The Dreamspeakers were assembled during the Grand Convocation by the Eurasian mages who weren’t quite sure to do with the varied practices and paradigms of their indigenous peers. Indigenous magick is a varied topic with rich gaming opportunity, but how do we add it to our games while being respectful? James Sambrano, Mage writer and scholar of North American and African Indigenous practices provides some best practices, pitfalls, resources, and recommendations to adding these paradigms and practitioners to your Mage game.
A Tribe Called Red’s tracks “Before” and “Soon” from We are the Halluci Nation.
