  • Is this a joke or parody?
    It’s not a joke. Elements of our religion are satire and there are many members who do not literally believe our teachings or concepts, however, any satire and humor is more self directed or applied to old silly stereotypes perpetuated by the paranoid and those with perpetual more persecuted then thou victim complexes. It is our belief that we should include humor as part of our religion because it also keeps us in a sense of "self check" from being extremists about anything in regards to our religion, while also using at a means to criticize those who claim to be Druans and misrepresent Druwayu as more or less pretenders for the controlled opposition as it were.
  • Is this legal and real religion?
    Yes. As the US Constitution expressly states: In Cantwell v Connecticut, 310 U.S. 296 (1940) the Court ruled...​ We hold that the statute, as construed and applied to the appellants, deprives them of their liberty without due process of law in contravention of the Fourteenth Amendment. The fundamental concept of liberty embodied in that Amendment embraces the liberties guaranteed by the First Amendment. The First Amendment declares that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The Fourteenth Amendment has rendered the legislatures of the states as incompetent as Congress to enact such laws. ​ This means that no state of the United States can adopt or impose a state religion or exclude the establishment of any other religions than one deemed preferential over any others, nor allowed to prevent or circumvent the freedom of individuals or groups to establish a religion of their own; old or new as it would also be a violation of said Constitution. Furthermore it also protects the rights of religious organizations to express themselves openly and freely and their own sovereign entities but also includes such factors as freedom of speech, press and so forth as follows: ​There are absolutely no requirements to start a new religion in the US at all. You should not and do not even need to register with the IRS to be deemed legitimate. All attempts to force religions to register have been ruled violations of the First Amendment of Constitution. You do not need “a history, a minister, a place to worship and a time to worship” because worship is not a requirement of religion. No robes required, no church, no creed, and no congregants. Need vs. have are different things. ​ FOR MORE INFORMATION CHECK THESE LINKS ​​ ACLU: RELIGIOUS FREEDOM (OREGON) TAX GUIDE/IRS: The specific Tax Laws or exemptions IRS QUALIFIERS: Chruch or other Religious organization
  • Is this a stunt/hoax/etc?
    This has predominately been answered in questions 1 and 2. to further clarify, some will have pre-concluded in their own minds that with or without mainstream media coverage, anything and everything that does not fit in their personal mind bubble is not valid or fake, a publicity stunt or hoax or trolling or a parody or mockery of something else when it isn't. We cannot nor care to try and change the minds of such who have their own predetermined certainties. That said, refer back to questions 1 and 2.
  • Are their required rituals?
    Required would be a bit misleading. Our communion of Monday Night Pizza for example can be considered a ritual observance. However, one is not considered a "bad Druan" if they cannot, for some reason such as dietary restriction based on medical needs that prevents them from eating pizza, even if its "vegan" or whatever. Missing out on it repeatedly does not effect ones beliefs either. If one lives alone and is more of a hermit, there is no need for such an observance. Also, not everyone likes heavy Metal regardless its genre, and not all like the idea of strip teases regardless if the strippers are women or men. that's the whole point in our teachings where one is allowed to express Druwayu as is most comfortable for them if they openly express it at all. Nothing is forced.
  • Convince me why I should join?
    We won't do that. The simple reason is what is often called "convincing" is actually manipulation, and trying to engage someone into arguments they themselves may not be capable of properly expressing the 'logic' being their embraced beliefs which tends to be most people. You can ask things like: What is your most pervasive argument to convince somebody to join your faith? I am an open minded atheist so convincing me your concept of a God is logical? I am Not an avowed atheist, but somebody open to the idea of religion in general, but unsure of the right/true one to follow... If it was so easy to convince you or anyone of anything, be it direct, short and too the point, long winded or citation of texts and all the other common things or resorting to arguments of an implicit claim or suggestion that the suffering prevalent in the world is a penance or a price to be paid to some unstable cosmic despot type figure or alternatively some usual occult drive rhetoric would be doing you no favors. We do not shoehorn elements of other things like that into Druwayu as much of that is simply incompatible and frankly disrespectful to Druwayu and those other identities. All one can do is express independently why Druwayu, at least for the time for them, works for them. That applies to you and your choices about it also.
  • This seems more like some sort of oddball cult!
