The Lexicon

The Lexicon preserves the language of the Lifestyle — its words, concepts and traditions. It records meaning; it never prescribes practice. Where usage varies between Houses or lineages, each is set down with equal respect.

Community

Mentorship

also known as mentor, protege

The transmission of skill, ethics and tradition from an experienced practitioner to a newer one.

Definition

Mentorship is one of the oldest ways the Lifestyle preserves itself. A mentor offers guidance, honest feedback, correction and connection to community. A protégé offers attention, honesty and the willingness to be shaped by what they learn. The relationship is not a dynamic in itself, though it can exist alongside one.
