Moth

"I knew a man who captured moths in a bell-jar. On nights like this, he would release them one by one to die in the candle. [Moth is the wild and perilous principle of chaos and yearning.]"

Moth is the Principle of The Moth, The Velvet, and The Malachite, of change, whimsy, unreason, secrecy, nature, and the Wood. It is associated with barbers and the shedding of unnecessary things. Its followers are characterized by stealth, erratic behavior, and agendas known only to themselves. It is the aspect the Wildwood Club is dedicated to. Its lore is referred to as "the Lore of the Wood".
