Twenty-six seats, twenty-six pigments

Circle of Houses

The alphabet stands in a wheel, A at the top. Around it sits a color wheel — each letter a mineral, amber at dawn walking the spectrum back to ochre. A Letter Path is three letters. Its color is those three pigments in one pot: house half, manner three-tenths, field two-tenths.

Mix a color

Choose which seat you are setting — house, manner, or field — then tap a letter. The well in the middle is the mix. That mix is the Letter Path’s color.

Setting the house. Tap a letter on the wheel.

House of the Creator

You make something that was not there yesterday.

GViridianG on the wheel

Old tables call this Pearson Creator · the living workEarth · spring · the green work. A likeness, not a creed. On the wheel this house sits Viridian.

Unused ability turns against you. The Creator is not only for artists. It is the need to bring something into form. What you will not make, you will eventually criticize. What you tend, grows.

The mineral scale

Every letter keeps one pigment. Vowels sit a little lighter. Tap any chip to set the house and keep mixing.

Allies

These three complete this house’s work.

  • Making is love with hands. The Creator and the Lover refuse a life that only watches.

  • What is tended grows. The grove and the garden are the same work from two sides.

  • Living work needs a rim that is not a wall. The Priestess knows how to keep that circle.

Enemies

These three work against it — a blind spot, not a villain.

  • A made thing can flee the real. The cloister can refuse to make anything and call the emptiness holy.

  • Increase, and the death that lets the next form live. Make, or undo. The argument that grows a soul.

  • The Creator wants a season. The Trickster will not promise one. Both keep the work from becoming a factory.
