Hi, this is my first post. There's a lot of information to even try and keep up with, much less try and contribute anything to the process!
Anyway, I think it was in this thread that someone mentioned that "osiris" comes up a lot when trying to solve the anagrams. Well, I just found this reference in an article on Serapis:
"Linguistically, the god's name is a fusion of Osiris and the bull Apis, which by the Greek period might be said to have represented the essence of Egyptian religion. In fact, a cult of this combination god, named Osirapis (or Userhapi, Asar-Hapi), had existed in Egypt prior to the rule of the Ptolemies."
The whole article is here:

Although this is all probably not relevant, it is still interesting to note that Osiris/Serapis was the god of the afterlife/underworld.

I fell asleep and started dreaming about the usual, ya know dead girls, virgin sacrifices and creepy occult religions, then my dreams took a turn for the worst. . .I began dreaming about ANAGRAMS!!
I woke up in a cold sweat. So I had to come see how the progress was coming, nothing yet i see
well keep it up, we'll break it eventually

yeah, it's got some relevance to Thelema
do a search for Osiris and Serapis. You'll find a few discussions we've had. I know I've said a bunch in the past about it.

You took the words right out of my fingers, so to speak. I was just tinkering with the photo and I saw the same "advice, wait."
