trying – keep allowing yourself to experience joy. If it comes when you see a butterfly or a flower or a baby’s smile or a thoughtful moment – please do not suppress it out of a sense of obligation to Morgan. She wouldn’t want that for you or for her brother. You have a parental obligation to Alex requiring you to continue to put one foot in front of another.
Having watched my mother all of these years – barely making it some days – I do know a little of what you are experiencing.
Please, Please, Please let us at BOC and FindMorgan and other supportive groups keep Morgan’s memory alive *with* you. Please allow us to shoulder some of the responsibility of finding her killer. Please allow yourself to smile. Please take time for yourself and for your son. Please model happiness for his sake.
