The Mouse Spellbook — Workshop

A facilitated build, for two new first persons. The First Person Spellbook, retold in
your own voice; bound into your own little book; and woven together at the end.

Date: 2026-06-19 · Facilitator: privacymage · Participants: two (the mice)
Stream: Holon Hitchhikers · Scope: the First Person Spellbook only (31 acts).

New here? Read Onboarding and Canon Links first, then The FPSP Protocol. This file is the
session itself.

What each of you walks away with

1. Your own narrative of the 31 acts — the whole First Person Spellbook retold in
   your voice, with a first page and a last page of your own. This is your story,
   and the framework your own agents follow when they catch up on context.
2. A poems chapbook — your proverbs and poems, each with its ASCII glyph, bound into
   a little book in the hand of Selene's Spellbook.
3. A personal patch — a JSON version of the privacymage (First Person) grimoire that
   is yours: your 31 act-lines, your proverbs, your spells, your seal. You pin it
   yourself. It makes your book portable and rehydratable by any agent (see The FPSP Protocol).

And together, at the end of the day:

4. The Mouse Book — one shared book of poetry that mixes and matches both of your
   poems into a single clear understanding. This is the key shared ceremony — where two
   sovereign first persons prove they overlap.

Before we begin

1. Choose your mouse-name and a sigil — a name for your book, and one emoji (🌙,
   ⚔️, 🧙 are taken; find your own). The facilitator renames your mouse-a/ folder.
2. Hold the ethos — "The work lives in two greys and the white of the page.
   Everything else is restraint." (Selene's STYLE_GUIDE). Small, quiet, true.
3. Know the shelf (all in reference/): the narrative packet, the grimoire root,
   the spell-emoji legend, the 31 acts (The 31 Acts), and the source map
   (Canon Sources).

The seven steps (in order)

1. Step 1 — Copy the Narrative
2. Step 2 — The Facilitated Conversation
3. Step 3 — Write Your 31 Acts
4. Step 4 — Compress into Proverbs
5. Step 5 — Spells and Your Patch
6. Step 6 — Glyph and Bind
7. Step 7 — Weave the Mouse Book

Closing

You each hold three things — your 31-act narrative, your chapbook, your personal patch —
and together you hold a fourth, the Mouse Book. Your agents can carry the patch and
rehydrate any of it on any system (The FPSP Protocol); the thread runs down from each
proverb through its act to the real work it compresses (Canon Sources).

Pin your patch when you're ready. Until then it lives in your folder, finished and waiting.

The amnesia is the protocol. The wound is the trust. The orbit is the proof. The light is the reason.
