Shepherdess Era 

That time in every rich woman’s life when they feel the urge to bake sourdough, grow organic garlic and decant perfectly good snacks into cellophane bags tied with hessian string.

Refers to Marie Antoinette’s stint as a shepherdess when French aristocrats acted out the “simple life” while still retaining their social position.

I received a welcome gift of jarred garlic soaked in olive oil when visiting an old college friend. It seems she’s in her Shepherdess Era.

Shepherds maze 

Shepherds maze (sheps maze) is a highly secretive but allegedly exciting online alternate reality game in which players can join by invitation only and is loosely based on a bizarre journal found to have belonged to a paranoid schizophrenic in GA. Aspects of the game are taken directly from the journal in a way that re-enacts scenarios described within. Snapshots of the journal have been seen on Imgur and reddit under fake/ghost/newly created usernames but are usually deleted before anyone has had a chance to save them.
Dude I’ve been playing shepherds maze for a month and it’s so much better than any other ARG I’ve ever played.

Did you see that last snapshot of Shepherds journal? I wonder if there’s any clues that will be in the maze?!

shepherds maze 

An online and alternate reality/ augmented reality “puzzle” spanning several countries over the last 6 years. Players claim to be given orders to complete small tasks and are provided with “keys” in exchange. Shepherds maze is almost definitely tied to falkens maze, another, more exclusive game with less than 100 players in North America that often travel and meet in person to obtain keys and perform tasks.
Ignore that YouTube link, it’s probably someone just playing shepherds maze.

I heard that if you complete the maze they will pay you to moderate new players.

Shepherds prayer 

And shepherds we shall be,
For Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.

The famous prayer that the brothers in the boondock saints say before killing an important mob boss.
Man, the shepherds prayer was so cool when they killed that one guy...i wish i knew it...
