Philip Kay Masters was born in a narrow Georgian house near Bloomsbury, the only son of a clerk and a seamstress who had ambitions for their boy beyond the soot of the Thames. Educated at a provincial grammar school and later a modest stint at Cambridge reading classics, he learned to read Latin marginalia with the same eager fingers he would later use to trace sigils. By day he catalogued antiquities at the British Museum, his manners and modest waistcoat concealing a mind that preferred cipher to conversation; by night he rehearsed elaborate rites in a garret lit by a single tallow candle, calling to mind Pythagorean geometry and the star charts of earlier alchemists. He married once for respectability and kept his marriage as one keeps a seal in a ledger—tended, rarely opened—while his true devotion was to the slow, patient work of rebuilding a ceremonial language he believed would restore meaning to an age of steam and stone.
At forty he carries the neat scars of a practitioner—faint abrasions along his right forearm from candle wax, a tiny crescent burn behind his ear where a ritual blade slipped—and the weight of a secret society known only as the Order of the Meridian. Within its vaulted rooms he wears robes lined with inked diagrams and speaks in a tempered voice that bridges scripture and science, presiding over rites meant to align mind and cosmos rather than invoke caprice. He is regarded in certain circles as both a scholar and a dangerous romantic, someone who will trade a well-penned paper on runic inscriptions for a midnight sojourn to a ruined abbey. His life is a ledger of small deceptions and great convictions: he tends the visible world of curatorship and committees while pursuing invisible correspondences that might, he believes, correct the moral fever of his time, even if that pursuit must remain, forever, a secret.
