maybe lining up the medallions with the bible pages matching the numbers will spell something out.

wait - have we talked at all about the significance of one of the vials, standing upright and unscrewed/uncorked, on the top right corner of the "path" note?! i just re-read "Would you like a flame to light a corner of this darkness?" and the meaning/message of something in a "corner of darkness" really struck me as similar to this vial on the corner of the page surrounded by dark. any thoughts?

Perhaps it is M's way of indicating that the message is his promised 'flame'? I'm in the camp that finds it unlikely that we're supposed to actually use anything from the Alchemy kits (at least at this stage). I know someone mentioned that they held their Bible page under blacklight and nothing hidden was revealed, so I also doubt the use of invisible ink. But I suppose people with the Bible pages that seem to match up to the sun/moon/earth note could investigate that (it wouldn't hurt). My Bible page does not match any of the numbers given in that note. However, in that one reply to a question, M has said that people don't need a kit to crack the code, that kits can be lost and the story can progress, so that still leads me to think that the key to cracking the puzzle is something everyone has access to (for example, meaning that while the verses on the Bible pages may be important, one does not need to physically have a Bible page but perhaps just a scan of it to crack the puzzle (so no invisible ink, etc.)). So while I believe nothing M does is insignificant/accidental, I also believe he wants anyone to be able to participate no matter what stage they stumble across the story.

so M just posted a note with "things to take" circled. Obviously meaning to only pay attention to the circled numbers. Does that help anyone figure it out?

"I've given you a decision to make- Things to lose, things to take Just as she’s about ready to cut it up She says, wait a minute honey I’m gonna add it up” these are lyrics to the song “Add it Up”. Adding the circled numbers gives us 119, but I am not sure where to go from there or even if that’s what we are supposed to be adding. Maybe there’s something about Psalms 119 we are supposed to see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_119

"119 in France is a free emergency number for beaten children." Were looking for a child, right?

Also I subtracted the un circled numbers (things to lose) and got 56. 119:56 "This I had, because I kept thy precepts."

I also tried adding them just by columns and got 22:97, but my Google search doesn't seem to bring up any Bible books that have a chapter 22 verse 97, so I don't know how useful that will be. Maybe someone with more Bible knowledge (or a Bible on hand) can chime in.

Well verse 1:19 talks about a child.

At this point im just spouting anything mildly related that might make sense to someone else. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ununennium119 is its atomic number and alchemy is elements.

Well verse 1:19 talks about a child. What book of the Bible? Do you mean chapter 1 verse 19 (of which book)? Also, I'm not convinced we're looking for the actual child. The goal of this puzzle solving is that someone will be rewarded with the Orange Key and the story will progress. So we may be looking for a location where the child in the story may be, (perhaps given in coordinates or a keyword revealed by all this number adding), or something along those lines. Someone on Tumblr mentioned that perhaps we're looking for a church of some kind, which could also be possible. I'm thinking of the puzzle that was solved to complete the prologue and award the Blue Key: it involved a phrase that had to be given to M to show that someone had solved the puzzle. I'm assuming this will be similar, in that there will be a key word/phrase (the name of a place, perhaps a person, or a line from a Bible verse) that we must communicate to M to show we've solved the puzzle. So this 1:19 verse that you're speaking of could be that key phrase.
