The Forge is radically inclusive but it is not neutral.
The Path of the Crucible is spiritually agnostic – anyone is welcome to bring their own beliefs, guides, or none at all. I’ve worked with pagans, atheists, Christians, and everyone in between. The only requirement is respect for the process and the courage to face yourself.
The Forge is, however, part of the Veythariel Flame family, which is built upon my own practice with chthonic entities. This work is guided by the spirits I collaborate with, most notably Lucifer – my spirit guide and partner – and other chthonic and infernal spirits including Asmodeus, Lilith and Hecate. Their presence is not metaphorical. Their current is not for show. It’s the fire that burns away the illusions and leaves only what’s real.
Because these currents inform every aspect of my work, it also shapes the nature of the transformation that many people experience. Lucifer’s energy is not malevolent, but it is catalytic and disruptive. It is the heat within the crucible. As I channel his current through my work, the transformation it sets into motion is rarely gentle and seldom slow. His light strips away what is false, revealing what remains when you stop apologising for who you are. That process can be confronting, uncomfortable and, ultimately, profoundly liberating.
When working with me in the Crucible, you do not need to believe as I do, or worship anything at all. In this space you will never be asked to work directly with these spirits; you will simply be working with me as your guide and mentor. You are welcome, and actively encouraged, to bring your own guides, beliefs, traditions and spiritual practices into the process. The Crucible is not about replacing your path, but about supporting transformation within it.
You do need to understand the nature of the work you are choosing to undertake. I have seen lives overturned overnight – unhealthy relationships ended, dead-end jobs resigned from, closets burnt down and secrets finally spoken after decades of silence. Think of the current here as the equivalent of The Tower in Tarot – it destroys what imprisons you so you can become something more.
For this reason, every client is asked to read and sign an informed consent and disclaimer before we begin, acknowledging both the nature of the process and your responsibility for the choices you make throughout it.
Transformation is rarely comfortable, and it is never promised to be pleasant. If you want real change, this is where you’ll find it.
Your consent is sacred – your comfort is not.
