[edit] Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- We can see the symbols.
- We can know that we have shared some vision, some common experience. We have seen and felt the towers, each in our own way, without truly understanding them. How can we know when we’ve unearthed all the meaning beneath them?
- Don’t fool yourself into thinking we can begin after we unravel the symbols. There’s nothing after the symbols — they aren’t obstacles to our purpose, they are the purpose.
- — Amelia Jubile, Mysterium philosopher on the Path of Ecstasy
- This book includes:
- Essential insight into customs, practices and beliefs from each Path, invaluable for every Mage: The Awakening player.
- Information on Sanctums, rituals and spells to make any character a unique exemplar of any Path.
- A new Legacy for each Path, plus the introduction of Dedications — new practices any wizard can perform to summon precious Mana.
