No notes were made for session 6, which took place at Barbican.
Session 7.
Present: DI, NM, JM
We used Greek letters for ouija, to see what sort of results that would generate.
We also spent quite a bit of time asking Vax to tell our fortunes using the (near) full set of fortune telling cards. We also did some spirit drawing, using felt tipped pens and blindfolds. The first drawing looked a bit like some sort of animal, once a nose and eyes were added. The second looked more like a scribble, but you could still add bits to it.
Here follows the transcript of the greek letters Vax (or other spirit) shared with us.

Interpretation
I turn now to a handy website for translating the symbols from Greek to the English equivalent. So, for the first set, we have:
Mu m
Omega o
Kappa k
Psi ps
Xi x
Beta b
Alpha a
Kappa k
Omega o
Nu n
Chi ch
Lambda l
So, we have
mokpsxbakonchi
Which sounds like gobbledegook in both English and Greek.
Breaking it up a bit:
Konchi is a hindu slang word used by the people of Fiji for ‘what’ (according to urban dictionary.com)
Thanks again to urbandictionary.com, a ‘Mok’ is a “person with an exceptionally large penis”. Mok is also a “German rapper of Turkish descent”, and there’s a Mok language, a “palaungic language of China and Thailand”
That leaves psx, which is another name for a flavour of playstation.
Make of all that what you will.
OR
MOKP - Google suggests “The Missouri Kidney Program is a state funded organization designed to help meet the needs of Kidney patients in the state of Missouri through education,”
MOKPS is a user identity at Roblox, an internet site for gaming.
BAKONCHI is a word in Hausa (a language I’ve never heard of) and means “the service done to a stranger” (ie hospitality)
Well none of that makes much sense to me. Over to you.
The second set:

Taking the repeated Epsilon Pi sequence first, ‘epsilon pi’ is an American fraternity.
EPEPEP. Or PEPE PEPEPE. The last (pepepe) returns, in you tube, lots of music videos, all of which look horrible, even with no volume.
Of the main set, we have
psthpsrhktlznltmumpsklchphhoe
In the middle of that there’s a ‘mumps’ and precious little else. A google search of the entire sequence returns, unsuprisingly, no matches. Over to anyone else who wants to have a go.
