Not much.

Top left: this mirror

Top right:
Challice from an unidentified piece of art. (However, if you're bored, I could rant to you for paragraphs about the meaning of challices)

Middle left:
A picture of Jorge Cardinal Medina-Estevez. (Look it up on Wikipedia) Someone said the name of the book he's holding, but I forget.

Middle right:
An upside-down illustration of drowning feet tied to a weight. Unidentified origin.

Bottom left:
A photo of a crowning baby.

Bottom right:
A blurry screenshot of a website. It looks like a Blogger.com blog. Remains too blurry to identify.

Couldn't that just be a random pic of an "evil priest"?

Possibly. That'd be lame, though.

The origin of the image and an article attached have been found. So, no. There is no more speculation around that image.

I was thinking about the significance of chalices too, actually, and almost made a post about it, but then decided everyone probably knew the bits I was going to point out. So I'm glad to see someone else had the same thought!

Thanks for the summary. I'll see what I can do, although I don't know that my "worst" is any good.

I'm off to bed. This is boring. I will be back tomorrow. I hope there's something when I wake up. Later folks!

If we're going that route, then someone (assuming the evil priest) will announce the new leader of the religion? Something along those lines, I can't phrase it right

However, I am following everyone's lead and heading to bed.

Well there's someone on the left holding a chalice, and there's a woman or a person on the right laying down, and for some reason I feel like it's placed somewhere rocky. Don't look at me, I'm probably completely wrong. Ugh it's hard to describe.

I don't know if someone has said this already--please forgive me if they have!

But couldn't the hand holding the chalice be blue to signify death? It looks like a creepy dead hand to me.

Also, when Jesus was praying right before he was arrested, he asked if it were possible for God to "let this cup pass from me." In other words, if there were any other way so that he didn't have to go through with it--then he said, "not my will, but Yours." That may be WAY off in left field, but it makes me think of Cassie not wanting Bree to have to go through with it, or possible herself.

Yeah, I interpret it that way. I think his face and the book being blurred out support this, it's showing who he is specifically isn't important. If the answer to the "who" question is us, and the mirror represents this, then we didn't need to know that the mirror was made by Dominic Gerard from eLuxury, we just needed to know that it's a mirror. So, we don't need to know that this guy is Jorge Cardinal Medina-Estevez, just that he's a priest guy. That's how I see it. I don't really see how he specifically could really relate after looking into it.

Doubt this is a help, but a friend told me this upon looking at the picture

All of the images except for the mirror and journal show a body part.

And what do mirrors show? A reflection/reversal of whatever you put in front of them.

Additionally: GJ-Great Journal LJ-Live Journal.

Even though this may not help, I'm throwing caution to the wind.

I've had two kids. Both were born with thick, full heads of hair. Not all birth is bloody. Mine we're both emergency c-sections, but I watched an AWFUL lot of birthing videos, and yes, even attended the birth of a friends child, so I've seen it in person. That is, in fact, a crowning baby.

Agree 100%, again, Nos. You're on a roll!

My wife has birthed 4 children, 3 naturally, 1 c-section. I saw this first-hand only a year ago when our baby girl, Autumn, was born.

(Trivia: anyone know how rare it is to birth naturally after having a c-section?)

Anyone find a link to this photo to match up?

Those letters should not be considered as a clue. Heres why:

The function of www.tinyurl.com is to create shorter links, it does this by generating a random combination of letters and/or numbers based on the url that it was given, meaning that the same link will generate the same tinyurl link.

For anyone thinking that cassie purposely created a unique link so that the tinyurl would infact generate GJ/LJ, consider this:

She used www.imageshack.us for the picture, which is the host of the original masked link. The reason she could not have purposely created a unique link to generate GL/JL is because no matter what filename you upload to this image hosting site, it will add 2-4 random letters and numbers to the end of the filename in an attempt to avoid creating duplicate links. If you noticed the link, it has img66 at the beginning, imageshack has about 100 different servers, so trying to purposely create a link to generate GJLJ is practicly impossible, as each server number would offer a different generation of a tinyurl.

GJLG7 is 100% random.

Hmm, I always heard that it's never done...shows what I know.
