#eye entity

Light is concerned with awareness, perception, information and importance. Void is concerned with indifference, confusion, secrets and irrelevance.

The Eye is concerned with the fear of being watched, exposed and having secrets known. The Dark is concerned with the fear of what may lurk in the dark.

Light and The Eye

Light is about exposing things - shining a light on something, and letting all of the information about it be known. Its symbols include light itself, luck and eyes. The Eye is about the fear of having too much importance, focus and attention placed upon you: having all of your information exposed. Light's connection with luck relates to The Eye in the sense that, if something lucky or unlucky happens to you, more eyes are placed on you (see: tripping over in public, winning the lottery). Jonathan Sims is a very good example of a Light player: he reads through statements aloud and exposes all of their information - even getting his assistants to find out more data about the statement - and his marks were often due to him being 'unlucky' (while The Web helped those events happen, the original mark of A Guest For Mr. Spider could not be more unfortunate).

Void and The Dark

Void is about keeping things hidden; obfuscating them. Its symbols include darkness, water or liquids, and pumpkins. The Dark is about the fear of not knowing what's hidden in the darkness. Its followers want to create a world of pure darkness, where nothing can be seen or known. Manuela Dominguez states, 'My work back then was a betrayal of my principles [of The Dark], for what is research and study if not doing the work of the light, taking what is true and hidden and rendering it revealed and imperfect'. The idiom 'keeping someone in the dark' means not letting them in on knowledge. The Dark also shares the symbol of water and liquid alongside Void, with Maxwell Rayner being drowned in a pool of dark water and Julia Montauk falling into a similar liquid when encountering the Church.
