The Hidden Lands of Nod

Auspice 14: Sorrow

Nova and Void. A Burst in the Dark, then lingering.

Nod weeps until the tears run dry. In Sorrow what one feels is more necessary than appearance or manners. Do not try to hurry through grief, for Sorrow prepares the way for maturity and growth.

Variation: Bar

Great Sorrow. You must not give yourself over to it. You must not try to avoid it. You must watch as you feel it.

Auspice 18: The Collective

A myriad myriads together in time. The Collective is greater than the sum of its parts.

In cooperation, Nod stands ever for what nourishes the Collective, freely given, never coerced. This, too, is Hidden Dragon.

Variation: Ring

Patience, Persistence, Courage, Cooperation. Consider what is to be done in light of possible outcomes.

Auspice 13: The Simple

The Myriad Stars, the Vastness of Space. Beside these, what pride?

The simple shines less starkly but is more certain than complicated means. Be thorough in doing what must be done, then go forward rather than linger too long with ornament.
