DRIKEYU: THREE KEYS
Etymology of Drikeyu:
The formation of the name Drikeyu is formed as a compound Dri/Dre ‘Three’ + Keyu/Cǣga ‘Keys.’ I created this compound in 2010 to describe three concepts together as a collective, and using one word of distinctive form, that were interconnected, often misunderstood and mistranslated, and very old cosmological principles. Sometimes only one is mentioned; sometimes two; never all three in ancient texts. Their associations have often been likewise misapplied due in part to a lack of knowledge of the meaning of the words themselves.
However, once one knows the true meaning of each one, the concepts associated with each, and how they are interconnected properly, they prove to have much deeper, far more immanent and transcendent implications worthy of deep contemplation. In fact, all three transcend all concepts of the scientific, philosophical, theological and cultural which applies to a whole tradition. This makes the concept of the Drikeyu, perhaps, the most important foundation of Druwayu as a whole as it binds together far more than most tend to appreciate.
Key 1: Worloga:
It is a combination of the words variously spelled as of Wor/Vor/Fora/Fara/ “Fore’ + Loga/Lagu/Laga/Lagh/Loghe/Loh/Loi, etc., “Laws.’ It’s pronounced Wore-low-ah. The meaning is Fore Laws or called Primal Laws. This key symbolizes the Eternal Immutable Cosmic Laws to which all things are bound. These laws are expressed in the concept of designs, patterns, mathematic structures and shapes. These laws are unchanged, unchanging and absolute, governing the order and structure of the universe and predating it.
Worloga is the foundation upon which all existence rests, ensuring harmony in the natural world and beyond, and to which all things are bound. All things are contingent and dependent upon these laws, known and unknown. The very concept of mathematics is an expression of Worloga. It’s rigid, inevitable, and unavoidable being the unmoved and immovable foundation of everything that was, is or ever can or will be. Yet it requires a something to be manifested and expressed through.
Being the first key and the expression of the fundamental directive rules as patterns and designs serving as instructive codes that direct and determine how things can and are able to work, function and are processed, as well as demonstrating an expression of intelligence far beyond comprehension that predate everything and are inescapable and unavoidable, we have 5 main realizations in regards to the Worloga.
-
They are not physical.
-
They predate the physical.
-
They are not subject to or can be changed by the physical.
-
They establish the patterns or designs for the physical.
-
They are only knowable through observations of the physical.
Key 2: Wyrda
It means Works. It has been spelled several ways, including wyrkh, werg, uerg, uerch, weorh, wert, werk, uarge, arg, argr, ergi, ergy as in energy and urge also meaning work in the sense of “press, move, and set in motion.” It’s pronounced Weer-dah. From it also descends “word” (expression), “ward” (protection), and “worth” (contribution). It represents the Eternal Reciprocal Dynamics that shape everything and embodies the interconnections and interdependence of all things.
It is the force that drives change and transformation and allows for the diversity of evolution, weaving the threads of existence and affording their entire individual though limited free wills. Wyrda reminds us that every action has a reaction, every cause has an effect, and every choice has a consequence, creating a simple yet complex dynamic and ever-evolving tapestry of life and ultimate the universe itself in constant change.
In this it is in and of itself flexible, adaptable, changeable, and reconciling and the very force and principle of creation, preservation, destruction, renewal, restoration and invention. In and of itself it also does nothing without a directive and guiding principle. It must have its instructions to act, plans to follow, patterns to weave and build into being, and something to build from in order for anything to be brought into being according to such instructions, plans and patterns.
Being the second key and the express of the fundamental processes set in motion abiding and being instructed by the Worloga in a state of constant change and adaptation that express the laws, maintain the processes and cycles of everything, and determines the necessary contributions each and everything provides in relation to all other things, from the unimaginably large to the incomprehensibly small, we have 6 main realizations in regards to the Wyrda.
-
They are not physical.
-
They predate the physical.
-
They shape the physical.
-
They regulate the reciprocal dynamics of the physical.
-
They are reflected through and expressed by the physical.
-
They are only knowable through observations of the physical
Key 3: Wihas
It is both a plural and a singular. It means life. It has been spelled several ways and akin to Vita ‘life.’ It’s pronounced W-eh-haw-s. Some of these forms of spelling include wihta, wiht, wihht, wuht, wyt, wighte, wighȝt, wiȝt(e), wiȝth, weiht, weiha, wīh, wekti, whight, wigt, wīha, wīhaz, wēoh, and in like manner links directly to the words for living thing such as but not limited to wai, wa, wae, viht, vihta, vigt, veiht, vae, vaetr, vé, véttr, vaettr, vekti, vätte, vætte, vette, fā, fae, fey, fay, faer, faet, and fata to name just a few. It signifies the Eternal Uncaused and Uncreated power and essence of all things, including life itself. It is that power, energy and essence that permeates everything here and beyond.
It is the primordial source from which all existence springs forth and the boundless energy that infuses every living being with its existence, and also the essence of all things to which all things eventually return one way or another. Wihas is the spark of life that ignites the mind, becomes the soul and is the fuel everything needs in order to be. It is that same uncaused and uncreated essence that cannot be destroyed; only the forms in which it is expressed can be, and as such it can naturally change from one form to another and be made into something else.
Yet in and of itself it is mindless and impersonal, it is power, and it does nothing and can do nothing on its own. It requires a directive agent, cause and shaping force to become or be expressed or shaped into anything while in and of itself cannot otherwise be directly observed or known. Even a particle and a wave are forms of the Wihas and therefore is nothing in that it cannot be compared to anything else, and everything, because all things are forms and expressions of it and ultimately it is ever malleable
Being the third key and the express of the fundamental essence and power that is the unknowable ‘nothing that becomes something’ in all things and from which all things return one way or another; we have 7 main realizations in regards to the Wihas.
-
It is not physical.
-
It predates the physical.
-
It is the single essence of the physical and the spiritual.
-
It cannot be created or destroyed regardless the forms it is expressed in.
-
It can only be changed into different physical and non-physical forms.
-
It is to which all physical and spiritual things dissolve back into.
-
It can only knowable through observations of the physical.
