Participant5. Life of True Love Baby???? (She’ll try to get from Snowing baby #2) I think I know who Zelena would want to try to bring back: CORA!
Maybe it works like the exchange of life we have seen with the candle that gave Coras life to Rumple. This time Zelena needs someones life to get Cora back. And who could have more “life” than an true love baby?
@WickedRegal You might be up to something. And the resurrection idea reminded me, that Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld/afterlife is shown with green skin. He was also associated with annual flooding of the Nile, vegetation and agriculture (thus the green). Maybe more interesting, the patron and protector of Lower Egypt was a goddess called Wadjet, which means the papyrus colored or green one, often shown as snake-headed or as snake (a cobra). The crown of Lower Egypt is a the Red Crown (Deshret). Wadjet was also seen as protectors of mothers and particular during childbirth. Her sister was Nekhbet, goddess of Upper Egypt, the mother of mothers, depicted as vulture or with the White Crown of Upper Egypt. Together they became protectors of all Egypt and the pharaos. Probably just coincidence. But something to spin more ideas, speculation
I really like that analogy. but I doubt it will have any influence on the story

ParticipantToo much going on there. Need someone to do that screen shot by screen shot thing on Tumblr to be clear on it.
EDIT: like the one on page two…. well done.

KeymasterZELENA WANTS HER MOMMY BACK FROM THE GRAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm. Maybe. But I feel like that parallels a little to close in story to WL. Would they do it on both shows?

ParticipantOne of the symbols looks like it has three Tomoe. Another one might be the All-seing Eye.
Also I think these Symbols are surrounded by a serpent eating his own tail. That symbol is called Ouroboros.“There were thousands and thousands of forms of joy in the world, but that all were essentially one and the same, namely, the joy of being able to love.”

That was an important symbol in LOST as well. Mrs Hawkings wore one as a brooch to represent the cyclical nature of time and fate. (“That man is wearing red shoes….” <--one of the creepiest lines EVER in LOST) It's a common TV trope: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ouroboros

Participantok so some of the symbols i can tell are starting from top going clockwise
a face within a triangle? could be the Greenman? he’s a trickster(wizard of oz?) or water symbol there are alot of the element symbols there?
circle: means Spirit is a bridge between the physical and the spiritual. In cosmological models, spirit is the transitory material between the physical and celestial realms. Within the microcosm, spirit is the bridge between body and soul.
The triquetra symbol: this has been used for the past two centuries as a symbol of special things and persons that are threefold, such as Mother, Daughter and Grandmother – Past, Present and Future -and particularly the Holy Trinity, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. A common description of the symbol includes a circle that goes through the three unified loops of the Triquetra.
Next is the fire symbol: In the practicing alchemists point of view, fire is a catalyst to both initiating and completing metaphysical demonstrations. This symbol signifies upward mobility, forward motion, rising flames and aspirations to solar embodiment (in both literal and philosophical senses). To move into the energy of fire is to be utterly consumed, transformed and lifted out of limitation
The eye of horus: The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power and good health.
Pentacle(Pentagram): To some, the pentagram represents the spiritual aspects of life and seeking secret knowledge. To others the five points symbolize the four directions of north, south, east and west with the fifth point representing sanctity of spirit.
I’m not sure on this one.. similar to the wheel of dharma(which is about reincarnation), or the horned god symbol i just can’t pinpoint which it is on its own anyone know?
last one i think is earth: Earth is one of the four classical elements. This element symbolizes physical sensation. It also represents the manifestation of matter.
basically sounds like where you would summon back your father? did neal really bring back rumple does rumple have a yr memory missing too?

ParticipantI’m really hoping that Neal failed to summon his father from the dead because Rumple was not dead.
Also, I think Belle will be able to decipher the writings. And, who came up with this plan to summon the dead. To resurrect? Neal? Belle? Lumiere?
Is this on the Dark Castle grounds? Has it always been there, but Rumple had it hidden?March 24, 2014 at 10:29 pm #255350RumplesGirl
KeymasterAlso, I think Belle will be able to decipher the writings. And, who came up with this plan to summon the dead. To resurrect? Neal? Belle? Lumiere?
I think Lumiere probably helped with the plan but Belle did all the reading and figuring it out. Smart cookie, that one.
Is this on the Dark Castle grounds? Has it always been there, but Rumple had it hidden?
Wacky crack: this is actually the spot where Rumple became the Dark One.

ParticipantA question about the picture of Rumple, kneeling in the snow. Where did those clothes come from? It’s not his Mr. Gold suit that he disappeared in. It’s not the outfit he was wearing when Regina’s curse hit. It’s not the rags he was wearing when he became the dark one.

Thanks for the Tomoe link, perhaps that’s why I was thinking the shape of that one looked familiar, but I couldn’t pinpoint it. I can’t tell if two of the segments in it are connected or not, because there’s a snowflake in the way. LOL The pointed bits on it made the curved bits remind me a bit of the scythe, like the grim reaper carries.
And yes, that’s totally an Ouroboros now you mention it. I’d been looking at just the little symbol on its own and thinking how it almost looked like a person, but DUH, it’s actually a head. The Ouroboros is rather fitting, I mean…
The Ouroboros often symbolize self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things such as the phoenix which operate in cycles that begin anew as soon as they end. It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished.
…sounds like the Dark One to me.

Is this on the Dark Castle grounds? Has it always been there, but Rumple had it hidden?
I could see it being in the castle grounds, just because Lumiere is gonna be involved in helping them. It looks like Belle’s gonna carry the candelabra out there with them, so Lumiere can guide them, and for practical reasons, I wouldn’t necessarily expect them to have Belle trek for ages through the woods carrying a lit candelabra, and it would also make more sense for Lumiere to know about it in the first place if it was somewhere close by, especially if he perhaps used to be human, working at Rumple’s castle, and rarely (if ever) left the grounds.
I dunno if it’s just that the rendering of the light is a bit off, but I’m wondering if whatever BelleFire do at that circle is actually at a different time to when Rumple rises up…
The second two pics look darker, like it’s later in the day, and in the top pic, the circle is glowing with red in the centre, but in the other one, it’s got the dark stuff flowing in from the edges. Feels like two separate incidents, perhaps? Maybe BelleFire try something but it doesn’t work, and then later on Zelena comes to finish it off? -
