Simple Instructions for Attaining the First Order
1st: Review our two tenets:
1.“The object of the search for religious truth, which is a universal and a never ending search, may be found through the Earth Mother, which is Nature; but this is one way, yea, one way among many. “
2. “And great is the importance, which is of a spiritual importance, of Nature, which is the Earth Mother; for is is one of the objects of Creation, and with it we do live, yea, even as we do struggle through life are we come face to face with it.”
Do they resonate with you? Are you in agreement with them?
If so, light a candle, ask the Earth Mother to witness, and solemnly repeat the following Pledge:
“ In dedication to the celebration of Life in its many forms, I hereby declare my commitment to a way of life that is ethical, benevolent, humanistic, life-affirming, ecstatic and ecologically sane. I subscribe to means and methods that are creative rather than destructive, tolerant rather than authoritarian, gentle rather than violent, inclusive rather than exclusive, egalitarian rather than hierarchical. I pledge myself to harmonious eco–psychic awareness with the total biosphere of holy Mother Earth.”
“Like an ancient Redwood, I would have my roots deep in the Earth and my branches reaching for the stars, the stars not only above but around me, my fellow humans, for “every man and woman is a star,” and “the good of the many outweighs the good of the few,” from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs.”
“I acknowledge my personal responsibility for myself, to my fellow humans, and to the whole of Nature; and I recognize this total responsibility, in each of us, as the source of our infinite freedom to become who we are and do what we will. I dedicate myself to my own inner growth and development that I may be of greater service to myself and the world around me. For these reasons I recognize Divinity both within and without, and I say to myself and others: THOU ART G-D.”
“I wish to unite with others upon a spiritual path that encompasses the whole of the universe, and hereby make application to join the pantheon of the Reformed Druids of Gaia, in order that we may learn together and teach each other ways to bring about these ends.”
“So say we all!”
Congratulations – you have just joined the Reformed Druids of Gaia, and our First Order!
