Trying to tie together all the great ideas so far, if
the Emmetts use chalkboards, they could leave the
following clues from the earlier post neatly written
in Hebrew letters (with spanish/moorish, german,
polish or whatever dialects.)
The players could then have great fun finding people
to transcribe them (and accidentally bring even more
attention down on themselves.)

The bit about the chinese cousin could be hotly
debated, rather than having him show up.
In fact, to take another seed from Pratchett, the
Golems could be trying to create him from a different
order of faith, using Chinese alchemical symbols and
ingredients (as well as imperial elements such as
pheonix and dragon.)
Or, maybe, something like Lucifuge (from Hush Hush)
has gotten involved and is leading the golems toward a
longing for their own humanity (the poor little wooden
boys.)
Maybe it's worse. Maybe an Avatar of the Rebel and
another of the Outsider have joined forces to make a
bid for Godwalkership or re-working the archetype.
Maybe they're trying to give everything in the world a
"soul," revivng the old (I'm not sure about this)
Lakota beleif or the idea of there being an angel for
every blade of grass.
