I · Practical witchcraft

Wonder takes
a little preparation.

Know the spell. Find its ingredients. Make room to prepare it. Then decide when a little magic is worth the moss.

Help woodland neighbours, read your Grimoire and keep track of promises in your Field Journal. Lessons grow into small, self-contained stories. You can explore optional errands in your own order, and return to unfinished business after the ending.

There is real-time danger, too. A useful spell, a careful approach or a borrowed fox shape may be the wiser answer. Wayfinder offers a brief bearing; the discoveries are yours.

A first lesson, freely given

An adventure
of your own.

Begin in Foxwood at First Circle with Witch Light and Wayfinder. Hester’s lessons lead to Second Circle; Tichibah’s work in Stonefrost earns Third.

Hushpine brings this journey to a proper close. Stay for supper, revisit a favourite path or finish the promises still in your journal.

This is the whole little adventure. There is no countdown, purchase to finish it or account to create.

II · The road from Foxwood

Eight reaches.
One first journey.

A trail index, in travel order.
Take the winding path.

  1. Foxwood

    Begin with Hester. Gather ingredients, make preparations and learn what a spell asks of you.

  2. Winding

    Follow the winding path. A raven has very particular ideas about a picnic.

  3. Bracken

    Read the field notes. Curious woodland lives reward a patient observer.

  4. Briar

    Call on the neighbours. A small delivery can require an unexpected piece of witchcraft.

  5. Rime

    Visit the trading glade. Mind your provisions before the road turns cold.

  6. Stonefrost

    Find Tichibah’s shelter lesson. Put your learning to work and earn Third Circle.

  7. Howlglass

    Read the danger in the mountain pass. Good preparation matters here.

  8. Hushpine

    Bring the first journey to its close. There are letters, supper and old promises to return to.