Contemplation and Realizations
On the surface, some will realize that linguistically the Worloga is Masculine, Wyrda is feminine and Wihas is neutral. For some it may be important because of the connections this alone implies. For others it is of no significance. However, as both perspectives are true to a point, they are equally distracting from a deeper realization of their interdependence and interconnections. If one truly contemplates one of them and truly things deeply, one will inevitably come to realize and recognize the other two. Some of this has already been expressed. For clarification one sees three simple factors.
-
If you remove the Wihas, there is no essence of anything and there can be no thing f any kind, especially us.
-
If you remove the Wyrda, nothing can be brought into being and given shape from the Wahas, and it remains unexpressed, formless and stagnant.
-
If you removed the Worloga, there is no guidance for the Wyrda and the Wyrda does nothing having no direction or guidance to give shapes to the Wihas.
It matters not by what language or tongue one speaks of them as. They will always be the same concepts with the same basic realizations. One reveals the other two. The other two always reveal the one. They are not bound by the demands, decrees, whims, desires, dispositions, wills, hopes, fears or biases of any being including but not limited to humanity. They are observable in everything and everyone, around everything and everyone, and beyond everything and everyone if one opens their mind and their eyes to see and realize them. When they do we can go deeper.
-
The Worloga requires the Wyrda to express it through the forms of the Wihas.
-
The Wyrda requires the Worloga for instructions to shape the forms of the Wihas.
-
The Wihas does nothing on its own and remains inactive without the Wyrda to shape it and the Worloga to define the patterns for its forms.
-
The Wihas empowers the Worloga to manifest and be expressed by the Wyrda, and empowers the Wyrda to express the Worloga in its forms.
-
Remove the Worloga and there is no direction for the Wyrda to shape the Wihas.
-
Remove the Wyrda and there is no shaping of the Wihas or expressing the Worloga.
-
Remove the Wihas and there is nothing to empower the Worloga to be expressed through the Wyrda or essence for the Wyrda to shape and thus, no existence.
Compatible with Basic Sciences
Some of the basic concepts that directly relate to the basic concepts of the sciences, especially within the context of physics (not the theoretical but the actually known principles of laws, dynamics and energy) are already present in the previous information so there is truly no need to repeat what has already been expressed as such repetition is unnecessary. When we consider these factors it isn't all that difficult or illogical to appreciate and respect those connections.
Compatible with Basic Theology
In this we already have a long history of the association of the Worloga with Godan, or the Laws of Nature with God in the most basic sense. It is no accident that we should also find the similar connection with the concepts of Warlocks as representation such laws and as such, contrary to later imposed fictions, representatives of the will of God/Godan himself, specifically a Head Warlock.
It is also known that the Wyrda associated wit the three Goddesses with weaving the works as in the role of demiurges cooperatively has a long history of association with Witches, specifically three Head Witches. As already presented, the connection with the various words for living things both in the physical and spiritual sense as two sides of one whole reality is also present in the concept of the Wihas, an aspect of the Drikeyu seldom recognized, realized or appreciated.
The cultural can also be defined as spirituality interwoven with and part of the theological aspect of a society itself with the social and spiritual associations with the Drikeyu based on the associations like the theological which has also often been divided up and fragmented in a variety of ways of many diverse individuals with their own biases as unjust self justifications for why they chose to do so and have taken many extreme strides to try and force such things to be forgotten and erased from the historical record. This preserves what has been unjustifiably suppressed, obscured and often times erased and yet must never be suppressed or forgotten.
Compatible with Basic Philosophies
Almost all fail to realize the philosophic aspect of these concepts and how such philosophic foundations also link directly to the very core concepts of society as a whole and how one should consider themselves and the society in which they find themselves. Yet, even though forgotten consciously, the same basic principles are expressed in one form or another within the cultures that retain them:
-
Worloga expresses the necessity for our laws to be in harmony with one another and with the natural order of things as a lawless or excessively legalistic culture will trip itself apart. They also must be applied equally to all just as the laws of nature are and to which all are subject regardless if they like it or not.
-
Wyrda expresses the value of one's words and works being in alignment wherein the ward their worth within themselves and within their families, among their friends and among their neighbors. In other words, the thought does not count without action, good or bad. Warding ones Worth literally means protecting one's reputation by keeping their word and following through with their deeds. The consequences for failing will always bring shame upon oneself and those around them.
-
Wihas, which is the core value that has been left out far too much expresses the fact that through we are diverse and individuals unto ourselves, and should respect one another's autonomous self determination, we must also recognize we are all already one in the same essence and life force that connects us to one another and everything else, so what occurs with one effects the whole. Its a far deeper appreciation of life guided by necessity and in harmony wit the laws of the universe. In turn it also makes it clear we are not the focus of life and all being but we are the custodians of our world and if we do not provide for one another and in harmony with the world in which we rose into being ourselves, we perish and will take far too much with us in the process. So all are necessary and no one is truly expendable.
In this sense, proper behavior and seeking to be responsible with reasonable benevolence is not just some "evolved" moral and ethical concept. It is an essential feature of life itself which people cannot appreciate or understand without these factors of knowledge, wisdom and understanding leading to that fundamental truth of all things. This does not push off into the extremes of vegan life styles or the various other things that are invented that are simply not true or essential to our nature and basic needs. it also means we should enjoy what we can as we can with one another and not at the expense of others, so there is indeed a deeper sense of compassion in that regards. However, those that "don't like" things that seem to have a sense of "reward and punishment" are being childish failing to accept everything has its consequence, regardless if you call it a reward or punishment or something else. Its the same thing and only those that pretend to have no responsibilities are the ones that object the most.
Greater Elaboration
Worloga: It is regarded as the principle concept of the necessity for civilization and its ability to properly govern itself and to maintain harmony and structure as long as the cultural laws are in harmony with and reflective of natural laws and as the common laws of the common people. The basic sense is without clear and specific laws a culture and civilization is always doomed when not apply such impersonally and equally to collapse into chaos.
Therefore laws must be clear, specific and equal and all subject to the same laws regardless of their popularity or titles or ranks and without special consideration or treatment. They must be equal, uniform, straight forward, complimentary rather than contradictory, apply equally to everyone and everything and devoid of any options of or for favoritism or special considerations, while also being stern but not tyrannical, uncompromising but not unfair or unreasonable, and subject to revision when deemed necessary by the will of the majority, not the dictations or declarations of a of a few and abides by all.
