The Rite of Recognition

The Assemblies
are gathering.

The Curious Cauldron has long served as a place where the Assemblies may gather beyond the notice of the ordinary world.

Within its walls, old rivalries may be tested without becoming divisions, knowledge may be exchanged without being exposed, and those who carry a spark of magic may speak openly about the work they do in service to themselves and their neighbors.

The Rite of Recognition is one of the Cauldron’s older traditions. It does not determine who you are or where you belong. Instead, it asks you to consider the values that guide you and reveals which Assembly most closely champions them at this moment in your journey.

Answer six questions and discover which Assembly recognizes something familiar in the way you meet the world.

Once each year, representatives of the Assemblies gather at the Curious Cauldron in friendly competition. They test their wit, courage, curiosity, resourcefulness, and capacity to strengthen those around them.

Every mission completed and every secret uncovered adds Sparks to an Assembly’s tally.

The competition is real.

So is the purpose behind it.

For generations, the Assemblies have understood that strength held only for oneself is of limited use. The Gathering gives each Assembly an opportunity to demonstrate what it can contribute while learning from the strengths of its neighbors.

The number and names of the Assemblies have never been fixed. They have changed as communities have changed, appearing, merging, and sometimes disappearing when different ways of understanding or responding became necessary.

Before the final candle gutters, one Assembly will earn the Cauldron’s favor.

But the Hearth is stronger because all are invited.
