The Sermons and Lectures

I was there. when the Ribcage Castle fell. I was there when the last princess convinced the crown prince to abdicate the throne and flee. I was there when the Weaver made her deal with First Mother. I was there when the Witches taught the First Tribe to cleanse the land. But I was there much earlier. I was present for the founding of the Tenebrati. I saw the birth of the Living Four. I witnessed the Weaver’s first webs being strung across the Shadowlands. I watched as the Firebird kindled the fire of Mystery. And I will watch when Mother of Discord nurtures her cold children in the cooling void. And when the Grey is returned how to the Dark Era of the universe’s final days, I shall watch it happen. 

The story spans the length and breadth of space time. I am the Storyteller, and I live and die with each telling. 

Sermons

This is a religion, or at least we’re claiming it’s a religion (it is). And since it’s a religion, we need sermons. With philosophical tenets and behavioral codes, sermons are useful to help explore the nuances of those ideas. And you will find them here.

There is a plan, a great big Secret Master Plan. But what is that plan? This is where you find out.

The core of our religion is the Defense of the Flame. And if you want to understand what that means, this is a place to start.

The Song of Seven is the backbone of the our religion, everything is supported by this central doctrine. The Song consists of seven laws divided into easy to understand and easy to memorize sections. And here, the loyal freethinking cultist can educate themselves on this foundational doctrinal component.

Lectures

This is a school after all and so lectures are definitely on the table here. There is a lot of curriculum, more than twenty years of research and mad pondering. The core curriculum is found elsewhere. But the lectures are found here.