In addition, there must be caution not to impose too many or excessive laws that suppress or oppress reasonable amounts of freedoms, independence of wills, thoughts and expressions, nor limit or suppress freedom of communication as such things inevitably will cause a civilization to tear itself apart placing too much and needless pressure upon itself and those that compose its citizenship. Such laws bust also insures the protection and security of the civilization without compromising freedom or privacy.
Wyrda: It is regarded as the principle concept of the necessity of ethics, their proper application to the concepts of morality and moral dispositions, and of the important that one’s words that matches their works, thereby warding their reputation which in turn establishes their worth within their culture. It is also considered important to maintain that harmony in accordance with and complimentary to the laws of a civilization and failure to properly maintain such things, twisting ones words will also corrupt their works, which in turn ruins their reputations and removes their worth to their culture and civilization as a whole.
It shows us we cannot avoid consequences. Every thought, word and work (deed), public or private, regardless how subtle, how basic, or how dramatic, and regardless of our opinions about it, everything we are or are not aware off has a consequence. If we point a finger at one, we have three fingers pointing back at ourselves. What we take can be taken.
What we give can be given. What we want others will want. What one needs others will also need. What we can change we can change. What we cannot change we cannot change. We can pretend to be will never truly be and if we persist in pretense we lose ourselves in self deceit because pretending does not make true. One may seem to get away with some things, however, eventually consequences of every action, inaction, reaction and interaction is inevitable for better or worse.
When such things that are harmful and unnecessary are not reprimanded and those doing such take on the false sense there are no detrimental consequences of any kind for behaving in such ways, especially ways that are contrary to the natural laws and harmonies of the universe. When such adopt such views it spreads. As it spreads it all will lead to complete chaos causing needless suffering and destruction of a culture and a civilization will collapse.
This is all based in the realization of the reciprocity of everything and to avoid such complete collapse a civilization must implement some sort of system of reward, mercy and punishment that fits the crimes and without excessive and unnecessary laws or policies, while also not trespassing on the basic and fundamental natural rights of autonomous and self determination of every individual mutually and equally. One can equate it to concepts such as you get what you give, and while valid and part of it, its not the only part of it.
Wihas: It is regarded as the very principle by which one realizes and acknowledges that regardless of our surface appearances, individuality, diversities and perceptions or opinions, we are all already one in essence, we are all in essence equals, none are truly superior or inferior to one another, the life essence within oneself is the same life essence in another, that life is precious and worthy of preservation and expansion, and that the conclusion about why anything and everything exists for better or worse is simply enough that they can, do, and have a right to.
All of this is regardless of individually or collectively and regardless if it is appreciated or not. It is not, however, a delusional view, for it also informs one that one must live in harmony with the diverse kinds and expressions of life, and part of life includes the necessity and reality of decay, death, renewal, struggle, and hardship as a necessity for the endurance of life as a whole. If it has no struggles or challenges, it becomes too weak to thrive.
If it becomes too weak to thrive it struggles to survive, and if in its weakness it does adapt and find a way to become stronger it will inevitably become extinct as a death it will not comeback from. And since life and nature abhors a vacuum, something else must change and adapt and must become the replacement for the resulting loss. This is the way of life itself. But it also holds in it a basic concept we have in our own expression which is "Once born; always to be."
Weekly Moments of Contemplation
traditions it that every Monday, usually for a minimal of an hour, one takes time to contemplate one of the three principles and consider how they perceive its presence or expressions within themselves, their lives, and the world around them and how they might further express such things through the manner in which they behave or context themselves throughout their lives. This usually occurs in the evening before one is ready to retire for the evening.
For many who contemplate these things together, their first senses tend to cause them various sensations, and too much contemplation causes some to develop extreme anxiety. Some feel nothing at all the first few times but eventually do develop some sense of the value of these principles and realize that one cannot indeed remove even one of them or focus only on one or two but need all three present and accounted for.
Be wary of pointless Controversies
There will always be the more foolishly minded who will object to such things, not because such as has been demonstrated is remotely untrue as much as it’s “not what they were told or taught.” In other words, their complaints and created “controversies” are not based in actual research but based in blind assumptions passed off as facts when they are not factual.
For example, let us look at the most simple ones related specifically to the gender factors of these and other words that many tend to get bent out of shape over and throw temper tantrums when such things are factually presented and demonstrated.
-
Worloga is linguistically a masculine word.
-
Wyrda is linguistically a feminine word.
-
Wihas is linguistically more of a neutral word.
It is indeed that simple just from the factor of how words have genders and generic non-gendered specific context. The ignorant and nonsensical will object and claim all sorts of silly nonsense or excuses trying and twisted and distort such matters to cater more to their own various and childish senses of perpetual persecuted paranoid victim-hood complexes and then flip on the same and use such as an excuse to bully or attempt to bully others to agree with their imposed rejections regardless if such things are objectively impersonal and true rather than derived from subjective presumptions and irrelevant opinions derived from said ignorance.
The fact is such things are nothing more than imposed distractions to seek to make more people dumber by demanding we disregard facts and impose abnormal, often irrational, entirely ungrammatical, and absolutely politically motivated nonsense that blatantly dishonest, perverse and intended to cause needless harm through an imposed perverse culture of hypocrisies and deceit and it’s all a lot more than some mere convention to “adapt” language in our present time or more than simply a realignment of common usage and modernization at work. As such we must reject these things at every turn and every point it rears its twisted and ugly head.
In many cases common sense is intentionally thrown out to make it less common, and actual correct grammar is venomously despised. Employees are told these nonsensical and abnormal, irrational and blatantly wrong or made up incoherent words are “suggested” uses, but have the weight of a policy directive and: failure to comply at the very least will result in termination of employment, and then to add insult to injury are threatened with “legal action and financial penalties” on top of job loss to impose these delusions. It’s called forced conformity and it is very much a brainwashing tactic of mind and behavioral control in slavish submission to a blatantly Marxist socialist communist fascism.
