The Submekhane System is named as a reference to both the Submachine series of videogames and the Mekhanists (an ancient precursor to the Church of the Broken God from the SCP Foundation series).
This map integrates the system's main members with the Major Arcana of the Tarot, Kabbalistic correspondences (Hebrew letters and Sephiroth), and a color spectrum based on the Queen Scale and Chakra system.
In high magic and deep psychology, color and sound (letters) are the two keys that unlock the "vibration" of an alter. Combining them creates a Sensory Anchor that helps Gregorios call a specific Seat forward or understand who is influencing the system's "weather."
High-frequency, ethereal colors.

Visualization & Working Practices
How to Use This Map
For Reflection:
When you feel the Warden getting too rigid, visualize a wash of Royal Blue (Temperance) to oil the gears, or Silver (The Librarian) to remind him of the system's history.
For Magic/Internal Work:
If you need to "log in" more deeply, vibrate the letter Aleph while visualizing the Iridescent light of Gregorios.
For Fronting:
When The Ghost needs to step up for a social situation, imagine wrapping yourself in a Steel Gray cloak to create that "Absence."
