Inscribed for all who enter. Read them before you sign the book.
Liber Principiorum
Here begin the principles of the Sanctum
Every path is welcome here, and so is every honest question. What keeps this a sanctuary is how we treat each other — so these eight principles bind all who enter, alongside the server's own terms.
- I.All paths respectedNo tradition is superior to another — chaos magicians, Hellenic polytheists, tarot readers and religious-studies nerds sit at the same table.
- II.No proselytisingShare your path; don't push it.
- III.Label your gnosisUnverified personal gnosis is valid — just mark it as UPG so others know what kind of knowledge it is.
- IV.Cite your sourcesIn research discussion, show where it comes from. Primary sources beat vibes.
- V.No predatory recruitmentNobody gets drawn into harmful practices, groups or relationships here.
- VI.No hate in robesBigotry in spiritual clothing is still bigotry, and it's still removed.
- VII.Content-warn the heavy ritesCW sensitive ritual content — death, blood, bodily practice and the like.
- VIII.Keep it SFWThis is not an explicit space. Sex magic as a topic of study is fine; explicit content lives in Porncess Peach's Palace.