This goes against the very meaning of the word Druwayu which means True Ways, and such True Ways means to be honest about anything and everything, just as much as it requires one to be completely honest with themselves and other in both public and private matters, but not to the point of sacrificing one’s privacy which is rooted in one’s natural right and from to autonomous self determination, speech and expression. Things like Marxism are completely incompatible with Druwayu and the concepts of the Drikeyu.
What one should ask themselves is why is so many things such as these overly focused or completely disregards the masculine forms of words and concepts entirely? The reason is extremist feminist sexism. Its been around since the 1800s and spawns out from occultism and is heavily involved with more or less hijacking anything and everything with the intentions to purge the masculine out of the context and over impose abnormal feminist androgyny upon everything and everyone.
It claims to be driven by a demand for equality. If that were true, and it isn't, it would be called as the proper word is, egalitarian. Instead it is anti-male misandrist toxic femininity and far removed from what previous equal rights movements were about and instead hijacks these things and uses it as a background to perpetuate its sexist extremist insanity and abnormalities and does not actually care about "all women's" well being. Its a blatant lie.
Not to be linked to the Awen Fiction
There have been some to try and like the concepts of Awen to the Drikeyu. Furthermore, what Awen is claimed to mean and come from is actually false. While it is true the spelling and pronunciation as ah-wen, and is indeed Welsh in origin, the word is actually derived ultimately from Greek by way of Old Latin and imported.
-
The Greek form is αἰών (aion) that became Latin αἰϝών (ai-uon) that turned to Old Welsh ag-uen pronounced as ah-wen which as with other examples, the "g" is often silent, and it is replaced by an "h" or its added together as "gh" to carry the silent sound over depending on the words in question, then became simplified in by modern Welsh as Awen.
-
It split off into such as Old English as Eon and Age, but it should also be noted that aion is used in the sense and meaning of “life” or “life span” so was sometimes replaced by the Latin word for this is vita, also spelled vitae meaning “life” as previously expressed which has in both cases also had figurative expressions for “knowledge acquired through life experiences.” So when one says “I know by my awen" it means knowledge by one's age as in life experiences. That is all.
One of the first references to it as a concept is Nennius's Historia Brittonum, a Latin text of 796 CE based in part on earlier writings of a Welsh monk, Gildas demonstrates the source was in fact from Latin aiuom pronounced ae-won lending to the spelling awen pronounced ah-wen, and another more obscure reference to what is likely about the triple spiral symbols described as having three subdivisions extending from a central point of connection. What it does not mean as claimed by sources perpetuating such nonsense and claiming other things that are simply not factual, the following is in fact debunked.
-
It is Not Welsh for poetic inspiration, flowing essence, spiritual illumination, creativity, truth, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, nor a ‘Great Spirit’ being,
-
It is not a word for A Divine and Holy Spirit type of anything and it is not a separate ‘entity’ unto itself.
-
It was not and is not represented by “three rays” as has often been claimed as that was based on pure assumption in relation to the triple spiral symbols as was invented in the 1700s and remade later still with an added three dots.
-
It is not a word for "poetic frenzy, madness or a fire in the head.”
One of the most mistranslated examples of fiction from the History of Britain text previously stated is Tunc talhaern tat aguen in poemate claret' said to be: "Talhaern the father of the muse was then renowned in poetry." Its actually 'Thence Tall-horn that aged in poetry clear" is in fact an incomplete sentence failing to recognize the Latin basis resulting in an incoherent mess and far too many liberties. In other words its an incomplete sentence pawned off as meaning something it doesn't as occurs often in these kinds of things unfortunately.
Thoughts on Drikeyu
Worloga, Wyrda, and Wihas, now that one knows what they are and what they mean, as the Drikeyu by which all things are imminently and transcendentally bound, bestows upon you the realization that though they are separate and distinct they are eternally interdependent upon one another, and on some level when you contemplate one it inevitably will reveal and express the necessity and presence of the other two.
What has been shown in a variety of ways, of which even more can be realized eventually, it becomes all the more clear that all things are entirely dependent upon all three of these principles even if we are not always consciously aware of it. In this sense they predate all things, including the concepts of the universe itself and all within and beyond it.
-
If you remove the Wihas there is no essence of anything and there can be nothing.
-
If you remove the Wyrda nothing can be brought into being and the Wahas remains unexpressed and does nothing.
-
If you removed the Worloga there is no guidance for the Wyrda and the Wyrda does nothing having no direction or guidance.
When one contemplates these things properly they come to another set of realizations on their own; some sooner than others. And from such contemplation and realizations they may have a certain spiritual experience of sorts as they become more aware of such matters on a much more personal level.
-
If one contemplates the nature of the Wihas it brings one to the realization of the Wyrda as that shaping, creative principle.
-
If one contemplates the Wyrda it brings one to the realization of the Worloga as the instructing, pattern providing, designing principle.
-
If one contemplates one, it always brings them to the realization and contemplation of the other two as an inevitable eventuality.
One can suppress information such as this, yet eventually someone will realize them again regardless what they come to call them in any language. In this one can realize seven things that are certainly significant and important to comprehend/understand.
-
The Worloga requires the Wyrda to express it through the forms of the Wihas.
-
The Wyrda requires the Worloga for instructions to shape the forms of the Wihas.
-
The Wihas does nothing on its own and remains inactive without the Wyrda to shape it and the Worloga to define the patterns for its forms.
-
The Wihas empowers the Worloga to manifest and be expressed by the Wyrda, and empowers the Wyrda to express the Worloga in its forms.
-
Remove the Worloga and there is no direction for the Wyrda to shape the Wihas.
-
Remove the Wyrda and there is no shaping of the Wihas or expressing the Worloga.
-
Remove the Wihas and there is nothing to empower the Worloga to be expressed through
Do not try and force it. If you find you are losing yourself to this contemplation, it is a proper moment to stop, take time to breathe, drink some water, and relax and do something else to take the mind off of such focus. This is to avoid overwhelming and confuse oneself on one hand, and to not over think such things on another. It never needs to be forced and letting your mind wander a bit is perfectly fine. Just remember the experience is yours and the only wrong way is not contemplating such at all.
