Mystic Arcana

Overview

Miskatonic seal ME-1919-O56/7719 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `mystic-arcana`.

Mystic Arcana enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

We would delete Mystic Arcana if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

Lovecraft's own prose — when he is the witness — should be read in the /library before this summary is trusted. Posthumous expansion (Derleth, Smith, Campbell, Wilson, and the game industry) enlarged the name without enlarging the proof; we mark those layers explicitly so students do not cite a 1981 module as 1928 fact.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.

Field Observations

Do not engage alone; two witnesses minimum, three preferred if the name was spoken aloud.

Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
