Some things that I have been working on here, for what they are worth.
We know the other little square picture in the red and black poem picture hasn't been properly explained. It's either aligned with the cup in the picture, or the words of the text - the "black blob" covers the N of NOT - almost like it is cut out, leaving just OT.
1. OT is apparently the Mongolian goddess of marriage and "queen of fire". Although Mongolian mythology hasn't come up in the story so far, fire was one of the symbols that Bree held up on her Enochian flash cards.
2. The bottom half of the image looks like it could be depicting a ring around the ring finger of the hand on the chalice. Another sign that this is a picture of a marriage ceremony and wedding chalice?
3. The two lines "The picture has not yet commenced, So depicts a rose in soil fenced." are two if the wackiest lines of poetry that I've ever seen. They just don't fit here. We already know that, for whatever reason, Cassie doesn't like to hide her clues in open view. We already know that the very last line is SERAPIS CODES, HI NOVICE, WAIT contains the hidden double anagram of CASSIE PROSED A VOICE WITHIN. Considering the location of these lines of verse above and below the little picture, we should look very closely at them. I don't think they should be taken literally, just like HI NOVICE WAIT wasn't - We obviously weren't meant to WAIT but needed to go on and find Franks blog page.
3a. Why use "SO depicts" and not "IT depicts", when IT would scan better? Notice that the second line is another prompt from Cassie that we have an anagram.
SO DEPICTS A ROSE = CODES IN SERAPIS
SO DEPICTS A ROSE IN = CODES INTO SERAPIS
However we already tried anagramming the remainder of the line and didn't get far. But Cassie is trying to direct us at another double anagram here, I am sure of it. We should examine every line surrounding the little picture very carefully.
3b. Why use "THE picture" and not "THIS picture", and also quite how does a picture commence? Notice that the first half of this line:
THE PICTURE HAS = HER CUP IS AT THE (or THE CUP IS AT HER)
That has just got to be significant, right???
3c. So perhaps we should look at anagrams of NOT YET COMMENCED or perhaps OT YET COMMENCED as the N appears to have been cut out? However I'm afraid I didn't get far with that.
3d. It appears that the rest of the little picture joins the NOT with ROSE from the next line. At this point I got a little desperate and decided that perhaps ROSE OT YET COMMENCED was worth a shot. From that I got:
HER CUP IS AT THE | MOOTED SECT CEREMONY
HER CUP IS AT THE | MODOC CEMETERY STONE
Unfortunately Modoc County doesn't seem right, as I was expecting LA based clues? Disappointing, especially considering this picture. There's also a Solomon Modoc Wheeler buried at Rose Hills. Shame Modoc it his middle name and not surname.
One thing that I think will hinder us here is that, if we are looking for a drop site, then it's going to be a proper name, and anagram programs aren't going to show anything up for most proper names.
Edit: Oh, and sorry for the long post but hopefully something of my rambling will be of use to someone?
One final request, if anyone is thinking of going and looking for clues at the above locations, please be respectful of others loved ones final resting places - If there are clues (and I strongly suspect there's nothing there) they will be obvious and in plain sight. You won't need to disturb anything.