That is in itself the nature of such transcendent and yet imminent things regardless if we are always aware of or mindful of such or not. How one relates or does not relate to such things or how it impacts or does not impact them overall is an entirely personal perspective as well as experience no other can impose, much less dictate. One should always take the time to meditate on at least one of these in a private location to allow for quiet contemplation, and perhaps even take personal notes. How long is up to the individual and how much time they have or are able to apply to such things.
It is clear or it at least will become clear that other concept that have often been associated with one of the Drikeyu at one point or another, especially when it comes to the concept of the Wyrda, is erroneous or at least inaccurate in many diverse ways such as fate, destiny and karma. We can and do learn from our contemplation of the Drikeyu important lessons that also help us make sense of our state and condition of being and can bring a sense of profound peace if we allow it.
-
There are and will always be events that occur and develop that are simply beyond a person's control, such as nature itself that opponents as it does regardless of us or any other creature, while also being affected by us collectively to some degree.
-
There are and have always been predetermine conditions and causes that result in their own general and usually predictable outcome, even if the outcome is not readily realizable for a time but as things shape other things, other things shape more.
-
This does not mean one does not have personal free will even if it is limited by the free will of others and the preexisting conditions that have brought about present conditions in life affecting everything and everyone. It just mean there are limitations and those limitations are themselves based in necessity.
-
While some have a tendency to make the same choices as normal patterns of behavior and preferences at one point does not mean one lacks the ability to change those patterns of behavior and adapt their preferences to different situations they will subsequently find themselves in, for better or worse.
Simply put, fate and free will both exist and part of the dynamics of the life of the individual and culture overall is learning to function and act in harmony between these two aspects of our existence and life itself because fate is an impersonal concept and will is a personal expression. Most tend to also get the qualities and features of Worloga and Wyrda confused with one another, often placing their concepts in reverse which is a result of a lack of knowledge of the actual meaning of the words themselves and a complete disconnect with the concepts. That alone makes it all the more important to correct such errors.
-
Worloga is indeed that which is unyielding and allows for no change as it establishes all laws, all rules, and all concepts including the very sense of various and diverse kinds of mathematics. In itself we cannot influence or change it individually or collectively. It does not change over time. It has existed before the universe, exists now with the universe, and will exist long after the universe fades.
-
Wyrda is eternal but also flexible and is expressed must clearly through all the relationship between actions and outcomes. The outcomes of the past inform our present reality and are the driving force of adaption and evolution. Present reality informs our present actions and our conditions. Present reality informs our future actions and outcomes future outcomes are open to endless possibilities. The error is to assume the future that is indeterminate cycles back to the past. Though it is indeed linear in motion and the cycles of things, it also isn’t isolated because all things within the Wyrda have influence and impact upon all other things in abidance with the Worloga which itself is unmoved and unchanged. All of this weaves our current forms and states.
-
Wihas is simply that essence, that one thing that we find ourselves and all other things truly one within both here and in the hereafter and precisely why and how in time re rejoin the very fabric of reality regardless if we sense its rise and fall, flow and ebb.
-
Through our contemplation and our learning that comes from the contemplation of the Drikeyu we can develop a diverse range of means and tools to help use, guide us and empower us to harness the Wihas itself in realization of how the Drikeyu are expressed even us as individual beings and collective beings within a culture.
In addition to the many diverse benefits of contemplating the Drikeyu, one will come to learn the Drikeyu can inform us of three pillars that can truly support our overall culture, especially when we start having a sense of loosing something important along the way. These are as simple as they can possibly be without losing relevance or context:
-
Information to support, reinforce and grow our tradition.
-
Living the tradition by how we reflect nod express it daily in our lives and relationships.
-
Realizing there truly is no greater authority than the One and Three and no greater teacher than the Drikeyu that they have written and woven into the fabric of all existence.
These then bring us to the realization of the three Foundations upon which these pillars are also built as extensions of the Drikeyu which are seldom realized or fully appreciated, but of vital importance. These are Trustworthiness, Helpfulness, and Selflessness. Some equate it with the concepts often defined as Faith, Hope and Love which is a reasonable and valid comparison.
The Drikeyu guides is to respect Other Regions
It does not matter if others from other religions respect us or not. As a simple rule of thumb, we do not proclaim all people of any particular identity as all bad either like far too many do. Our goal is mutual respect and peaceful coexistence as much as possible. Those who do not want to respect that are the ones alone who are not tolerated or respected. It must be understood also that religion can also simply be more philosophic in quality without any particular theistic perspective. It can also be a perspective that many adhere to with many of the features of religious expression but without ritual other than in the context of contemplation.
In general, one should consider the differences between the ways other religions, are at least intended, to perceive the world and the meaning of the life of an adherent or believer if one prefers. This is a simple factor that has been presented many times before by many diverse sources despite the various controversies or more petty disputes and debates about such things. For the most part they have been isolated to these specifics and by comparison, Druwayu is added in this list to clarify its difference which can also be missed.
-
Islam: The Way of Submission.
-
Christianity: The Way of Salvation.
-
Confucianism: The Way of Propriety.
-
Hinduism: The Way of Devotion.
-
Buddhism: The Way of Awareness.
-
Yoruba: The Way of Connection.
-
Judaism: The Way of Exile and Return.
-
Daoism: The Way of Flourishing.
-
Paganism: The Way of Anything Goes and Do What You Want.
-
Atheism: They Way of Thinking about Things without a deity involved.
Druwayu: The Way of Impersonal Truth and Living Freely but Responsibly while embracing Logic, Humor and Absurdity as part of the nature of our very existence for better or worse.
So, we can respect the differences without trying to foolishly reconcile what is irreconcilable, and find instead our mutual and common ground and mutual freedom to explore what we will and disregard what we wont and do not want to explore. That is the right of everyone and that is its own point. That is also the whole point ultimately of seeking Impersonal Truth regardless where it leads you, even if the end results are upsetting to say the least, learn to get over it and accept things as they are and not what you want to pretend they are, and living your life autonomously in accordance with your own self determination, but also being mindful all things have their consequences which is the part of inescapable responsibility. You can deny responsibility but it won’t change because of your denial. That is Druwayu, that is the True Way of things.