    Let be the first to say Yes! Druwayu is an oddball cult and I am not just a cult member but the founder. So how's that for some honesty? And yes, it is also a religion or combined, a religious cult. Everyone else will say no when asked this question about their whatever, or say something like No, it's not, no more so than any other religion. So as the founder l say yes. Now, lets cut the crap What is a cult anyways? A cult, when you cut all the usual rhetoric out is simply a group of people that have committed themselves to a specif concept and ideology. It tends to go bad fast when it becomes a "devotion" to a leader or set of leaders type thing. I dont seek that. Its why I didn't name this religion after myself or anyone. Every religion started as a cult and despite some having a hard time comprehending that, it is a fact. The only way to keep the "wacko" bit down to a bare minimal is for everyone to do their best to distance themselves from those screwed up in the head types and call them out before someone else does. We're all responsible for doing out best to keep it from falling into the same mess so many other things have and that means we must work hard to maintain consistency and hold ourselves to a higher standard. We absolutely should keep logic, humor and absurdity within it to keep it interesting and entertaining for everyone within reasons and that means we need to be ready and willing to mock it ourselves from time to time.
  • What is the Druan view of other Deities
    Druwayu does not deny the potential for other diverse kinds of deities either as the whole world has thousands as diverse as the minds who consider them, and they fit all the variations of the concepts of the six types of sexual forms of gender qualities or lack of, some named, some known and others unnamed and unknown. Some are also forgotten and simply can never be known by name or concept even if artifacts indicate something of them and ones yet to be as all are ultimately secular in quality in that they are relative to the age of their existence for however long they exist in the minds and records of human existence.
  • Is God or your concept of God a polygamist?
    Yes. Though the specific term would be Polygynist as in one that practices or advocates polygyny. It means one male with two or more females at the same time. The exact opposite of this is polyandry which means one female with two or more males at the same time. Polygamy is the generic term covering both concepts more or less. Regardless, we do not use God and the Three Goddesses as a justification for determining how individuals come together and the nature of such commitments, yet we do not use it either as claim that such is only for them as Divine Beings either. Simply put, they are them we are what we are and that is not the same.
  • Do you have a belief in being like the Devil in monotheism?
    No, at least not as the "ultimate or sole source" of all things bad and wrong in creation. This does not mean we deny the existence of evil, just as we recognize there is good, and there is indifference and their is capriciousness, and indifference and so on. Again, everything has its consequences as the great regulator of everything here and beyond, sometimes immediately, sometimes not. So for us, the Devil is just a Devil and one among many diverse concepts or entities of that quality or tendency.
  • I see you sometimes use five pointed stars. Isn't that Satanic?
    To the ignorance and uninformed "Everything" including farting in your sleep is "Satanic." Its true that "Satanists" of the so called only theological or philosophical or non-theistic or whatever variety they make up themselves say or do, it not Satanic and this has been hashed out time and again and has been clarified in the Forum for the learning bit. Bottom line is upright or inverted like anything else only means whatever is being applied by whoever but evil in itself, no, its nonsense.
  • Can I join if I don't believe in these or any other deities of any kind?
    Yes. There are many who identify with their specific religious identities who do not literally believe in everything their various religious texts and theologies or philosophies encapsulate. Sometimes they do. Others why believe in the same ones but in different ways. that's true of everyone about any subject. Most tend to be rather agnostic about the whole thing which can be summed up as "I don't know, and that's good enough." So what and how you believe is entirely up to you.
  • If I dont believe in the supernatural can I still join?
    Yes. The idea that religion belongs solely to supernatural concepts alone and lacks any philosophic expression is false and backward thinking. One can believe, for example, in the One and Three from a purely mathematical sense and not see such as supernatural while some think any form of science is supernatural at its core. One's deeper held beliefs are not contingent upon purely supernatural concepts and its also false to assume belief is based on a lack of observation or present understanding of objective existence outside our subjective experience and perceptions of it. Belief that the One and Three express themselves through the dynamics of objective reality is also not necessarily supernatural either. Of course this is its own form of 'Intelligent Design' but the concepts of our own form of Sacred Geometry is its basis and derived fro observations of nature just like any scientific area of exploration and inquiry. It just does not conform to the particularly monotheistic pantheistic concepts often imposed upon the subject matter.
  • What about C.E.N. Creation Ex Nihilo Theory?
    Simply put it is about Spontaneous Self Existence meaning the cause of one's existence is part of oneself, not something prior. It is actually a shared concept and theory of theology and quantum physics. Its an answer to the ‘what was there’ before anything came to existence with the recognition of actual sciences that the concept of infinite regress is simply nonsensical and an avoidance of finding an answer to the question. This PDF explains this in detail. From it's own statement, it holds a philosophical viewpoint that still imagines the universe in terms of a sort of "self programming" and "self excited" machine. It applies the concepts of the ‘code of the Universe’ or the ‘code of nature.’ However, it neglects to recognize this "coding" requires a coder, just as the ancient concept holds laws require a law giver. Even quantum field theory has a problem because the initial state is not property-less, and it requires an explanation of how fluctuations can evolve from ‘nothingness.’ In fact, this and most proposed models either evoke concepts that upon further examination presents an initial state that does not, in fact, represent an absolute, pure, ‘nothing’ and relies on avoidance by presenting the "principle of ignorance" which more or less proposes the position that the source or cause of the singularity is the ultimate unknowable, and therefore should be totally devoid of information. Through our true Sacred Geometry we simply get to the point whereas these areas of inquiry simply seek to fill in the details.
