Magic Resists Completion

There is no endpoint, no correct sequence, no single tradition that covers the terrain.

The Hermitage offers courses and guidance rather than a curriculum.

You decide where to begin, and exploration takes care of the rest.

The Hermitage will be live at the end of June/early July.

The tradition is older than any single school, and bigger than any single teacher. The Hermitage offers multiple courses across the Western magical tradition and leaves the path entirely up to you.
