The Red Seal, Chishio or The Rabbit Hole

This is awesome! Several people received mail containing strange symbols that appear to be some sort of code. There are four messages, each with a red seal that seems to be a key or another message. This web site is most likely linked to the messages.

I first heard about this from JC Hutchins. His Flickr page has the best images of the red symbols (which I have focused on after failing to figure anything out from the black symbols).

Here’s what I have so far from the red symbols.

Each symbol is three letters, every occurrence of a letter seems to be an exact copy, although sometimes mirrored and/or rotated.

The letter groups as far as I can tell are (clockwise from bottom):

NOT ONE SEN SEC SCO OMC OMR ERM ERV EEV ENV ENA ANN ANT NOT

The Ms could be Ws. The letters are repeated in groups of three so the first three symbols contain N. The second through fourth contain E.

If you continue the pattern (and wrap around the circle for the last two groups) you get:

NESCOMREVENATO (or NESCOWREVENATO with W instead of M)

I see several words:

NES / COM / REVENATO
NESCO / MR / E / VENATO
NE / SCO / MR / EVE / NATO

I guess it could be an anagram (or with a W).

Maestro Convene
Ace Mover Sonnet
Even A Stone Crow
A Crow Sonnet Eve