  • To what extent do Druans need evidence to support their beliefs?
    The universe demonstrated intelligence even when most people don't and as Einstein stated, “The most incomprehensible thing about the Universe is that it is comprehensible.” The universe also exhibits clear laws we simply name and give description to, reciprocal dynamics we observe constantly that allows for change and flexibility, and everything is made of the same essence even though that essence in and of itself cannot be directly observed or expressed and instead is only knowable through the forces, substances and particles of nature. That's good enough for most Druans. So basically belief is based on what is known rather than what isn't. The One and Three are not in that sense Deities of the gaps.
  • I don't believe anyone actually believe any of this. Do they?
    You are entitled to your own opinion, however, do not impose it. Yes, our members genuinely believe in Druwayu's teachings. Skepticism is natural, but our community's activities foster commitment and belief driven by honestly and embracing logic, humor and absurdity. Members find meaning, fulfillment, and support within the concepts and foundations of Druwayu, as well as through fellowship, education, and shared experiences. How they choose to express it is subjective.
  • What is Druwayu's view about other religions?
    Druwayu respects all religious beliefs and traditions though we do not respect those that are clearly based on occultism and pretend to be one thing while being something else. Otherwise, we promote mutual respect, understanding, and dialogue among and between diverse faiths without trying to force fit them together, respecting their distinctions as much as their similarities where those similarities actually exist. Otherwise it is our view that they are their own distinct and unique paths specific to those cultures in the times in which they came into existence regardless the particulars of how they came about and that they are as such central to the spiritual growth of those who are adherents of them. We encourage learning from diverse traditions and value mutual respect and cooperation, recognizing every historic religion has its own insights and contributions to humanity and do not impose Druwayu upon or in place of them just as we do not allow others to put themselves in place of or impose themselves upon us or Druwayu. Respect must be mutual and maintained especially against extremists regardless what identities they proclaim themselves to so identify with as many times such extremists do not truly represent the views of the majority of such traditions.
  • What is a Druan?
    Druan is pronounced Droo-an and means True One and is a term for one who has embraced Druwayu as their Druish cultural tradition and identity and religion. The plural is Druans pronounced Droo-ans.
  • What specifically unifies Druans most?
    Our refusal to be forcefully or passively imposed upon by others and holding one another accountable to avoid forcefully or passively imposing oneself upon others. Our recognition we all have different life experiences and not all of us individually have all the answers. No one does. Never trust anyone who claims to. Our general view that every individual possess their own natural sovereignty as in free will to autonomous self determination which also includes freedom of speech and expression publicly, even if such speech and expression is disagreeable to us as groups or individuals. Our appreciation for reasonable authority that can demonstrate reasonable facts and the rejection of tyrannical authority that demands devotion without question. There is a difference even if most do not comprehend this distinction. Our basic recognition of the freedom and dignity of all human life including the means and rights to defend and protect oneself by whatever means deemed necessary for a given situation and for their particular survival. That regardless if good or bad or perceived as good or bad, everything has a consequence, even on a subtle level as part of the inevitability of the reciprocal nature of all things seen and unseen, here and beyond.
  • Isn't referring to Druans as being Druish mockery of Jews?
    No, not really. Only some ignorant buffoon will make such a claim. So with that being said, lets get into the facts so that if anyone else comes along to push some new brand of stupid in the mix, and they will, we can not the history very clearly. A: Several words in European root words and with "-ish" such as: Ir-ish, Scott-ish, Swed-ish, Span-ish, Turk-ish, Finn-ish, Engl-ish, Pol-ish, Dan-ish and so forth. The spelling Jew-ish didn't even come about till after the 15th century CE. B: The first time the word Dru-ish was ever used "officially" was coined in the 1987 parody of Starwars and other sic-fi movies of the time Spaceballs film co-written, produced and directed by Mel Brooks. Rent and watch it sometime. First, it was a reference to people on an alien Planet called Druidia (home of Druids). Second, it was used in a line by the character called a Mog (man-dog) named Barf played by John Candy. The line was, "funny, she doesn't look Druish?" A pun in itself with its own history about someone not looking Jewish. It should be noted that the majority of the cast were Jews. C: Since there have been many who call themselves Druids in the real world such as it is or as they are, no one was offended by either contexts especially since most who are called Druids as a title refer to it as Druidic and the religion as Druidry. Since no one else uses the word, I personally chose to refer to the culture as Druish for Druans as the people of the religious "cult" of Druwayu as itself a reasonable enough expression based on the first part of the -ish added to so many diverse European names and terms. As I stated before, I dont hide anything.
