no book will prepare you for the unknown that we know not.

The vast majority of people, claiming that violence and savagery are egregious and morally unacceptable to them, are plainly and simply unable to use violence even in self-defence, in the defence of their nearest and dearest—or when it is necessary. That is called: making a virtue out of inaction. Vysogota of Corvo

The rose is a symbol of the inner mysteries of Witchcraft. A red rose symbolizes the mysteries as they reside in Nature, within the living things. The white rose symbolizes the Otherworld and the mysteries hidden in secret places. When a single rose appears with white petals in the center of red petals, this represents the mysteries joined together within one reality. Thorns appearing with the rose represent challenges and the dedication required to fully grasp the enlightenment of the rose. One of the symbolisms associated with the rose reveals the covenant between the Witch and the Faery. In this, we find that both are stewards of the portal that opens to the inner mysteries. The Faery holds the celestial key, and the Witch bears the terrestrial key. When the two are joined together, they form an X—the sign of the crossroads. In this formation, where the keys cross we find a third point, the in-between place at the center. This is where the portal exists, and this is where it opens between the worlds. Look at the shape of the X and you can see four pointed tip markers (the V shapes). The upper half of the X points down, and the lower half points up. On the sides of the X, you can see that the left and right halves point to the center. This shows us that when the celestial and terrestrial realms join, they pull together the left ways and the right ways. These are occult terms for esoteric and exoteric modes of consciousness. In the fusion, everything briefly loses its distinction, its ability to mask the opposite reality, and in doing so, the secret third reality emerges in the center of it all. If this sounds confusing or nonsensical, then the guardian of that portal is doing its job well. The material in this book will connect you with an entity connected to the rose and its mystery. This is the previously mentioned She of the Thorn-Blooded Rose. With her guidance, you can be directed to the portal, and through it you can meet a variety of beings and entities. However, her primary task is to connect you with the Greenwood Realm and the plant spirits within it. In your journey to encounter these spirits, you will pass through the organic memory of the earth. You'll walk upon roads of mystical concepts and be accompanied by the Old Ones of

The Triformis entity known as the Three Daughters of Night is an aspect of She of the Crossroads. However, in practice, they are most effective when called upon individually or as a triple natured entity not equated with She of the Crossroads. The Three Daughters of Night are known separately as the Lady of Shadow, the Lady of Blood, and the Lady of Bones. Each one holds a sacred object in respective order: a serpent, a heart, a femur bone. These represent their inner mystery connection to the realm of Shadow. When called together, three black candles are lighted side by side at the crossroads. A small cauldron, a bottle of red wine, and a handful of white flour are placed in order from left to right in front of the candles. With these items in place, begin your call to the Three Daughters of Night: I

Revenge only brings joy to vapid and primitive minds. Don’t forget that.

I am Elena Fiachra de Mersault, commandant of the security service of the Upper March.” Geralt ought to have said something witty. In the style of “it seems to be the season for security services.” Or “you wait ages for the security service and then two turn up at once.” He didn’t say anything. He was simply tongue-tied.

Say it again,” she finally said. “I was compelled,” he obediently repeated, “to carry out… an annihilation.” “Utterly?” she asked after another period of silence. “Completely and utterly?” “Couldn’t have been more utterly.

You study bestiaries in order to acquire knowledge about what you will have to fight against. Remember, however, that knowledge is not everything. Books will teach you about known facts—about monsters that are familiar to us. Books will also permit you to understand that known unknowns exist—monsters which we know must exist, but which we do not know. But no bestiary and no book will prepare you for the unknown that we know not. For monsters about which we have no knowledge, nor any comprehension of their existence. Vesemir of Kaer Morhen
