VI I.I Follow the Wonderer

All the concepts in this book follow 3 main principles: first, an inspiration of the tarot preliminal-liminalpostliminal journey, second, a removal from mundania, and third, the heart of Esoteria: the fire. Before you is a preliminary concept design for a social space formed by the journey of the wonderer around the fire - haphazardly as human nature always is.

Numinous Place

Before you is a preliminary concept design focused on a continuous linear journey and borrowing from the idea of numinous spaces - where a divine mystery is felt - and the ever-curious mystery of the universe.

VI I.I V Burning Desire for Wonder

Here, the wonderers are embers around a flame, in dynamic motion and orbiting the symbolic Fire. The space lifts up at its ends so as to give the opposite feeling of being grounded, for wonder shall always elevate you.

Note: This is Book III of a Wondrous Trilogy. You may now proceed back into Mundania. What you choose to do next is in your hands.
