_edit_ . _edit sections_

Since the dawn of time, there have always been those that sought to control everyone else. Hiding the truth from the world, such people attempt to rob us of our freedom of choice. However, there are always those who resist. We are that resistance; operating as a network of individuals, we seek to expose the hidden truth to the world, and defend the common man from those who seek to suppress us.

Our goal? Liberty. We shall free the world from the grip of the Authority, tearing the veil of "normalcy" and establishing a new era where the occult and humanity co-exist side by side.

What We Do

We protect the rights of humanity to know of the supernatural. We guard those who have been gifted with occult talents or items. We know that "occult" is not inherently evil, nor should it be hidden under a bushel. We spread word of the paranormal through letters, newspapers, books, and various other means of sharing information, publicizing information in large doses faster than our enemies can censor it. We prepare traps and ambushes for our enemies when they attempt to oppress those under our protection.

We studiously research the world of the supernatural, practicing so-called "forbidden" arts such as hermeticism¹. We strive to unlock the secrets of nature, rather than hiding behind a wall of materialism as our enemies do. We use various rituals and divinations to defend ourselves, and to lay siege to the enemy².

We share our discoveries with one another through a sophisticated information network that, for security reasons, cannot be described on such an unsecure medium. We spread out amongst the populous, hiding in plain sight amongst the common man. When we do gather in communities or events, we employ various mundane and supernatural defenses to ensure our safety. In addition to information, we also employ an "underground railroad" of sorts, harboring those who seek sanctuary, and leading them to a safe place.

Alas, we must admit that not all aspects of the supernatural world are divine. There are an abundance of demons, witches, and unholy abominations of nature that we must face. Not to mention the wicked organizations and individuals who bastardize God's beautiful creation. For them, we lash out with force, tearing down their strongholds, breaking the chains of their prisoners, and laying waste to their cruel inventions.

For Writers

• the Union is an antithesis to the Authority: while the authority is heavily organized and compartmentalized, the Union is disorganized and interconnected. While the Authority is clinical & secular, the Union is personal & religious/spiritual.
• Tone-wise, a Union document should read similarly to an article in a creationist magazine. Regular references to scripture, religious allegories, sources pulled from all over the place, etc. However, while the Union started out as a protestantism based organization, in more modern times it's branched out to include other mystic practices as well.
• Due to it's individualistic and communications-based nature, the majority of the Union's documentation consists of letters and journals. For ones closer to the modern day, emails may also occasionally be used, but they mostly stick to letters, due to email being less secure.

Document Template

Due to the Union's nature, the "template" is more of a set of guidelines. This only covers general structure; formatting is up to you. You can deviate from this structure depending on the medium your document is supposed to be (A letter to a peer, a peer-reviewed journal, field notes, guide, instruction manual, etc.)

+ Peer-Reviewed Journal Template

Title (i.e. "Fairies: an introductory guide to the wee folk")
Author (can be anonymous)

Main image (additional images scattered throughout are encouraged)

preamble

body (can be divided into different segments, but doesn't have to be)

• description
• history
• across cultures (if you use segments, be sure to give them a unique title; the Union isn't one for standardization)

concluding thoughts

further research (essentially the bibliography; link any background research that went into the article. The Union is more public than the Authority, so the majority of their anomalies would be heavily based on folklore, urban legends, fringe science, mystic beliefs, etc.)

Footnotes

1. A doctrine that affirms the existence of a single, true theology that is present in all religions and that was given by God to man in antiquity. Practices include things like alchemy, astrology, and sigils.

2. Exact practices vary by denomination and individual. For instance, many members consider hermeticism to be witchcraft rather than a study of the occult world.
