The Veil and the Crown
“Through purple, the soul remembers its descent and prepares its ascent. It is the color of sacred concealment, of mystery made holy, and of power transmuted by shadow.”

🜂 INTRODUCTION
Purple is the color of initiation, divine rite, and threshold transmutation. It is the crown current and the sacred veil, marking the boundary between worlds and the descent into mystery. Known as The Veil and the Crown, purple governs rites of passage, psychic absorption, and the alchemy of death and rebirth.
To wear purple in magic is to cloak the self in sacred weight — to conceal in order to reveal. It is the fire of spirit absorbed into silence.
