01 — The Faculties

Declare your element.

After the shared Foundations year, every student declares a major and a minor from the four elemental faculties. Each is a full discipline — its own course sequence, its own logbooks, its own adept threshold.

02 — The Path

Five gates. Each one earned.

Each gate is a published standard, and you hold your own practice against it: courses closed, logs kept, work you could defend to anyone who asked. Nobody stands at the gate but you.

Gate 1

Dedicant year one

Six foundation courses closed, a year of logs kept, essay and protocol in the working book.

Gate 2

Initiate year two

Major and minor declared; first course of each closed; the year's portfolio read back against the standard.

Gate 3

Adept year three

Major faculty complete, the ordeal passed, the applied record at threshold.

Gate 4

Practitioner year four

Minor complete, a case written up and defended on paper, 100+ applied hours in the record.

Gate 5

Magister years five–six

Teaching practicum, a capstone ritual and a class of your own, a full audit of your practice. The last standard in the book.

03 — The Open Book

The whole curriculum, published in daylight.

Free, in order, beginning at the beginning. No locked mysteries, no inner court, and nothing held back for people who pay. The teaching is the whole of it, and it stays open.