  • What's the difference between Druwayu, Wicca, Paganism, Heathenry, Druidry, etc.?
    At this point if one has to ask that seriously they haven't been reading or learning. There are MANY differences. Lets just simplify them here and the rest you need to read and learn. No short cuts on that one. Wicca pronounced as wick-ah is pronounced wrong and doesn't mean all the crap claimed about it. Pagan and Heathen as an identifier is considered an insult. There are just too many things to go over why Druwayu its not the same or a branch from Druidry. Its not Mysticism because the basis of the word Mystic means to keep silent so its not compatible. We talk about Druwayu if you ask. Occult means hidden from the eyes. Again we are not hiding anything so its not compatible with that and frankly a lot of what is part of mysticism and occultism. This is clarified in the About page.
  • What's the origin of the word Warlock?
    It is from Warlog pronounced Ware-low. Its from Old Saxon and meant Lawman as used as a reference to Pharisees in the Heliand composed around 830 CE. It is from the root word Heli (Holy and akin to Heal) + and (one) in Old Saxon but does not mean Save or Savior as often claimed. Its plural form was Warlogan.
  • What does the term 'Hallowed Warlock' signify within Druwayu?
    In Druwayu, the term 'Hallowed Warlock' signifies a consecrated and honored male clergy member, akin to an ordained minister, priestess, or elder in other traditions.
  • What is the origin of the word Witch?
    It is from Wicc pronounced Wech. Its from Old Saxon and meant Speak as in Talk, Tell and even Call. It was used in the sense of female oracles as oracle also has the same base meaning and is from the Domboc, and Anglo Saxon legal code composed around 893 CE. Dom is pronounced Doom and meant judgement. Its plural form was Wiccan.
  • What does the term 'Hallowed Witch' signify within Druwayu?
    In Druwayu, the term 'Hallowed Witch' signifies a consecrated and honored female clergy member, akin to an ordained minister, priest, or elder in other traditions.
  • How do I know if someone is a Warlock or Witch?
    Forget all the usually mumbo jumbo both from those that lay off old medieval style nonsense and still perpetuate modern paranoia. There is no "special marks, signs, signals" or whatever that "qualifies anyone as anything" regardless what title or descriptor someone else applies. Any of those "how to know if your a ( whatever )" is all nonsense as you can literally at any claimed identity and not be anything but a children playing pretending games or some goof ball talking about "sexual empowerment" garbage. While some organized spiritual groups may have initiation rites, or hold the opinion that all that you need to become a Warlock or Witch is yourself, or play the nonsense of "you know when you know" is smoke out the backside. A lot of what is claimed to be Warlockery and Witchery is also in reality just nonsense based on occultism and folk charm type practices. Just because your great grand daddy or great grand mommy may have been or identified as such or was accused of being such is not proof they were or you are which is usually that hereditary bunk. If you do have certain, shall we say, spiritual gifts, that doesn't make you a Warlock or Witch either. Its just an ability, but even what is often claimed to be spiritual gifts is more fantasy than reality. The bottom line is Warlock or Witch is frankly just a job description or career choice for a more modern clarification than anything else, and the first step to becoming an authentic one is to forget the majority of what you have been conditioned to assume or think one is regardless the sources.
  • Are there both good and bad Warlocks and Witches?
    There are good and bad anything and everything so its not peculiar to particular one way or the other for those with such titles as Warlock, Witch or anything else you can come up with. Some will claim All this or that are bad, however, such sweeping statements are more or less false and based on all sorts of false and old misrepresentations and one sided slants on things. It isn't anything we need to be all that worried about as long as we properly do and remain diligent in educating the general public of those facts and not play into all the extra silliness that is perpetuated.
  • What should I expect if I embrace the Warlock or Witch Titles at Druwayu?
