Intentional complex relationships.

Love Triad

The progression of the ideas of the ancient mysteries may be variously expressed, but since the time of Pythagoras the mysteries have been understood as best represented by the numbers of mathematics. The first mystery would thus be associated with the number One, which may be thought of as solitude, in the context of personal relationships. The mystery of the number Two is quite different, and comprises the familiar yang and yin of the cosmos: the pair bonding of two people. The number Three, however, is the number of Magic, whence ensues an endlessly unfolding panorama of potential possibilities.

Many people only know of triangles from the point of view of the problems associated with them. It is true that a triangle increases the potential for change, but that is the strength of its magic when it is done creatively and intentionally to form a stable complex relationship of three or more people. When it works, a successful triangle is incredibly powerful.

Solitude: 1 = 0 Priest, Magician, or Madman

Pair Bond: 1 + 1 = 2 Primary Yin and Yang of Life

Triangle: 2 + 1 = 8 Very Powerful Magic

The basic arrangement

One, two, and then the power of three.

This website is intended as an open-ended vehicle for users to interpret and customize as they see fit. For example, we use the ordinary designations of "man and woman," but you are welcome to define these terms as you please. Far be it from us to attempt to stuff anyone into a smaller box than they feel comfortable in, or into any box at all, for that matter. Also, while Three is the core milestone for an intentional complex relationship, it is entirely possible to form larger social units, and you may certainly express any of that in your profile introduction and search queries.
