"There Are Doors" Comes To Japan

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Klamm could best be described as a priest (perhaps the high priest) of 
Cybele/Rhea. The same could be said to be true of Green, but Green is also 
supposedly Attis/Dionysus. Since the priests of Cybele actually emulate 
Attis, there's obviously going to be a close, apparent relationship there. 
But I think we are led to believe that Green is "the real deal", so to 
speak.
