Paths

AI training

Building, training and evaluating machine-learning models as a contemplative craft and as preparation for the Ten-galaxy expansion.

Chips

Study of semiconductor design and computing hardware – "the sand made to think".

Falconry

Partnership with raptors as a discipline of patience and sky-attention. Legal note: in the United States falconry requires federal and state permits (50 CFR §21.82) – an apprentice license, a written exam, approved facilities and a sponsor for at least two years; in California, through CDFW. Members may not take or keep raptors without a license.

Druidism

Nature-centred contemplation, seasonal festivals and tree-lore, drawing on modern Druid revival practice (e.g. OBOD).

Witchcraft and sorcery

Understood as spiritual practice – ritual, symbol, meditation, candle and herb work, divination (Divination Ledger). Helian doctrine forbids using any practice to harm, coerce or defraud anyone, and makes no claim of physical effect beyond the practitioner's own formation.