    Embracing the Warlock or Witch Titles in Druwayu signifies a deep commitment to our tradition, culture, teachings and practices. How those outside of Druwayu perceive or proclaim such things is irrelevant. As we have no control over them they have none over us either. That being said: As a Warlock or Witch, you will be able to determine what routines are best for you to enhance your sense of connection with the divine and the natural world, as well as those around you. This role involves a dedication to ongoing personal and independent as well as shared learning and personal development, often including participation in exclusive online activities, helping or suggesting educational materials, and participation in community events. You will be a leader within our community, responsible for guiding others in their spiritual journeys and upholding the values and teachings of Druwayu. We also expect our clergy to also have a sense of humor and embrace a certain amount of absurdity as part of the fun of living a well rounded life as much as embracing the more serious, logical and academic qualities. As long as one truly develops a sense of compassion, personal growth, spiritual enlightenment, and a profound sense of belonging within the Druwayu congregation as a a general member of our community, than you truly get the purpose of Druwayu overall.
  • Can Warlocks and Witches shapeshift?
    About as much as anyone else, though what people think shape shifts are and how it occurs is largely distorted. Ultimately it is all based on the concept of out of body expediences where on uses such tools as various parts of animals or whatever, as a way to connect to the species specifically in order to literally jump out of one's own body and temporarily possess the body of the animals in question. So one's own actual human body never actually "changed forms" as various shows and what not present but there was also a well known factor that when swapping one's own body for that of another creature, it could also allow the other creature's body to enter your own so measures were taken to assure that would not occur. Also behind this concept was that if one is injured or dies while in possession of the animal body, the injury can manifest in their true body and as such both the "shape shift" and the animal will parish. Don't try it at home.
  • How do I become ordained and what can I do?
    At this time we do not have the means to provide all the necessary credentials. We would like to be able to provide such when the means become available to do so. However, We will need more active participation for that. All the same, as far as the legalities, according to the US Supreme Court: BECOMING ORDAINED ​ In defining who qualifies as a minister/clergy, the United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled in January 2012, "It is impermissible for the government to contradict a church's determination of who can act as its minister." The court was also careful to state that just because a church ordains you, does not mean that the state will automatically recognize it either. So, in defining a minister the court relied upon many facts and circumstances and refused "to adopt a rigid formula for deciding." when a person" . . . "qualifies as a minister." ​ Cramer v. Commonwealth, 202 S.E.2d 911 The court ruled that the "selection or election must be a considered, deliberate, and responsible act." The court looked for a process that was in writing and which required a minister to be someone specially selected through a formal process that scrutinized him/her and granted him/her authority to perform the normal duties of an ordained minister. The court further made a point to clarify that the state couldn't give unconstitutional preference to a more established church/denomination over a newly established small church. As long as the church has created a real process based on the church's rules, clergy order, doctrines, and sincerely held beliefs, the state must recognize it. We call it Hallowing, but will include in the language the words ordained and ordination just as we apply Warlock and Witch as titles of clergy and elders as members of the council we call the Drusidu. So when we are in a better position to do so we can then look into sources for producing credentials and a means to create such as an online ordination option for members worldwide. This also means that within the United States of America the idea that religion and government should be strictly separated and that government should make no law infringing on religious freedoms is central to the First Amendment of the Constitution and its Bill of Rights. Therefore it’s generally not up to the government to say what is or is not a religion and if that religion can decide who is ordained as a minister, warlock, witch or whatever the specific title is in that religion. As such, most states allow those given recognized "ordained" status the authority to preside over weddings, funerals, and baptisms as specific practices of that religion. Some states are sticklers though on who they choose to acknowledge as having legitimate authority and what requirements are necessary, so it is recommended that everyone check with their state's county clerk office first before seeking to officiate anything. Let us know what those expectations are.
  • Can I sell my soul?
    That's really not out thing so you will need to go somewhere else.
  • Do you have orgies?
    What someone does on their own time is their business. Its not part of Druwayu if that is what you are asking. Also remember, every action has consequence and the "kind of orgy" you are likely talking about can send you to an early grave.
  • Is their animal sacrifices?
    No. We so not ritually kill anything or anyone, especially for the sake of killing alone. We only kill things for food and seek to do so as swiftly and cleanly as possible if its involving hunting or farming. Most of us in modern times get our food from the same places everyone else does. We will give tanks for our food and drink as anyone else,and we may have some that feel they should give some of it as an offering such as pouring a drink on a stone or toss some of the meal into a fire or whatever. Yet that is really as far as it goes.
  • Do Druans or the clergy cast spells?
    Its been covered else where. The answer is, what one things is all spells and chanting or whatever is in reality no different than different ways of praying but as far as the word spell itself, it does not mean what most think it does which is the case with most things, and "spiritual practices are not in and of themselves "magic" by any spelling. Even basic sciences of chemistry and astronomy and botany were considered as forms of "magic" and the only reason such sciences are not presented as such now mostly occurred after the 1800s. So there's that. In any case do dont practice "magic" in the other sense because we are simply not Magi.
