Masks always wear them. Don’t be tempted to lift the veil. Keep your alchemy locked behind the illusive. Never show them the true face of the mage. It’s the only thing that defends you. Don’t be beguiled by words that others sell you. It’s their masks trying to steal your secrets. Never remove the masks no matter how sweet the desire. Even when you’re vulnerable and it feels right, don’t! Once you lose your secrets you can’t get them back, and you’ll suffer the coldness and wrath of the trickster! NEVER take off your masks. In the end, the cloud of confusion that the masks create will permeate your system; where the masks begin and the truth lies, can only be known by you.
