Chapter III from The Doctrine of the Mirror and the Crown
Before a crown is placed upon the head, a mirror must be placed before the soul. No one may truly command who has not first seen their shadow—and loved it without surrendering to it.
The mirror reveals not only distortion but divinity. It reflects both the masks we wear and the fire beneath. To walk the sovereign path is to accept reflection as sacrament.
In the mirror, we meet our forgotten names. In the mirror, we recall the faces we’ve denied. When we can gaze without flinching, we are ready to wear the flame-born crown—not of domination, but of lucid responsibility.
Let the mirror be polished not for vanity, but for truth. Let it reveal both ruin and royalty. And when you see clearly, raise the crown—not to rule others, but to rise within.
