[Sorry, fans. Despite the fact that White Raven plagiarized all of his photos from Manson's copyright, I was asked not to re-publish his pictures. I have removed anything from his site until I can download a free version that I was given permission to use. It is what it is. In other words, White Raven is a vehement liar who is only jealous that I solved the path first (and in only two days!). Help others find my site by posting links. Thanks]
The inevitable 'Red Herring' that few identify correctly. It isn't merely a false clue. a red herring is a series of accurate clues followed by a false clue. (I'll skip the long tale about smoked herring and training hunting dogs. Wiki it if you don't know the history.) Manson gives us a fairly good guide for most of the way. But, be alert to changes in the maze. (Matrix) Even in Inception, the little tales, like dead end of short films, were lessons in what can be done or undone in the Maze/Dream World. There were three lessons for Ari, if you recall, who played Ariadne, the assistant to Theseus in his entrance and escape from the Minotaur's Labyrinth.
The three things you should most know about Maze when trying to comprehend it, is (drumroll please)
1. Abecendary - Not in order mind you, but an alphabet none-the-less. We start out with the ancient alphabet right on page one, visually. Some letters are very obvious, some very discreet. [For example, almost everyone seems to have missed the 'W' on page 22. The connecting clue is H2O or Water.]
2. Steganography, which includes Cryptography or Crytonomy (Poe's word for it), the study and use of secret messaging and hidden meanings. Poe was a master at deciphering coded messages and wrote about it, too.
3. Hermeneutic ( or a Hermeneutic Circle ) A subject open to different interpretations. Thus, if you know very little about Poe, only perhaps the most obvious clue of the scene from 'The Cask of Amontillado' will be discovered. While some non-intended references may be brought in by a reader's determination and imagination. (My list of songs is basically all of my own subjectivity. I highly doubt Mr. Manson foresaw all such implications.) Was the Sphinx a reference to Poe's story by the same name? Or a mere coincidence?
I found this online (sounds like a clue from Manson):
1.) I'll tip my hat if the two of you can solve this
2.) You can get into
these two shoes only if you don't go anywhere.
3.) You will find two names on the table, and they go
together like doughnut and hole.
4.) You must choose
between two pictures.
5.) There are no two ways you can read this sign
6.)You can see that another two pictures
demonstrate their own kind of symmetry."Look carefully at the entrance:
