The Sigilhouse opens its doors to all whose spirituality and/or world view recognises a Magical perspective. For some of us the concept of Magic is not limited to fanciful nursery tales or ignorant superstition; neither is it a concept which has been rendered powerless by the onrush of science and technology. For some of us the recognition of the *possibility* of Magic is an essential element in the state of being truly and effectively human. We may disagree on the detail of what Magic actually is - ranging our views along a wide spectrum which will include points such as a tendency toward the mystical in aesthetic or artistic taste, ritualistic psychological personal empowerment, pagan and/or Magical spirituality, harnessing cosmic energies to have real effects on the 'real' world... - but what we have in common is that our language, thought and our view of the universe is either driven by or at least accommodates The Magical on some significant level. The Sigihouse aims to provide virtual community - fellowship, inspiration, networking and shared resources - for this loose grouping of individuals. Some will be in accord on a number of beliefs and opinions and in their sense of purpose, while some will connect only on a few mutual levels. The single thread which holds them all together, though, will be a sense that there is something of value here within the portals of the Sigilhouse - something worth contributing to and worth dropping in here for, often or occasionally, in terms of developments, newly added resources, or to catch up with the chat in the forums. Something, we believe, that is in and of itself Magical. If you have any questions about the Sigilhouse, please feel free to contact me.

It is referred to as the Flammarion Woodcut because its first documented appearance is in page 163 of Camille Flammarion's L'atmosphère: météorologie populaire (Paris, 1888), a work on meteorology for a general audience. The woodcut depicts a man peering through the Earth's atmosphere as if it were a curtain to look at the inner workings of the universe. The caption in Flammarion's book translates as 'A missionary of the Middle Ages tells that he had found the point where the sky and the Earth touched...'" ]
