Each Fundamental explores the absolute basics of each of Four Colors. Spirit- Explores the Yellow, spiritual nature of reality. Mind- Blue considerations such as Mind Expansion and training, language and divination. Energy- Red Focus looks at Health, Fitness, Body and Energy. Science- Covers the Brown, pragmatic aspect of existence. Each fundamental is important and bleeds into one another. One of these colors will have to be chosen as you level up. Understanding these introductory lessons into how the Arcane works leads to bigger things. At the bottom of some pages, you will be able to comment. Add thoughts and suggestions or debate us on some of the points made. One of the most important things to keep in mind as you read is do your own research into the points made and verify it for yourself. Truly coming to understand these basics and accept them into your world view changes everything and puts things like Spirituality, Science, Psychology and Power into a certain perspective. These things are all connected and are no longer some outside influence but rather something you can begin putting to use now. Understanding that all religions are fundamentally connected is powerful when you realize they all appeal to the same Gods and practiced the same rituals. Using the modern scientific and technological lens to look at some of the Ancient Sciences begins to reveal some mind-blowing things as well. Discovering how language has been used as a Divination medium overall for thousands of years begins unlocking the Mind and specifically the subconscious. And exploring the potential of the Body and energies of your being leads to actually practitioning what has been called spirituality. Getting these four down, we can then move towards more intensive research into specifics and putting them to practice.

When you're starting out it may seem confusing or overwhelming. There is a lot of reading and points made along the way as well as things to put into practice. So let's categorize the different things you can do early on and different practices you can train that will serve you well in the long run. The Fundamentals obviously are the main thing to get through at Level 0. Reading through all of this beginner content is how you will level up. There will be a test at the end to ensure that you understand all of the basics needed to move forward. Circles will lead you to a page where you can immediately access the Circle of Fools. This is a place where we can socialize and discuss the different things related to the Arcane but it is a free and open platform to chat about anything you want. Journaling isn't necessary but it may help you to keep track of your own progress and make notes on things of interest to you. The Blueprint page is meant to show the many different connections to one of the most powerful and ancient symbols to humankind. The Pantheon page is to document the divinities and categorize them by a unique symbol. This will help you as you level up. Meditation is a practice we believe everyone should be doing. Upon waking or going to bed, exploring with the mind calmly has a mountain of benefits. It will also help get in the right frame of mind for practicing spirituality later down the road. Unlocking the subconscious while awake is the ultimate goal here. Divination utilizes unlocking the subconscious to be able to explore what is outside of our senses. This is a skill (or ability) to be developed and there are plenty of different techniques explored under the Mind Fundamental. All it takes is practicing one of these techniques to your liking and developing a relationship with that medium. Grounding and Breathwork can easily be implemented in your meditation routine and have significant health benefits as well as gradually becoming a habit of ritually getting into a mode of spiritual readiness. This routine is a perfect warm-up before practitioning true spirituality. It's amazing how this works, but the more you practice these the more it becomes a real conditioning to connect you with Spirit. Apotrope is the last skill you will learn about. Protection spirituality is the necessary starting point as it is the perfect primer for grounding energy and ritual. It also will keep you safe as you progress towards learning different spiritual arts. This is why this discipline needs to come first. As you move along through the Fundamentals feel free to ask questions and comment as you please. Don't forget to be thinking about which Fundamental appeals most to you as each one corresponds to a primary color and you will eventually have to choose one as you level up.

Focuses compartmentalize reality into Seven distinct categories. It makes categorizing easier and allows for individual members to specialize in their own unique field. For something that's near infinitely complex, it helps to have this structure of focus groups who study one angle at a time and begin collaborating together eventually. A quick rundown of each color might help you decide which one you are interested in learning more about in the Pentacle. Yellow focuses on the spiritual. Religious organizations, spiritual history, artifacts and practices are considered under yellow. This includes prophecies, rituals, sacred texts, sacred locations, healing, apotrope, the pantheon and other such topics pertaining to spirituality. Blue is more concerned with the mind and its capabilities. Psychotherapy, Dreams, Divination, ESP, Telepathy, Astral Traveling, Remote Viewing and more. Mind expansion and a focus on increasing intelligence and mental prowess overall is key to this color focus. Red is all about power. Energy cultivation synchronizes with personal development whether that is your health and fitness, willpower and discipline, martial arts and Ego work, political and activism development and more. Power comes in many forms but they all take self-discipline and focus. Orange is Mercurial. Having a hand in all colors, Orange continues to look at the Arcane or even magical side of all things. It is also heavily involved in the media of Arcanasium and documentation of the going-ons of the community. Everything from Hermetics to Alchemy, Low Magick to High Magick is explored. Purple is more about the hidden aspects. Dimensions, the paranormal and the unseen universe just outside of our perception. How to engage and use such things is explored in this color focus which involves investigations into ghosts, entities, rituals and utilizing both energy and the mind to open a portal to the other side. Green covers Nature. Bushcraft, animal psychology and handling, horticulture and gardening, studies of natural remedies, natural arts and crafts, druidry pursuits and more. Preservation and conservation are main considerations of this focus as we learn from nature and how to apply her wisdom. Brown is about the pragmatic and strictly scientific. Testing the merits of all of the other colors, the scientific community will be conducting tests on all things. Everything from the local water to the practices of the other colors and whether they are scientifically sound. While you can begin learning more about each color in the Pentacle, eventually you will have to choose only one primary color. You can also learn more about each color in the Archives.
