Hey guys, I think I’ve figured it out! As many of you know, I have long since suspected that Alice is alive and well, living under cover and keeping on the move to avoid arousing suspicion. I haven’t been quite sure why or what she’s doing for certain, but I think we’re all on the same page about her “extra curricular activities” (If you haven’t yet heard about Alice being a witch, I recommend you do some googling; the literature is out there). Well, I’ve been keeping an eye on news footage for glimpses of her, and I’ve actually been spotting her here and there since last June! I didn’t want to bring this up until now, because I’m wary to disrupt whatever ritual she’s working on, but I have reason to believe she’s now in the final stages of it, and may have even completed it by the time this update goes live. So! First spotting: June 2nd, 2019. She likely took some time to gather supplies before heading to BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. You can see her here in the crowd at this basketball game. She appears to have donned some fake glasses to help disguise herself, which must have worked in person, though my ability to pause and rewind news footage made it easier to spot her.
Second spotting: August 4th, 2019. SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA. Alice heads south. As you can see, she’s either had bangs cut or acquired a wig - another attempt to hide her identity from enemies, but her allies know how to find her.
Third spotting: October 27th, 2019. POCATELLO, IDAHO. While her back is to us in this photo, you can see her hair is in that classic dark to blonde ombre she likes to wear, and she’s even wearing a shirt she owned from before - it’s in many of her vines.
You might have noticed that she tends to frequent large crowds, and I’m getting to that! All will be revealed. For now: Fourth spotting: December 3rd, 2019. MADISON, WISCONSIN. We actually get a full forward shot of her face here! I don’t think it’s that she’s getting sloppy, quite the opposite! The further she gets with her ritual, the less tenuous it is. By fourth seeding it should be pretty unshakeable, and she doesn’t need to be quite as careful
Fifth spotting: February 17th, 2020. FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA. This is my most recent sighting, and the clue that pulled it all together!
What is all this for, you might ask? What is she even DOING? Behold:
Alice is making a country wide protection spell! I can honestly say I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s extremely impressive, not just that she has the concentration to hold it together, but that she was able to travel from point to point in her rune without being disrupted. This explains a few things: why would she spend so much time in crowds? In order to hold a spell of this magnitude for this long, she must be tying each bundle to the energy of the crowd as she activates. She arrives at the location the night before an event, buries or otherwise hides her bundle (sage, lavendar, something of value, her own signature token, which is kept private for obvious reasons, and the proof of a sacrifice - I suspect this last is the ashes from her house. A big sacrifice for a big spell), then speaks the words of waking and binding when emotions run particularly high in a crowd. The bundle pulls energy from those within range as long as the spell holds, allowing Alice to continue on unburdened. Those being drawn from have probably noticed nothing more than some light fatigue and deeper sleeping at night. This protection spell also explains why it’s taking her so long to make it from point to point; she has to follow the straight lines of the rune, seeding the path with oils as she goes. This is a step many skip when making small personal protection spells, but for something this big, Alice wouldn’t risk cutting corners. She can’t simply hop on a motorbike and drive, but must be walking through farmers fields and small towns, seeding all the way. It’s a remarkable show of love for us, for all of us in America: look what she is willing to do for us! Look at the sacrifice, the personal hardship! That she takes on this burden for all of us, never asking for thanks or credit, is truly amazing. She’s almost finished now. Alice will return to Denver soon, where she’ll bury the last bundle in the location of sacrifice, then activate it in a moment of emotional intensity. I suspect this will happen on the anniversary of her disappearance; many fans are planning to make a pilgrimage to her former home, to mourn her loss and celebrate her life. What better event? She will probably reveal herself as she activates. The shock and joy of her fans will be enough to bring the entire spell to life. This leads me to why I’ve chosen to reveal her plans now: she needs our help. The energy for the final point will need to be immense. I intend to travel to Denver to channel my power to her, and I encourage the rest of my coven to do the same. Alice is going to save us all. We have an opportunity to be part of that. Let’s get to it.
