Mage Sight

We review The Green Knight (2021) as an Acanthus Awakening. We also got new microphones so the sound quality is better. https://www.instagram.com/magesightmedia https://www.patreon.com/c/MageSight

We talk more in-depth about the Acanthus Path in Mage: the Awakening. https://www.instagram.com/magesightmedia https://www.patreon.com/c/MageSight Acanthus have walked a path through Arcadia to Awaken as Rulers of Time and Fate. Using Time to manipulate what has happened and what will happen, along with Fate for what must happen, such an Awakened sees reality as a story which has both yet to begin and yet to end, even while it is being told. Acanthus Awakened are called Enchanters for their luck and Witches for the differences. In Awakened tarot, Acanthus themselves are represented by The Fool and their magic represented by The Wheel of Fortune. They enter dangerous situations without knowledge of the danger and still they come out on top, only seemingly through chance. Acanthus know the ever-changing nature of events can be gainfully exploited with the Supernal as a guide. As Awakened who have visited Arcadia, Acanthus have the unique ability to summon Supernal Fae in to the Fallen World. These denizens of Arcadia are seen as shrewd negotiators who see a favor as a payment in a transaction, commonly with deceptive interpretations. Many see Fairies as tricksters. The honor of their word is of paramount importance but their promised duty stops at its literal meaning.

We review the first episode of Charmed in the context of the lore in Mage: the Awakening. https://www.instagram.com/magesightmedia https://www.patreon.com/c/MageSight

Josh describes the setting for the Mage: the Awakening actual play we will be doing. https://www.instagram.com/magesightmedia https://www.patreon.com/c/MageSight As the name implies, it will take place in the city that I live in: Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City is a dense metropolis surrounded by vast wilderness, mountains, and deserts; a liberal city that is also the home of the LDS faith; a place of technology, imagination, and spirituality; but also of greed, arrogance, and hierarchy. In the magical landscape, it is a dangerous city to live in if you are not a Seer of the Throne. In 2020, the Ministry of the Paternoster, seers who worship the Exarch known as the Father, finally succeeded in driving the Atlantean Orders out of the city when they infiltrated the Consilium council and murdered the Hierarch, while also launching attacks that wiped out several of the most powerful cabals in the city. Many of the surviving Mages, realizing the danger, left the town as fast as possible, while many of those that stayed were hunted down. Divinations and prophecies have come to the attention of neighboring Consilia, that things are changing in the city and that fighting amongst the Seers is creating an opportunity. To this end, the Order of the Adamantine Arrow has requested for some of its members to volunteer to return to the city and gather what assets their fleeing members left behind, and to find this prophesied opportunity. This is a story that emphasizes the shadow war element of the setting, where the enemy is ever present and nowhere at all. But it will also be about hope and finding light in the darkness. I'm excited to have an all Arrow story so I can see some Sword in my gnostic Sorcery game.
