Without going into the boring details, I must share a most wonderful discovery sent to me by the Thems - those disembodied genii who are my very best friends in the cosmos because they picked me to be their queen, of course, but that's another story altogether!!!
Anyway, go to this page, find the mysterious photo of artist Salvador Dali sitting in his library, and decode the clues, if you can because the Thems said only I will know the right answer to the question that crazy Spaniard was asking yours truly!!!!!!!
Now, the person who solves the puzzle first, to which I alone possess the answer, will be awarded a very special prize by me, honorary Grand Mistress of yet another secret society called OTC - if anyone out there knows who they are, send me a private email, please.
Cheers and good luck!

OTC is formally known as the Order of the Croissant, and the Grand Mistress is known as the White Popess, idiot. And by that remark, I mean idiot as in one who does not speak Latin, which I know you do not, Maddie.

Prince Vladicule? Teehee, I only wrote that to pique your interest - so what do you think of my discovery, hmmm? That's certainly a bust of Mary Magdalene, you cannot deny that fact.

Yeeha! I is back, Miz Honey Bee - and I have yer answer, or part of it, I do. First off, that Mr. Dali was one smart fella, and I reckon that thar Raphael paintin' he done put on the wall says it all. Look at the Lord, poor cowpoke, juz takin' off the Cross...and look at Mary Magdalene's hand. It is done inside the arm of Jesus! That is like sayin' they is connected, like relatives...like...

Arghhhhhhhhh! Do I have to explain everything around here? Jesus and Mary Magdalene were man and wife. Wrong answer, Mr. Lone Star. I am shocked by the fact you were not aware of what everyone who is anyone in esoteric circles just knows to be true!! Geez.

ST. GERMAINE OF PIBRAC
Pibrac is the little village in France where Germaine was born
around 1579. She was always a sickly girl and not
pretty. In fact, her right hand was deformed and helpless. Her father paid
little attention to her. Her stepmother did not want her around her own
healthy children. So Germaine slept with the sheep in the barn, even in cold
weather. She dressed in rags and was laughed at by other children. She spent
all day tending the sheep out in the fields. When she came home at night,
her stepmother often screamed at her and beat her.
Yet this poor girl learned to talk with God and to remember that he
was with her all the time. She always managed to get to daily Mass. She left
her sheep in care of her guardian angel. Never once did one wander away from
her shepherd's staff she planted in the ground.
Germaine shared with beggars the little bit of
food she was given to eat. One winter day, her stepmother accused her of
stealing bread. The woman chased her with a stick. But what fell from
Germaine's apron was not bread. It was summer flowers.
By now people no longer made fun of Germaine. In fact, they loved
and admired her. She could have begun to live in her father's house, but she
chose to keep on sleeping in the barn. Then, one morning in 1601, when she
was twenty-two, she was found dead on her straw mattress. Her life of great
suffering was over.
This has to be a part of the mystery - she died on the 15th of June - the month of the Twins - and Pibrac is near
to Toulouse which isn't far from RLG. Something is up - more about Ste. Germaine:
In 1601 she was found dead on her straw pallet under the stairs, and she was
buried in the Church of Pibrac opposite the pulpit. When accidentally
exhumed in 1644 during a renovation, her body was found incorrupt. In 1793
the casket was desecrated by a revolutionary tinsmith, Toulza, who with
three accomplices took out the remains and buried them in the sacristy,
throwing quick-lime and water on them. After the French Revolution, her body
was found to be still intact save where the quick-lime had done its work.
Wait a minute! Salvador Dali wrote at length about incorrupt bodies such as St. Theresa of Avila - he was obsessed with the subject...which I do not even know how I got on, to be honest...weird.

Stay on topic, Olivia and furthermore, from memory, the Kabbalistic gematria for Saint Germaine's name adds up to 368.
What does Saint Cinderella have to with Dali and me? Stupid answer. Next.

Arghhhhhhhhh! Do I have to explain everything around here? Saint Germaine's feast day is June 15th, you dimwit, and her statue was placed in the Church of Mary Magdalene at RLG by the priest Sauniere, himself! Get a clue...there's something about incorrupt saints and Dali, I'm telling you. And the Sign of the Twins, especially when you consider that Dali claimed he and his wife were those twins of legend, Castor and Pollux...it's all code, it has to be! The entire "bread" allegory fits - because bread is the body! And don't incorrupt bodies exude a perfume...flowers! I gotta go. Bye.
