The Living Source

Authorship, method, and the ethos behind our pages.

Our materials emerge from both study and lived experience within the coven. Where we draw upon external writers, teachers, or traditions, they are cited directly. This acknowledgment is not a formality but an act of gratitude—for their insight enlarges our own. We encourage readers to seek these authors in their original contexts, for no idea remains whole when removed from its lineage. The works that shaped us—textual, oral, and experiential—remain part of an ongoing conversation that extends far beyond our circle.

The Craft, as we understand it, is neither static nor singular. Each generation inherits fragments of practice and understanding; each practitioner reinterprets them through lived encounter. Accuracy, in this sense, is not a fixed ideal but a continual discipline—measured by integrity, coherence, and openness to correction. To study magic is to enter a dialogue between the seen and unseen, the recorded and the rediscovered.

We hold that scholarship and spirituality are not opposing paths but complementary methods of inquiry. Reading, contemplation, and ritual all refine perception; they are equal instruments of truth. Our essays attempt to honor both the rigor of the scholar and the vision of the mystic, to test revelation against record and experience alike.

We ask that you approach our work as we approach our sources: critically, kindly, and with curiosity. Accept nothing unexamined, yet dismiss nothing without understanding. Magic, after all, is not belief but relationship—the interplay of insight and effect. To study the Craft is to enter a lineage of questioning minds, each adding to what the others began.

With gratitude to the many authors and practitioners whose research, poetry, and devotion have deepened the path for all who follow.
