The Spheres

The Nine Spheres of Magick are the cornerstone of the Nine Traditions, with each sphere a symbol not only esoterically but relatively representative of the Tradition that governs their particular sphere. Without the spheres there would be no Magick. Without the Spheres, there would be no reality.

Before the Grand Conclave of 1614 there were hundreds of spheres. Each tribe, clan, unit, coven, and convention had their own sphere and their own name for a sphere. It wasn't until The Grand Conclave that these wild morass of spheres came to be reduced to nine in number. No sphere was eliminated from the reckoning but, rather, incorporated together to become the Master Sphere. The Sphere of the Bellicose Flame, the Sphere on the Northern Tundra, the Sphere of the Wu Shao Wing, for instance, were all brought together to become the Master Sphere of Forces. Thus we ended up with Nine Spheres. Nine Spheres for the Nine Traditions.

1.  Correspondence  The Sphere of Correspondence is the sphere of communication, movement, direction, and transference. Those that practice within Correspondence are able to send messages long distance, trans-locate and by that I mean teleportation, be in multiple places at once, and other such feats. In conjunction with other spheres such as Matter and Forces the Master of Correspondence is able to conjure a snow storm to affect another sate or pull weapons from a storage unit to their hands in the blink of an eye. Correspondence is an often under-rated sphere but only by those whom don't truly understand its potential. A Master of Correspondence is able to conjure up multiple copies of himself, arm those copies, and become his own personal militia. Correspondence is used yo send secret messages without fear of interception, a Master could simply whisper the message and have it be heard by the intended recipient even should that recipient by in another room, another state, or another continent. A Master of Correspondence can, quite literally, move mountains. The common foci for the sphere are those items that suggest transportation: pen and pencil sets, laptop computers, toy cars, simple program codes, old tennis shoe laces, bird feathers, or dead old fashioned flip cell phones just to name a few. The original masters of the Correspondence sphere was the lost Tradition of the Ah-li-Batin out of the Middle-East. When the arm of the Technocracy called Iteration X defected to the Traditions in 1960 they renamed themselves the Virtual Adepts and claimed Correspondence as their own.
