THE RISE OF THE CRAFT

The origin of witchcraft traces back to the Wicce, an ancient bloodline whose children did not always inherit power, but often preserved its knowledge.

Across generations, fragments of Wicce discipline survived and were passed down. These teachings included herbal and elemental alchemy, sigilcraft, mirror rites, and binding magic—early attempts to manipulate unseen forces and mimic the flow of Vitalis.

In time, those practices fractured. Some pursued natural knowledge and remained light-aligned, using what they had inherited with restraint and reverence.

Others sought more. Driven by greed, hunger, or desperation, they looked for power not in balance, but in the Curse.

From that surrender came true witchcraft. Witches are not born through inheritance alone, but through the willing yielding of the soul in exchange for power drawn from what was broken in creation.

Thus the witch did not arise as a continuation of the Wicce, but as a corruption of what had once been preserved.