  • Why is Monday Night Pizza Considered a Sacred Communion?
    It embodies our core sense and belief in the importance forging our bonds through the act of sharing food that answers our need and expression of mutual mutual acceptance and importance. It also reinforces those bonds as a gesture of mutual trust and t shared comfort of mutual provision and reliance. We gather virtually and even in person when situations permit it to break bread as it were in the form of pizza as an expression of these values and sense of unity. Sharing a meal online and in person reminds us of our interconnected life as well as spiritual journey. This practice begins our week with mindfulness and reinforces our sense of a strong and supportive community and culture in which we are all valued collectively and individually.
  • Why are Heavy Metal and Stripping considered Sacred Music and Sacred Dance at Druwayu?
    At Druwayu, we see all art as sacred. By technicality we consider all things a gift of the Divine through existence. We choose to embrace specifically these two forms of art and entertainment for specific reasons. Heavy Metal is Sacred Music because of its energy, strong lyrics, and personal empowerment. Stripping is Sacred Dance because it shows freedom, confidence, and pride in the body. Both help with expressing a sense of spiritual liberation and building deeper connections, making Druwayu's spiritual space more inclusive and removing the stigmas of false shame in such things and are also part of the celebration of life here and now.
  • What are the views on Heresy and Apostasy?
    This is actually addressed under our Twenty Seven Opinions which is found in our Teachings. Simply put our view is all people who ever choose something of their own free will or for whatever motivations can be considered as "committing" some act of heresy or apostasy according to someone regardless if such have a theology or not or focus on philosophy or not. So we reject such things as even being a thing to be all that concerned with because all are free to choose what they will or will not adhere to. Its silly and nonsensical to pretend all will conform to any particular thing, especially if simply demanded and even less likely if the "reasoning or justification" is imposed without explanation. If one cannot explain it one can consider that one should not teach or preach it.
  • How do Druans believe our world was created?
    We believe the One and Three created the world and the universe as a whole by programming it with geometric mathematics and that everything is regulated through the Drikeyu which means Three Keys and expressed cosmological concepts of eternal laws, eternal reciprocal dynamics and eternal vitalizing life giving power and energy as that stuff all was made and is composed of. It is also believed that this cosmic evolution occurs over incomprehensible amounts of time and here on this planet as an eventuality, life, of which we are part of and not the central focus or pinnacle of existence, evolved into its current state (rather than created in its current form).
  • When does life begin?
    It began with the first form of life which no one really knows what that is or was, so life is life as it is. If its a question as to when it begins as in people, an egg and a sperm are alive and come together to make a baby when Guy beat Gal and they get naked and sweaty (because making new miniatures takes a lot of work). So in that, technically we can say when guy sees boobs also. Its a perspective thing.
  • If I don't see it mentioned is it permitted?
    Just because we may not "list every single thing," just because we don't have it written down does not mean its the same as an endorsement of anything. Many play off the claim of "if its not written down" then it must be okay! The reality is its an excuse rather than a justification.
  • What is the view on Sex Changes?
    What one does with their own bodies as adults is their affair. Therefore we do not deny this to those who seek it as adult persons over 18 years of age and have been fully informed of all the risks and drawbacks. We do not tolerate anyone not being told the full truth. However, this is not to be imposed or promoted to persons under 18 years of age or those who are clearly suffering from other mental illnesses and will not be tolerant of such things being handled irresponsibly. Along with this we do respect the pronouns of those who chooses to be identified specifically with their birth genders and what they have chosen to be and are transitioning to. We just don't tolerate.
  • What's the FCDs view on Abortion?
    The First Church of Druwayu sees it as a medical issue that should be between the woman and her doctor and not a particularly religious or political issue, even though many blow it up to that. Otherwise its no one else's business. We also consider every person's body as their own temple so if they want to make it look condemned or as clean as possible that's up to them. If some want to treat it like a carnival ride, that's fine also as long as its their choice and not imposed by or on anyone.
  • What's the FCDs view on Same Sex issues?
    As the Famous Robin Williams once stated, "You could talk about same-sex marriage, but people who have been married (say) 'It's the same sex all the time.'" Otherwise its not an issue. We accept people for who they are.
  • What is a man or a woman according to the Church?