In addition to all this, Druwayu also embraces many mutually supportive and complimentary things that seem at first to be in conflict only because of what we all have had at one point or another over the course of our lives had drilled into our minds from too many sources to count much less to remember. Yet, once you choose to truly dig and research and not just study and take whatever for granted or at face value, you come to learn more. The true test of your personal merit and courage as well is to truly be willing to not “renounce what is factual” because of seemingly overwhelming pressuring by others.” But that is an effort that is ultimately up to you and also cannot be forced no matter who will claim otherwise.
In Proper Perspective
Properly it is more of a factor of relations with those who have embraced or been raised with other religious or spiritual beliefs or abandoned them. The simple rule of thumb is we do not impose Druwayu on others so we will not allow others to be imposed upon us. The only way peaceful coexistence can be retained is to stop attacking those of different beliefs or identities and not make such claims that the activities of a few apply to the whole identity itself. Such sweeping claims are false, unjust and inhumane.
Simple facts of history
-
We strive for maintaining peaceful coexistence with the various and diverse religions and non-religious the world over and do not just the individual by what they were raised with or have chosen to embrace.
-
We only judge and relate to others based on themselves as individuals and by the measure of how we measure ourselves, which again is centered on the oneness of work and word being one which then informs us of another's warding off their worth.
-
This is in fact a known ancient concept and why the sources Druwayu have drawn from have been known to have peacefully coexisted with others who chose to embrace different identities even as members within the same household of such as polytheists and monotheists.
-
Archeological evidence and known documentation that did not come from sources seeking to force such matters upon others attest to this as a reality for over half a millennia. Druwayu simply holds to the same standard.
Generally Speaking
-
Most individual Druans do not try to and often discouraged from trying to "explain Druwayu" to others. This is so they neither waste their own time nor do not engage in needless conflicts and petty arguments.
-
Its why most Druans tend to simply respond to the question "what do you believe" with "it's not as important as 'what I say and do." Otherwise a Druan will simply say if anything at all that they are an adherent of Druwayu and leave it at that. It’s left to clergy to go into all that.
-
Druans recognized as clergy who must have a better understanding of it then the rest as its part of the "job description" so to speak, who must be the custodians of Druwayu and the overall culture, and as the member Warlocks and Witches of the Drusidu that must serve as that necessary central authority from which adherents can draw mutual strength from and have a true shared identity.
-
Druans are not discouraged either for participating in various established holidays of the greater surrounding culture either wherein if someone says something like Merry Christmas, Happy Yuletide, or happy Hanukkah we have no problem with saying it back as a gesture of peace and compassion. Its really that simple.
What we do not support or Advocate
-
Parody movements seeking to intentional misrepresent and push anti-religious and anti-spiritual rhetoric or taking on the façade of "spooky and evil imagery" while claiming to not really be such things and just take on the imagery to harass and mock others religions.
-
Any movements that demand for the destruction of all other religions and imposing itself over others as the only thing acceptable or using government as a tool for imposing such dictatorship.
-
Simply put we do not advocate or support any extremist movements, identities or organizations as they all are about imposing themselves over others while pretending to be about equality and liberty.
Remember This
Just remember is Druwayu only. Regardless what culture or theology or pantheon or any other such concept one can name, there is no singular all encompassing unanimously accepted theology or pantheon in any of culture, regardless if they are presented as either some form of polytheism or monotheism. Those who have sought to impose and exclusive or inclusive system do so pointlessly and would have to, at the very least remake everything from scratch, strive for consistency throughout, and then would have to proclaim and prove in some way or manner the authenticity of such things. Even in that, no one can or will create such a thing that “everyone” will embrace entirely. It is simply not the reality or nature of existence or the human character.
Nor can one so blindly sweep it all away and deny everything and anything and then likewise claim all people will be somehow “happier” and “better off” without any such concepts, ideas or beliefs. The same inevitably create their own concepts that likewise hold all the same basic trappings of the very same things they demand are rejected, suppressed and erased because such are just as guilty, if not more so, of imposing their own views and wills on everyone else, and in so doing becoming just as much a petty tyrant as any other. It is better, however, to believe in little than to believe in nothing or to accept too much. It is reasonable to have a somewhat open mind but with a facts filter, than leave one’s mind open so much that it falls out and one looses their mind and any sense or grasp of reality. That is because, contrary to what most tend to recognize, it is far easier to convince others to indoctrinate and brainwash themselves than for others to forcefully indoctrinate and brainwash them.
One should also be wary of those to will claim their “religions” are nature based while likewise imposing all sorts of “unnatural” claims and fabricated inventions they defraud others by claiming it’s somehow much older than it actually is and the myriads of other falsehoods proclaimed by far too many. Proofs do not always need or are required to be somehow extraordinary, any more than various claims need extraordinary proofs or refutes. Evidence, facts, and consistency therein are more than enough “proofs” but one should also be very clear that even false or fictional things can be “proven” to be true though they are factually false. In other words, anything can be proven, but it does not make such necessary real in and of themselves beyond concepts formulated in the mind.
It is not all that unlike the concept of the advice one should strive to abide by the laws of the land to the best of their ability, yet fails to consider not all those laws are based in anything factual or logical and naturally unjustifiable, especially in such situations where policies supersede laws when laws should supersede policies, and many laws are often imposed without the consent of the majority vote and will of the people, but rather imposed by the directive of self imposing leaders and rulers or bought off ones by owners and controllers of various industries with very little to no concern for the majority of the human population other than as a financial resource who were never selected and voted in or out of their positions by the majority. Also, it matters not if one thinks a leader is good or bad, for if one questions neither, one is a slave to both.
YOU DON'T NEED SUPPORT TO BE A DRUAN
Anything we could ever learn, hope to learn or know is literally loaded in libraries everywhere. You can educate yourself better and at your own pace without submitting to the limitations and demands of any organization, club, institution, or otherwise and can in fact partner up with like mined individuals to help mutually learn and educate yourselves in anything and everything you can or want to lay your hands upon. You just have to have the will and self motivation to do so and not be at the mercy of those who keep seeking to take more and more access away, privatizing move on one hand and restricting access as a public institution one must pay access for, when all knowledge should be free.
