 | I'd like to live of the things without belonging to them, as sounds do, a winged consequence where reality is far |  |
The seed, the tree, the fruit |
On an usual visit to the Courts of the woods Aurnia of Merinita notes a particular child; a profane man could mistake her for a little fay, but the old | | spectators. She combines knowledge in Corpus and in Herbam Form to profane study of human body, medicine and plants to better understand the double |
Maga understands she's not at all like this. The little girl shows an interest in Hermetic Artes, even if the Gift is not evident in her, so that animals are not scared, perhaps for her fairyblood too. The child remembers nothing about her parents nor why she's there, but she feels it's a natural thing. She remembers her name is Eileen... During the apprenticeship at Greyforest Covenant Eileen learns the ways of magic in accordance with Aurnia's precepts and point of view. Eileen's conception of magic goes beyond the classic Hermetic canons, so that the appreciation of her improvements or creative highlight isn't easy for her Mater; besides the studies are inconstant and interupted by the visits to the fairy courts. Her beauty and gentle gift make relationships easier with the profane part of the Covenant which is recompensed with Eileen's songs,able to enchant the | | nature that links her to the world of humans and inhabitant of woods. She gets through Merinita's gauntlet by singing at the Fairy Dance in Midsummer Night and receiving full agreement by the Court. Her life starts again as a Maga at Cliffheart, with daily incomprehensions with her own sodales; but as time goes by she blunts the rough relationships with the other young Magas. The meeting with Ciaran na, King of Kia Sidhe Court marks this period of her life: by an accord she gives the court the result of her own womb without any pretence, the same court she often visit to explore the limits of her fairy nature; moreover Kia Sidhe's hostile court makes an attempt on Eileen's life. To test potentiality of magic in knowledge of human body she throws herself heart nad soul in studying the Art Corpus, becoming a master. |
Notes inside the walls After Winter Solstice better suspending men's works in Celtic Custos' favour and beginning to mark the skin by oneself.Take a cruet Created from glass and put in it the breath of the Wood. After mixing Twice the hands of a mule, so that it returns clear from red, Spring will refresh your Body if you drink the voice flowed in the river. Strip your Body of feet weight and control that the hand perform Three turns around the Seven stars of the sky. You'll see in the eyes a robin ready to fall down as an Autumn berry. The shadow the Sun projects for your eyes doesn't Reach the distance separating it from the body. The Image of the Ten forms can be placed where the wind was before. Winter of Thirteen Aries reaps Three times Twenty victims and another One. With the Arts of Hermes you can accomplish Seven little steps to come back to the Three consecrated places. The Body will follow the way of the mind Ruling the past and the hand picking up the ground will choose the path. If you Puzzle over the main way and explore the dangerous path you can finish Two trip moving your Body Once. At Spring you will reach the Wood of the Five fickle flowers where you run at the same time along the way leading to the Two inns with Five hosts. The Spring Aries' Equinox follows the Summer Solstice of Four of his companions, who always remain Thirteen, inside the Essence of the Body. Friend and unknown Woods chase the Twelve Moons, and the consequence sprouts in another Seed in the space of the Two following Equinoxes. Winter of the Thirteen Aries goes back to reap Three times Twenty victims and when time goes by it counts Seven. Hermes Creates the soft matter mixing running away water with the hidden fire impregnating it of solid air. While the other Two flow standing, One Strength of Six Bodies is applied to the Fountain of Blood in the Shape of a Girl. The solid air wets the ethereal earth turning it into dark fire which will become bright water. The Strength of Nine, obtained with the Essence of needed Seven and other Six so that White of Meat remains Green of Wood, feeds the Tree that grows Hearts. Move Three times the green water from the Wood and follow the boiling Bee of the Mint up to the bank of the red shell. Three Mountains will raise the water necklace when the fur of the four little columns dresses the meal of two high breasts summers and the river is divided in the internal Seed, in the common Shell and the eternal Rock. Rule the path of the Aries looking at Six Moons dancing inside the Six Mountains where the Wood is friend. The windmill of the far kept Body will turn as long as the finger will not go out of the Ring. When the Wood Moves Two branches, the shade projected on the Earth strikes for the first time the Essence infused in the work of the man. The hostile Grey will smile at the softish Sun and the Rock will cherish the rest where the Tree stands. | ||
