The Seven Tenets

I. Arcanum Occultationis — The Veil of Secrecy

Knowledge withers in the mouths of the unprepared. Guard the hidden teachings as relics of fire; for only in silence does forbidden wisdom keep its power intact.

II. Arcanum Sacrificii — The Law of Exchange

All ascent demands a descent. Nothing is given that is not paid for in blood, time, or self. The universe is ledger and judge.

III. Arcanum Illuminationis Perditae — Illumination Through Loss

The sword that takes is also the blade that carves a way forward. Sacrifice is the lantern of the Initiate, and its flame is fed with what once defined them.

IV. Arcanum Reciprocitatis Cosmici — The Cosmic Return

As the storm returns to the sea, so all offerings return to their giver. Power bends back upon the hand that wields it, bearing fruit or poison according to intention.

V. Arcanum Corporis Aurei — The Light Body

The flesh is the first temple and the last. Through discipline, exertion, and chosen suffering, the body becomes a vessel capable of bearing lightning.

VI. Arcanum Mentis Transmutatae — The Transmuted Mind

The mind is a furnace of symbols. Whoever masters its fires masters fear, desire, and perception—and thus becomes author of their own reality.

VII. Arcanum Dominii Practici — Sovereignty of Action

Power unrealized is illusion. Mastery is proven in the world, not in the imagination of the idle or fearful.
