(I've been a lurker here for awhile, but this is my first contribution, so I'm sorry if I've put it on the wrong discussion board. Let me know, and I'll relocate. Also, I'm sorry this got so long.)

It seems like you guys are doing a good job of cooperating to solve Cassie's clues quickly and correctly, but it also feels like some things might be slipping through the cracks. I'm looking at the repeating phrase "the evil priest," which Cassie used in her sonnet, and then in the "WHAT" poem:

"Between the virgin and the beast
Moses armed the evil priest"

Who is the evil priest? This seems fairly important to determine. Based on the page from the Book of Numbers that Cassie left us, I'd have to draw some connection between Moses and his brother Aaron, whom Moses appointed religious leader of the Israelites once they left Egypt. What did Moses arm Aaron with? It wasn't a sword, as the next line suggests. It was the Ten Commandments. This seems relevant because:

"Warns Luke eleven seventeen
Of dangers now and ever been"

Luke 11:17 has been posted elsewhere, but I'll put it here for people who don't want to trawl the boards looking for it:

"But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided] against a house falleth. "

So now we're looking for a divided house, a "house" whose unity is necessary to keep everyone safe and well. What is the biggest division in the storyline? The split between Bree and Daniel (see today's post by Bree for more evidence of this). And who divided Bree and Daniel? Her parents--specifically, her father, since Bree's mother seems to be a minor player at best. And what is the Fifth Commandment? "Honor thy father and mother."

If someone has been armed with the Fifth Commandment to divide Bree and Daniel ("between the virgin and the beast"), it seems to me that "the evil priest" is a reference to BREE'S FATHER.

This seems to be supported by the WHAT poem:

"The evil priest will make the bed"

Bree's father is certainly the one getting her into the situation--i.e., making the bed Bree's going to have to lie in.

Conclusion: Could Bree's father be "the evil priest" Cassie references in both a literal and a figurative way? That is, could he not only be the means by which Bree gets involved in the "ceremony," but also a participant in it? (I know that Bree has said her parents won't be at the ceremony, but at this point I'm willing to assume that she's more than a little naive.)

Again, apologies for length.

So the evil priest has to rape his own daughter? Awesome. Why can't this just be a normal game with severed heads in bags?

[PorcObby]

That is a very well thought out theory. Congratulations. It's a bit disturbing, but very good.

[pcbbc]

An interesting theory. Well done for putting it all together.

Another thing, which I haven't heard mention anywhere, and it was the first thing my friend said to me when I mentioned the eleven days thing (he hasn't been following):

Deuteronomy 1:1

[Kij421]

I don't think the evil priest could be Bree's dad unless she doesn't know about it. She said herself that the Equinox was the last thing she would do with her parents until after the ceremony.

Honestly I don't know where anyone is getting the idea that Bree's father will rape her. I highly doubt that.

OMG TWIN PEAKS

I swear to god, if "Wait" suddenly becomes Cassie saying "I'll see you again in 25 years" while dancing backwards, I'm gonna scream.

/ahhhh Twin Peaks, I miss that show.