Plenty of old books are still able to be accessed and some out of print ones can still be secured as reprinted copies if you search enough to find such services that do so that are not that expensive. Of course the rarer the books the harder it will be to access those as they tend to be in various archives and museums, though much of the information those are based on is information you can still find elsewhere. And the more you and a friend or set of friends do such things. You can teach yourself how to read, or at least learn more words you have not read before, and get help with proper use and grammar. You can advance your math skills on your own or with help. You can learn actual finance through trial and error or comparing notes with others and mutually benefit one another as a result. The limitations are based on you and your efforts. Limitations have work around options. The effort is up to you and your personal dedication. A lot of that has to do with changing your mindset.
In addition, one simply has to recognize in themselves the reality that they know a little bit about a lot of things, and a whole lot of nothing. In addition, a lot of people are conditioned to simply read, accept, remember and repeat exactly without question and are discouraged from questioning anything which later in life makes them more hostile to correction even when it is clear what they have been told is proven wrong by someone who managed to break from the imposed “study loop” and did some research outside of those confines. Combined with “positive reinforcement that because they stayed in such a loop and praised as intelligent, smart, and good, they are in fact far less likely to challenge anything difficult because they have been conditioned to assume to be wrong means bad, and to be bad means stupid, and to be stupid is failure, and failure makes them useless and worthless.
It is a slave mentality. It’s done on purpose to impose excessive conformity. It becomes also useful when the same pulling the conformist strings removes all the restrictions as an “anything goes” extreme to the opposite spectrum because that is also not challenging anything, it conforming again to instability and designed to intentionally cause a targeted population to tear itself apart and destroy itself. The reason also is because by being driven by such complete abdomen of control of self and emotions and letting only rage unload without any sense of filters or barriers, independent thought is still being suppressed and oppressed and when someone realizes that after lashing out the turn it against themselves failing to see that was the point.
That is why you and others must self educate and challenge everything for you and others sake.
BENEFITS OF DRUWAYU
One of the main things we do not force or promote is 'blind belief.' For example, you can be an atheist and accept the concepts of the Drikeyu without believing in the One and Three as actual entities. Your belief should only be based in the simple factor that something about it holds some sort of logical and reasonable conclusions such as belief based on what is observed and known instead of in place as a patch for what is unobserved or unknown. Also as made clear:
-
We embrace Logic, Humor and Absurdity.
-
We recognize the need for unity in a divided world.
-
You can legitimately call yourself culturally Druish.
-
Monday Night Pizza is a Holy Observance.
-
Heavy Metal Music and Stripping are Sacred Arts.
-
Robes, Pointy Hates and Pirate Gear are formal wear.
-
Its a real religion with actual teachings to consider.
-
You can express it alone or with friends as you wish to.
-
We avoid getting into that whole heresy and apostasy bit.
We advocate one to follow the facts to their logical, rational, reasonable, consistent and demonstrable conclusion, regardless of personal feelings or opinions than the benefit is an increased sense of self, autonomy and desire to protect, defend and maintain that same freedom of autonomous self determination and right to self existence and freedom as a natural state and right of all individuals without conditions or exceptions, titan one truly is free to actually seek and strive for personal well being and overall happiness. This can be difficult for many who do not actually think as freely as they assume they do and are more easily directed through emotional manipulation and reactionary impulses.
We encourage more to value these basic qualities not just within themselves but recognize these things as essential to all people, regardless of they like it or not and can actual lay the foundations for true peace without force, and freedom that is always fought for and maintained. Such can then comprehend the very reason why freedom should be decentralized, but when it comes to defending that freedom decentralization is not compatible and there must be a clear and organized consistent effort to fight for and maintain such things without fail. That sense of the importance of organization is also vital to truly:
-
Observe and analyzing movements perceived as constituting a threat to public and private freedom and independent and collective well being of all people,
-
Networking together in formulating strategies in coordinating the appropriate response such localized or global threats to said freedoms,
-
Properly standing up against such movements seeking to block and prevent such efforts to inform the public about potential and known actual risks to their individual and collective freedoms and well being,
-
And establish a solid and reliable mutually involved and supportive network read and able to helps victims of trespasses against their freedoms and persons to receive aid and restitution and to hold such predators (male or female) equally and fully accountable for their actions and activities and any identity or organization protecting such predators from prosecution and punishment.
The reality is again that those who push for and demand for censorship to be allowed “selectively” are blind that they are actually creating more means to protect such predators and predatory activities against them by approving for the censorship of them from speaking up, out and against these predators that have been victimizing others constantly and continue to do so and suppress anything that shines a light on how such predators operate behind the scenes pulling various strings.
It also helps such predators, especially those who ultimately target children directly or indirectly use such censorship and “confidentiality clauses” to continue to secure victims for them and to cater to other predators that pay them for such “acquisitions” using public and private agencies, organizations and institutions to more or less launder victims through their own networks. That is why censorship is an enemy to everyone and a shield for the truly criminal, deceitful, twisted and perverse. It also becomes clear that deceivers hate honesty.
YOU DO NOT NEED OTHERS VALIDATION
It is often claimed that we need some sort of external validation for our mental well-being. That is simply not true. We need to some degree acknowledgement from others such as when it demonstrates appreciation for the efforts we put into various things, but to the point of constantly having to be praised indefinitely for anything. Validation in itself simply means “being strong,” though in social and relational context it is applied to confirming something as true or correct. So in that, those demanding validation as an expectation are demanding we pretend anything they say, write, record and proclaim is true, correct and incontestable even when it isn’t. With this proper meaning in place:
-
I do not need others to proclaim my accuracy in anything when I have provided proof already.
-
If I am wrong, prove I am wrong and I will accept I am wrong if it’s true.
-
If I make a mistake, I made mistake and if I correct the mistake you need to get over it.
-
I can appreciate acknowledgment for my work or achievements.
-
I do not require or demand being appreciated for anything.
-
I don’t have to make extra efforts in anything and demanding I must is unacceptable.
-
Saying you appreciate something without actually demonstrating it is empty words.
-
My view or opinion of self is not contingent upon the views or opinions of others.
