_What you call clarity, the forest calls stillness._ ![[wait.really_Rider-Waite_style_tarot_card_illustration_of_a_ha_13437bfd-76d9-4653-9cb6-f2467d291ab5_2.png]] ## The Instruction Before you journey on the [[Path of The Witch]], you will be offered a piece of Ulexite—known within The Circle as Veil-Stone. Accept it with your dominant hand and whisper, _I choose to see._ To take it is to say: _I embrace the [[Witch Within]], and I honor the [[Accords of Belonging]] of [[The Circle]]._ Keep it close throughout your stay: in your pocket, at your bedside, or near your journal. When the world feels fogged with thought or emotion, hold the stone until your breath steadies. Its smooth weight will remind you that perception is not forced—it returns when invited. During writing or reflection, place the Veil-Stone beside your page. It’s said that its silken fibers draw truth from what hides between the lines. Some rest it on their heart before sleep; others simply keep it as a quiet companion. However you use it, let it serve as your tether to [[The Witch Within]]—the part of you that sees beyond surface and story. ## The Intention The Veil-Stone is not a charm for answers but a mirror for awareness. It teaches the art of _seeing without grasping_—the gentle discipline that underlies all magic and all connection. It reminds us that understanding often requires softening, that light can only pass through what has become clear. To carry it is to honor both shadow and illumination. To use it is to remember that clarity is not about what is revealed, but how deeply we are willing to look. When you touch the Veil-Stone, you join a lineage of witches who knew: seeing is not what opens the veil—_it is what keeps it alive._
