Beyond the Ascensions
You are received a Sorceress, and remain one always.
The Matronage of the Veil is a path apart — not a climb, but a station already arrived at. She who enters receives everything the ascent would give — the whole of La Grande Arte, the rites and deeper teachings, a House, a sisterhood that knows her name — the substance, without the striving, and is held forever as a Sorceress and a Mother of the Veil. It is for women of forty-six and beyond, and it is entered by personal welcome, not by form. To enter is $5,033, and $800 each year thereafter.
Ask to be received ↓To take the Matronage is to take the standing of a Sorceress and keep it for life — a House, a true name within it, and a place in the Maison that is yours without condition and without end. The Mothers of the Veil have no rungs left to climb. They have arrived.
Theirs is a place at Notte Velata, the one night the whole Maison gathers, and the Matronalia — a rite kept for the Mothers alone. A station of this kind is not taken at a checkout. It begins with a welcome: a conversation with a woman of the Maison, who receives you herself.
A woman of the Maison will receive you — to speak, to know you, and to welcome you as a Mother of the Veil. Watch for her word.
