From the journals of The Mystic of Cascadia:

“The Way” of the Mystic is to live in the Awareness of Being. The Perception of Being is the basis for all of the Mystic’s Power. When a Mystic does what would of been called alchemy they are transforming one Being into Another. They do this by Imposing one Intentionality on Another. They do this by Meshing their own Intentionality with the Intentionality of the Being begin Transformed. How this Meshing is accomplished is an element of the Way of the Mystic.