Validation has nothing to do with acknowledgement of one’s so called ‘positive’ or even ‘negative’ attributes, strengths, achievements, and emotions. Acknowledging them or not cannot be forced, demanded or expected of anyone and those who do only set themselves up for needless mental and emotional distress which is frankly childish and where temper tantrums are spawned out of. Yes, we do need some sense of support and encouragement of family and friends as long as such is authentic and not simply for try and “make us feel better” about ourselves, or cheapened by those who offer such “support and encouragement” to stroke their own egos and form an excuse to pat themselves upon their own back. It’s just as nonsensical as such things as “it’s the thought, rather than the action” that counts which is in itself nothing more than the same kind of complete bullshit.
Another example of what amounts to psychobabble is that “When a child grows up not feeling valued or receiving praise or encouragement, they may have trouble regulating their emotions.” No, because when one grows up they are not a child anymore but an adult, and if, as an adult, they haven’t developed or learned to control themselves emotionally, it’s an immaturity issue of the individual and frankly they deserve what they are going to get which is hostility to their childish behavior and failure to adapt and grow up mentally and emotionally.
Plenty of children who are always “praised and encouraged” instead grow up to be selfish, spoiled and demanding all focus is centered on them and in place of and at the expense of others. Praise should therefore be based on actual achievement and merit, and should also include reasonable but not abusive criticism, and called out on and face punishments when they are legitimately misbehaving and being inconsiderate of others.
This does not mean you should beat kids into submission either because that does not correct such behavior or aid in proper mental and emotional development, but instead is the other extreme that promotes the development of abusive adults and outright bullies pretending to be ‘victims’ or making excuses for their bullying as “victims.” Indeed abuse is just as bad as unwarranted and excessive praising.
As far as those that make lists such as the following as some sort of justification for “excessive praise” and so called “validation” as a necessity, which it isn’t, instead of acknowledging there are more than likely organic and cognitive disorders behind such things that no amount of praising and ‘validation’ will counter, and will not be the result of actual rather than imagined physical and mental abuse. In any case I will likewise add such a counter statement to these things which cannot be and should not be ignored because some therapist overestimates their own mental and emotional prowess and faculties.
-
Difficulty trusting others: This is more often than not caused I from being lied to, cheated on and abused by others repeatedly. It has nothing to do with ‘praising and validation’ as often ‘praised and given validation are methods used by abusers and groomers to gain trust of such persons and then flipped on them when the opportunity to abuse and exploit them is presented when their guard is down.
-
High levels of anxiety: This can be random with no underlining emotional or mental triggers or roots in ‘depression’ for lack of praise, validation or acknowledgement. In fact it can also be caused instead from distrust of others for the same reasons above, or a lack of or fear of judgment by others instead of learning to not be concerned with such judgments and simply do what you will do, enjoy what you can and not take things personally even if they are directed at one personally.
-
Fear of rejection: Again, a lack of praise and validation and acknowledgment has little to do with a fear of “rejection.” The fear of rejection is a normal, natural tendency of everyone, especially when it comes to seeking a potential sexual partner. The goal is not to praise. It’s not validation. It’s not acknowledgement. Its encouragement to not give up but also not obsess or become obsessed with anyone or anything, or sink into the childishness of misogyny and misandry.
-
Unpredictable or confusing behaviors: The reality is this tends to be based more in factors of organic, physical mental disorders based on problems with brain chemistry or physical defects of birth or age. For example, schizophrenia and dementia to name but two. No amount of “praise” or anything else of that sort is going to matter. What such need is therapy, a psychological examination to determine the specific actual rather than an invented disorder as an excuse for pharmacies to sell crap by medically approved pill pushers, and if necessary when behavioral modification is ineffective to actually seek real and valid medications specific to said disorders. On the same note, one can also develop mental disorders as a result of being prescribed the wrong medications that damage their brain chemically and physically. Otherwise it’s all equated to “Emotional Damage.”
Take into consideration the arbitrary and questionable definition of a so called “borderline personality disorder” (BPD) which is often generalized as a mental health condition where people have a lifelong pattern of seeing themselves and reacting to others in ways that cause problems. So if someone disagrees with someone else and the other takes offense who determines who is the one with the “disorder?” It’s basically the same as saying BPD as its abbreviated, is anything deemed to cause problems with people's personality traits that allows them to flexibly adapt to their changing environment in ways that lead to more healthy relationships with others and better coping strategies. Also, what we eat with all the crap in it can also affect all these things.
Consider this: Who determines an “approved” amount of flexibility? Who determines what is “reasonable adaptation to ganging environments and what do they mean by ‘environments?” What is determined as “more healthy” relationships? Who determines what are the correct or proper coping methods or strategies? The fact is different cultures have different views and perspectives on such matters which makes all these things based on the personal opinion of the specific “psychologist or therapist rather than legitimate mental disorder caused by physical and chemical causes. Just because one person has a harder time to adapt to one thing or another it does not mean they are borderline anything.
It means they are either slower to figure such things out or simply haven’t had enough firsthand experience in developing methods to adapt to whatever or simply had little to no parental guidance to pass on that information from the learned experiences of said parents.This is why family is also important and the proper dynamics maintained because when that basic natural structure falls apart, the whole civilization ceases to be civilized much less sane and soon collapses entirely only to be replaced by something else; hence, history and life. It should then be no surprise those narcissistic traits such as entitlement and requiring validation in adulthood tends to develop due to too much praise and overvaluation in childhood, and even the idiocy of some parents that show favoritism of one child over the others that can then inflate into brutal and even fatal rivalries.
This is one of many reasons why a huge percentage of many so called ‘mental health’ problems has as a result of psychological and pharmaceutical inadequacies, shoddy treatment, academic laziness and all around self serving financial gains at the expense of those being “counseled and prescribed this or that” with little to no proper ethical perspectives is among one of the many significant problems with the medical industries as a whole, especially in the United States of America and elsewhere. In fact, in many ways, legitimate mental disorders are actually promoted as normal and mental stability is treated as social inadequacy and incompetence.
Everything has been more or less reversed and to the detriment and expense of everyone everywhere around the whole world. Even the so called education system is at the center of many of these twisted and perverse constructs promoting narcissism, selfishness, pettiness, abusiveness, perversion and more, and we see it constantly glorified in one form or another throughout so called entertainment venues and of course, the insanity that has taken hold of modern politics and laws of the land of the insane and home of the depraved.
