What is recorded here
Magic is not invention when identity and memory are the substance. Clonmoney West may contain a chamber where that substance is still being built. The claim is not that a fairy appeared somewhere else, but that distinction and life are appearing through this chamber. Everything written is the journal of that appearing.
