ReplyDeletein the city of lima is very important the old touches of old civilization
ReplyDeleteen.m.wikipedia.org - Liminal deity - Wikipedia
ReplyDeleteI like that Mario Valenzuela II - with Lima - it could have been a variation of Limina - plus.google.com - JoJo Stratton - Google+ which is often interpreted as threshold, doorway or a connection to another "place" - there is also this meaning - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liminality which could go to a disorientation, a median between in a ritual or similar. And there is a similar concept to what Mario shared - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liminal_being
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! Via Obscura forever! lol Nice to hear from you again Edgar Allan Wright
ReplyDeleteI totally share the thought of Mario Valenzuela II
ReplyDeleteThe touch of Lima is referring to Latin deities, home's and good fortune's gods, one of whose other exponents is Janus, the god of thresholds, two-headed, which later in tradition became - together with Egyptian vision and mysterious cults - God of the time - of the future and of the past, linked in some texts also to the Ouroboros , and the Miðgarðsormr
it means you shook ethans hand

ReplyDeleteThere was also an Oracle that visitors called Limaq, which was later destroyed and replaced with a church.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking touched by the lima as in being (divinely/cosmically) inspired or influenced by entities from outside this reality. However, the oracle notion works considering the nature of one of the characters I created as an NPC who had an Archetype of a Muse.
ReplyDeleteOf course there is also the spoiler reason which parallels recent ingress related events.
This is fascinating. I had suspected that it was a reference to November Lima (aka 1331). But these possibilities were quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteupon further research i found that oracle was believed to be a wooden idol representing a two-headed humanoid.
ReplyDeleteNot many of those laying around
Could it have something to do with November Lima? If so why?
ReplyDeleteEdgar Allan Wright I am glad to hear that you are reading through our sessions. You mentioned before that you felt that Essex is ready for a new step. Well, you have at your fingertips a group that is getting better and better with Remote Participation.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to bust open the doors of creation even wider. 😎😇
ReplyDeletei will closed the doors ¬_¬ we not want inmigrations of the space or other dimensions ¬_¬
ReplyDeleteEdgar Allan Wright It could be a November Lima reference, but Ethan Lepouttre might have some misgivings on everyone wanting to get touched by the Lima.
ReplyDeletefound another possible "touch by the Lima" reference. A town in Portugal called Ponte de Lima sits along the river Limia(Lima in Protugese).
ReplyDeleteThe Romans identified the river with the mythical Lethe. One of the 5 rivers of the underworld Hades.
Trevor Grimm i suggest you read the RPE session in question.
ReplyDeleteMelissa Hades... i can see how it works given the plot I wrote.
Here's the link to the transcript of the Essex Online RPE "The Aftermath of Via Obscura"

In phonetic alphabet (NL = November Lima) Lima replaced Love for L only recently. Than it could mean Touched by Love.
ReplyDeleteTouched by the light. Light in a way could man XM. Maybe ancients had a better understanding of XM than we do. The Shaper-N'Zeer conflict might have wiped out this repository of information.
ReplyDeleteAlternatively it could mean touched by another race. Maybe Lima was a name for a sect of exogenous beings.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to see you have read our Remote Participation Event Edgar Allan Wright ! I hope you enjoyed the reads on them, they were certainly interesting for us.
ReplyDeleteMario Valenzuela II and I suggest you bone up on double entendres
ReplyDeleteTrevor Grimm those double entendres you used, sad to say, were not something to pat yourself on the back over due to their predictability.
ReplyDeletehaters going to hate mario: youtube.com - In Defense Of Puns