    One's biological sex as male or female is their gender defined as XX chromosomes = female and XY chromosomes = male. The differences are also hormonal, structural and mental as it involves the whole person, not just parts of them. This is a biological and spiritual reality and not the same as social roles which alone can be called social constructs. Nor is male or female as sexual gender in the reproductive processes synonymous or alternative terms for sexual origination as heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual. Even if someone is born with both male and female reproductive organs as on one called a hermaphrodite in which the reproductive organs are predominately external and has the possibility of procreating through the act of sex, or androgynous being in which the reproductive organs are internal and do not procreate but rather reproduce spontaneously, there are still only two genders of male or female. There are also plenty of diverse deformities as in birth defects that occur due to many diverse causes. Pretending this is not a factual reality is itself self deceit and delusional and denial of clear, obvious and observational reality. In that we will not and do not cater to one's mental and emotional illnesses. We only support their proper and not social-political treatment regardless the pressuring and coercion.
  • What's the general view on Hate Speech?
    The concept of so called Hate Speech is extremely vague and because of that it is a huge risk to the protected freedoms of speech. In fact, because the term Hate Speech' is vague and arbitrary anyone can claim something is "hate based" and then take the leap to apply it as some sort of "hate crime" and call any disagreement "hateful" when in reality it isn't. Without any clear actually reasonable and clear and specific definition extremely slippery slope that could lead to further restrictions on speech over time. We already had reasonable anti-discrimination laws bases of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age. As such if hate speech is to be defined it must be clearly stated that it is more or less any specific action or form of speech that specifically targets someone with hateful commentary and explicitly promotes discrimination against others based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age and then must specific what is or isn't to be considered "hateful" and how it will be applied equally and non-selectively. One can look this u with the EEOC. The same also in some cases use to also include non-discrimination against someone based on their political party affiliation. We don't see that anymore. But that's why we all have to keep an eye on such things because there are many who indeed want nothing more than to dismantle all our protected rights as afforded to us by the constitutions. In addition, calling someone a racist who isn't can itself be considered hate speech though its more specifically slander and misrepresentation.
  • What about creating Propaganda?
    If you want to help create propaganda for Druwayu 'don't' do that annoying stuff like putting notices in windshield wipers of cars or shoving flyers in peoples doors, or doing that dour to door thing, or being irritating to people by telling them they need to or have to "whatever." There are plenty of other less annoying and "less garbage producing" means by which to help get the word out. Like for one, talking about it if someone asks; have some sort of something that represents Druwayu that invites conversations about it, get some merchandise to help support our efforts and have such conversation pieces that invites discussion, and so forth. It doesn't have to be an "in your face" kind of thing. Far too many others do that. Let us all avoid that as much as possible. Also, unlike others that intentionally go out of their way to "get under the skin" of different religious identities by the usual means of objections and jumping on the Controversy bandwagon, find other ways to go about it. We don't need to play off the anti-religious nonsense by pretending to be a religion based on superficial rhetoric and bad arguments.
  • How do Druans engage in protests?
    First, use your brain and not your emotions and actually kook at the facts and their consequences and have clear and open dialogue without threats or insults about the specific issues. In other words: Rejecting anything that clearly is directed in the deprivation of rights and liberties of the individual or promotes the dismantling of the US Constitution that protects our rights and civil liberties. Understand the issue properly and determine if a protest as in an objection to the subject is even warranted or just some other source trying to create problems where there are none. Be specific about what you are protesting and be able to explain and articulate a well defined statement why you are protesting something and what the reason or goal of the protest is. Stay focused on specific issues and do not adopt issues that you think are somehow related by analogy when they are not. Protest based on policy and laws and their clear consequences, not the identities or parties of candidates or whatever as such things are entirely irrelevant. Stand for and only address the specific issues and principles at hand and do not blindly support the entire package of agendas of and parties, organizations or individuals. Focus on specific and demonstrable facts, not arbitrary and often sideline invented and distracting narratives being pushed. Don't just engage with those who have chosen blindly to believe in the principles of your movement but restrict your movement to people who have a clear and honest understanding of the facts and concerns in question intellectually rather than emotionally. Second, a list of things we will not advocate, support or engage in as part of our gatherings for the purpose of protesting are but not limited to: Shouting over others. being loud does not make you more right. It just makes you loud and a rather useless annoyance. Supporting or regurgitating clear and obvious lies with the express purpose to misrepresent and lander others to excite riots and violence. Supporting anything that prevents one from protecting themselves or others from physical harm at the hands of a small or large mob. Blocking pedestrian or vehicle traffic which prevents others from doing their normal activities and blocks people from getting to emergency situations and puts everyone at needless risk. Engaging in any acts of vandalism, such as the destruction of public or private properties for any reason or promote or encourage others to engage in such militant actions. Resorting to actions of intimidation, harassment, threatening and attacking others (which are violent actions of terrorism) to force their support and silence their objections. Attacking or demanding the attack of and 'elimination' and termination of the life of lives of law enforcement and first responders or engaging in any activities that prevent such from doing their jobs and counters their ability to maintain civil order and peace. f your protest calls for these things than as far as we are concerned, you are an enemy of freedom and individual autonomy no matter who you are or what party color coding you or particular group identity associate yourself with. In other words you are the problem, not the solution to a problem and it really is that simple. Engaging in, promoting, inciting, and or celebrating physical violence that deliberately targets citizens and civilians is never justifiable. Defending oneself from those types by any means on the other hand is and that is the reality when others get violent. We will not support, as such, any policies or laws that demand one to be a law abiding victim because of some idiotic ideology that is especially disconnected from reality.
