There was a lot of chatter when the coded message first was disseminated, but I haven't seen anyone share the full message. I guess then it falls to me to do so:

“Summon the sisters: two brings the third
fullmoon calling spider’s temple
two babes of same mother born same hour
to serve as host and host
bless the babes at spider’s altar: the spinner’s seat
Gathered chorus, voices raised, power of the world displayed
Thrice toll the bell, thrice light the flame
Thrice call the holy names.”

You can start speculating now as to what it all means.

Is this something to do with Spider-Man?

@ God forever

[justlittle]

I find that less likely than it having something to do with the Church of the Ancient Web Mistress in Jeopardy.

Yay, congrats, you solved the weird riddle.

Sounds like some mumbo-jumbo if you ask me. But then, what else is new around here.

Anyone with all the pieces could have solved the puzzle.
That isn't the hard part.
The hard part is understanding what it means for us as a community.

Looking at the history of this place, there are three sisters with a spider theme that come to mind. How much do we know about the Fates?

[justlittle]

According to the notes of imPorts who came before us, the Fates have been involved in the Porter that brought us here, as well as another Porter in the universe that came before this one.

[ Aw. Apollo recognises that username. He still feels bad about it. ]

Good work. No thoughts of your own on how to interpret it yet?

[justlittle]

I have some thoughts.
Jeopardy's unstable entry into this universe is obviously a key.
"Thrice call the holy names" is probably a reference to the Fates. They've been involved in Porter business before.
I don't have an answer on the two hosts...

[dragony]

i suppose i was too hopeful, thinking the third had perished.

[justlittle]

You mean the Fates.
Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.

[monster_san]

Excuse me, Dragon-san, but the third who perished--that was Clotho, was it not?

[anathemic]

[ Oh, this is actually even further up Anathema's alley. She's had less experience with actual codebreaking; more with interpreting cryptic vague prophecy. ]

It sounds like a step-by-step ritual to me. On how to summon-- the third of the Fates of this universe, that I keep hearing about? And at the spider church, like others have mentioned.

I knew that place was interesting.

[justlittle]

The question becomes: is our mysterious sender trying to get us to complete the ritual? Or to prevent it?

I think it means my sister and I should stay away from Jeopardy.

[ He's only semi-serious. It can't really single any one (or two) imPorts like that. ]

[ ...right? ]

[justlittle]

Let me guess.... Twins?

[hatestrashcans]

No idea, but I vote not doing things that we're told to do by random ass cryptic messages until we confirm anything.

[European mythology and history aren't his things. ]

[justlittle]

Hard to confirm anything, when we don't know who sent it or what it actually means.

damn. it means nothing good, that's for sure.

[ she's being captain obvious here, she knows. ]

[justlittle]

Thank you for your expert input.
I'm making a note of that.

• "Nothing good..."

[voice]

[viciousmaukery]

[After taking a moment to have his screen reader read the entry out to him:]

I told you lot this was cursed. Good news: at least now we know twins need to stay away from Jeopardy, unless they want to get possessed or some shite.

[justlittle]

I've half a mind to recommend all imParts give Jeopardy a wide berth, just in case.

[girlybruiser]

As everyone has been speculating... it sounds like the Fates.
But the last time anyone attempted to make contact with the sisters, Atropos specifically, it backfired.
How do we know doing such a thing again won't harm anyone?

[justlittle]

Why should we do what the message wants us to?
We need to determine the sender's intentions before acting upon their instructions blindly.

So I wasn't imagining things. I thought I was on the wrong path when I got to the second line.

Thank you for posting the full message.

[justlittle]

Just doing my part. I'm sure I'm not the only one to have solved it.

guess its a good thing none of us have the same mom

[justlittle]

You're from that... blended family that threw the birthday-bash-gone-wrong.

No, I'd say you lot are in the clear.

[monster_san]

Lachesis: measurer of the lifespan. Which I suppose can relate to her deciding who is called here and how long they stay.
Atropos: cutter of the thread. I know a very small amount about her history and it's nothing that should be repeated.
Clotho: weaver of the cloth... what does she create in this context?

[justlittle]

Destruction? Or would that be more Atropos' job?

Great... Jeopardy's weird church is going to kill us all.

*A set of twins AT Jeopardy's weird church are going to kill us all.

[hellosirs]

... Aw, beans. I was really hoping that this wouldn't lead to some kind of cult ritual. Those never end well.

[justlittle]

You have experience with cults?

text;

[bifroster]

That ... sounds like a summoning ritual.

Not that I really know anything about magic or how it operates in this world or how it might even be accomplished.

[She pauses, thinking.]

I want to be literal, but there might be a lot in here that isn't. Babes could mean anyone of any age, not infants, for example.

Re: text;

[justlittle]

Messages this cryptic are hardly ever literal.
Metaphors are the bane of my existence, but it seems to me that's what we're dealing with here.
