Private · By membership

The members’ room

This is the room behind the classes: the curriculum in full, the institute’s own book of the works, the shelves, the sound room, and the notes kept for members alone. It is kept small, and it is kept quiet.

Everything here is the institute’s own material — written for members, revised as the work is revised, and free to print and keep.

The door

One moment.

The rooms

What is kept in here

Eight rooms, each holding one part of the institute’s material. Walk into any of them; they are all yours while you are a member.

The Curriculum

Both tracks in full — the practical education and the old work, from the lower magicks upward.

Every class the institute teaches, with what each one covers, what a student takes away, and how to enrol.

The Grimoire

The Rites of One, by Miguel Harvey — the book of the works, marks and all.

The principles, the preparation of the operator, the tools, the timing, the squares and seals, and every working with its own mark, its own words and its own definition. Printable as a book.

Bundles of dried herbs and a stone mortar and pestle in low candlelight

The Herbal Catalog

The working materia medica, A to Z, whole and powdered.

Every plant the institute keeps, with both accounts of it written out: what it does to a body, and what it has long been used for.

Stones and Crystals

The stone room, listed A to Z with origins and uses.

Every stone the institute keeps, chosen at the source and cleansed before it is wrapped, with its physical character and its metaphysical account.

A candlelit reading room with tall bookshelves

The Library

The institute’s shelves, searchable by title, author or topic.

History, business, magick, the paranormal and philosophy beside the herbals, the mineralogies and the rare and out of print.

The drones, bowls and drum work the hours are kept by.

Recorded for members to work beside, each piece with its own player and its notes on how it is used.

SpelledWorxMusic©

The institute’s own gallery of music, kept inside the door.

One entry to a song, every song playable on the page, and a page of its own for each. The room is opened by the SpelledWorxMusic player access, and the catalog grows as songs are added.

Notes from the room, questions, and everything else educational.

Most members come to the room through a class, and some through the program. Either way it begins with a conversation.