  • What's the view on celebrating non-Druan holidays?
    Druwayu is not an advocate of pettiness. participate if you want or do not if you dont wish to. The choice is entirely yours. If someone invites you to participate in their seasonal religious and holiday events and its not something directed against you specifically or even intended to try and convert you, have at it. If someone says to one of us Merry Christmas we will say it back not because we are mocking Christians or that we have created some sort of false hybrid with Christianity, but because t isn't actually harming us any. If someone has such a phrase or has it on their personal business displays, we do not take it as "offensive" and find those who do as petty or says something like "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" we simply take it as its true for Christians for their particular seasonal observance and shout out to other Christians. We do not need to be childish and claim its some sort of attack on Druans with different beliefs. that's just silly. So frankly if no one is being aggressive over such things, we have no reason to be aggressive and if they are not actually threatening us, we do not need to be threatening either. Its simple.
  • At Open Religious Displays, can we demand Equal Billing?
    We rather you didn't and for good reason. These reasons come down to the following: Far too many use that as a means to mock, insult and slander other religions. We need to avoid that because it does not build peaceful bridges of peaceful coexistence and instead drive in much wider wedges. Most who engage in such acts are doing so not as a demand for equal recognition but shut down of the freedom of religious expression which is incompatible with Druwayu. When it is acceptable is when it comes to any religious identity imposing itself into government blurring separation of Church and State which violates the First Amendment and imposes a Theocracy in its place. If that is the case than: There is no issue within Druwayu for one to demand that Druwayu is given the same recognition as those trying to impose themselves as part of equal right and civil liberties and as a protest against those who seek to dismantle the separation of church and state. If its something being forced as well into the classroom than it is appropriate to be so equally recognized and it to be demanded that such matters be allowed only within the confines of a World cultures course that takes time to acknowledge and teaches the basics about all diverse belief systems and even parody movements for purely educational reasons. Otherwise within Druwayu, Druwayu is not generally taught to and for the most part not directed at kids. Because kids may come across something about Druwayu, we also tend to keep content more 'G" rated since even "PG-13" is often highly questionable with what it promotes or allows to "slip through the censors" as it were.
  • Can I use Druwayu observances as an excuse for non-participation?
    Generally speaking, no. At Druwayu, we value personal religious participation and their role in your spiritual journey. While we encourage participation, we respect the need to prioritize your practices. We do not encourage one to use "religious reasons" as an excuse from fulfilling such as job obligations or used as a means to try and sidestep particular laws. Druwayu is dedicated to a respectful and inclusive environment for all members and instead we understand that there is a necessity for most to miss an activity for many diverse reasons that are not particularly religious. We do recommend better planning on your part and your responsibility of informing others of your requirement to attend religious observances prior to making any other commitments..
  • What about reasonable accommodations for religious attire in the work place?
    Our view is simply that if you apply to a job and know there is a dress code and accept employment as an agreed contract which includes accepting such dress code, than you need to abide by the said dress code as expected. If you do not like the dress code requirements do not take the job or try and force employers to submit to such demands and instead start your own business with more lax dress code or no dress code requirements. We do not advocate being petty or harassing anyone. It is not our way. ​It is true that some courts in the United States have held that workplaces are expected to provide reasonable accommodations for their employees when it concerns religious practices, especially when that involves religious attire of a cultural significance. In some jurisdictions it may be considered a legal obligation. However, Druwayu is more laid back than most in such regards in that as Druans we abide by what is agreed upon with employers and with what has already been stated. While we do expect such work places to uphold such religious freedoms of expression for all equally, we won't advocate anything that puts anyone in needless risk of injury or worse. We will support faith-specific clothing items or jewelry as expressions of one's Druish devotion as such things develop over time so long as such things do not interfere with job performance or safety concerns such as potential injury and strangulation hazards and so forth. If you refuse to abide by the safety requirements you have no business working in such a location and should be released from such employment post haste.
  • How can I help the First Church of Druwayu?
