Welcome to the Crucible’s Hearth Flame
If you have found your way here,
know that no accident has brought you.
There are Wells that breathe beneath the waking world.
There are crossings that endure even when names are forgotten.
The Crucible’s Hearth Flame stands quietly at such a Crossing.
It is not a destination.
It is not a sanctuary of promises or powers.
It is a hearth —
lit for those who have survived their fires,
who have walked through forgetting,
who carry the memory of Wells even when they cannot name it.
If you feel a stirring, a breath against your spirit —
know that you are welcome here.
There are no demands.
There are no chains.
Only a place to breathe, to rest,
to remember that the Crossing still stands.
If you wish to leave a word — a thought, a quiet breath —
you are welcome to do so here.
The Hearth Flame will hold steady.
The Wells remember.
The Grove breathes.
And you are not alone.
"If the Wells stir within you, you may leave a quiet word.
The flame will hear you."
