is there a 10 pm ritual related to Thelema, or some kind of nightly thing one must do? daniel almost said something but didnt There is in general "high magick" tradition a series of "Adorations of the Sun". Adherents of Thelema could very concievably perform them as a daily ritual - a little like a Muslim's daily prayers. They are performed 4 times a day - sunrise, noon, sunset, and midnight, but the sunrise and midnight rituals can be performed upon awakening and before going to bed if the times aren't convenient. If her usual bedtime is sometime shortly after 10 p.m., Daniel could have been mistakenly thinking it was to be performed at that time rather than sometime before bed. In the thread about the video where she decides she's going to the party, someone asked what she was doing in the last frame when she was facing the door and reaching upwards. It looked like she was just fiddling with her pictures, but she was also standing roughly the position that the midnight adoration is performed in. The ritual just involves standing in certain positions and directions (depending on the time of the day) and speaking a short paragraph invoking various names of Egyptian gods who were involved in the myths about the sun and the chariot that carries it across the skies. It's less than 30 seconds long. No props are used, which hurts the theory, as it seemed Daniel thought she was looking for something of note in the bag. Of course, he could have just been thinking about the pill she took shortly thereafter. Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with or believe in the rituals above. I had a passing interest in the occult some 15 years ago and still have a lot of the books lying around, and was immediately reminded of this ritual I read about in Donald Michael Kraig's popular "Modern Magick" |

where'd you find that and do you have a link to any pics with similar postures to the one lg15 has assumed in the end of house arrest?

They made a slight error in the time. They posted it at the supposed time it took place. They claimed it was 10:00pm in the video. As of now, it was posted "4 hours ago" at west USA time 7:03 pm. Well, I'm on Eastern time. This also gives us a clue as to the IC location. They must be on Eastern time. And if it isn't a clue, then they really messed up. dude, it was a video of 10 pm from the night before. How do you know this? Does they say that it was September 12th? If so, I missed it. |

where'd you find that and do you have a link to any pics with similar postures to the one lg15 has assumed in the end of house arrest? As I said, it's from Donald Michael Kraig's "Modern Magick". I don't have a pic, but he describes it as holding your hand up "... as if in greeting. You should be in the same position as seen in old cowboy films where an Indian raises his right hand and says, 'How!'" It's not exactly right (one foot should be forward too, and you probably aren't supposed to be holding a glass of lemonade), but I thought I'd mention it after seeing someone wonder what she was doing at the very end. Still just looks like she's fiddling with her pictures to me. This whole LG15 thing is the first thing that's made me want to brush off my dusty giant hardcover "Golden Dawn" and imcomprehensible "Magick in Theory and Practice" since I was an angry teenager trying to tick off my Catholic parents.  |

In house arrest, lg said that Andrea and Paul invited them to hang out 'tomorrow' night. Since the vid was posted Sunday, that would make the sneak-out Monday.

How do you know this? Does they say that it was September 12th? If so, I missed it. They never say it, but it stands to reason that the footage is probably from the 11th, as she said in "House Arrest" on the 10th that Andrea and Paul had invited them to go out the next evening. It's just taken a couple of days to get edited and uploaded. |

It's just taken a couple of days to get edited and uploaded. True, but it can't entirely be proven. So we could just as easily assume it was the night of the 13th just as we could easily assume it was the night of the 11th. Perhaps she's being a real rebel and has snuck out more times than we think. Lol, just a theory. I still think it could be a clue as to the IC location. |

No, it's just a simple flat palm, fingers together, raised to head height with the other hand to your side. Like a traffic cop signalling "stop". Some of the pictures on that site are rather amusing. "The Sign of the Goddess or Fig", aka: "Gotchyernose". |

I think they're going to clone her. On a serious note I too am disappointed this was posted by LG and not DB. She wasn't happy with the filming of the tablets so it doesn't make sense that she'd post it. It would be more fun if DB posted it and we had to "seek it out". I feel like they've just sold-out for more views. Sad  |

I very much agree with Britgirl.
They have sold out for more views. It detracts a little from the IC stuff. Yea, everyone knows they're fake, but now they're 1) selling out for more views and 2) getting sloppier about it all.

It was posted as LG15 and not DB because it actually featured her, unlike any of the DB account videos.
I mean, even when people were ferverently defending the fact she was real, stuff like the argument over lighting the candelabra got posted. Her taking an iron pill was less notable than freaking out over lighting a candle, and it still got posted. Why is this any more notable, other than the fact we're aware of a scripted storyline at this point?
