Information

"The Alae Draconis or Wings of the Dragon, The Mysterium are dedicated to the pursuit of magical lore and the acquisition, cataloguing, and study of mystical and occult knowledge and artifacts. The "mystagogues" (as they are commonly called) continue the ancient heritage of the scholarly and intellectual of Atlantean society. Their internal structure often resembles the academic structures of the part of the world in which they reside. The Mysterium gathers, catalogues and maintains items of all types of magical and historical significance.

Protocols:

The First Protocol: Right Scholarship

  • A true magus never lies to her colleagues about the nature and properties of secret knowledge. She may refuse to speak about a subject in whole or part, but must never mislead one of the Awakened. — Magic, Society and Reason

The Second Protocol: Right Apprenticeship

  • The chela (apprentice) owes his guru (master) the full flower of Buddhi (Awakening). Even after he grows into his wisdom, he owes his guru lifelong homage. A guru must teach his chela wisely and fairly, imparting all necessary knowledge of Sat (truth) and Siddhi (magical knowledge). He may never allow the chela to live in dishonor or destitution. — The Siddhakarma

The Third Protocol: Right Exchange

  • Magi must share secrets of equal value. The value of a secret depends equally upon its absolute power, rarity and the value ascribed to it by its recipient. The participants’ satisfaction is not enough to justify an unequal exchange. — Magic, Society and Reason

The Fourth Protocol: Right Authority

  • What are the qualities of a guru? He knows the ways of individual siddha (magical workings) and devotes himself to the pure dharmakaya (Corpus Mysteriorum). His wisdom shines in ancient formulae and spontaneous miracles. — The Siddhakarma
