I made this clear back in September of 2014 when many were already starting in on the garbage and rhetoric about various social and political things they were imposing and all the gringe nonsense they were putting up on public social media and mainstream legacy media outlets that has become all too common, sensationalized and over promoted.
In short, a lot of the so called "tolerant/peaceful" whatever groups have shown clearly they are all full of crap. A big steam pile of crap in fact. These are the same that call themselves pagans and whatever and claim they don't have anything to do with any form of Satanism, even as so called Pagan community sites, only to be loaded with all things rooted in Satanism.
So I created my own 'Fuck You' to all of them that those who know me
have seen this way back before 2009.
It's old but I dont have the means to digitally clean it up, so it is what it is.
All that said, let me make clear several important points which many will find very hard to accept or believe and that isn't my problem. That is their problem. It was originally posted on September 4th, 2014 at 1:44 AM. I updated it later with a couple minor typo corrections for example so nothing extreme or extended in that sense.
1) I was raised in a basically Christian home like many others. I did not reject it right off and it was never because I was some how oppressed. I know that isn't true for everyone, but whatever.
2) When I was a kid I had a really bad speech impediment, and family taught me how to draw so it became a means of communication which allowed me to get along better with other kids but was always a bit of an outsider and I was fine with that. I still am in many ways.
3) When I was only 10 years old I started helping family paint windows for the holidays and because i was super fast and really detailed it helped nail down a lot of accounts. I did that for years but it was largely season, otherwise, honestly it would have made a hell of a lot of money for me. But I was the type that studied everything people wanted me to produce and that got me interested in mythology.
4) I wanted to help people generally so aside from mythology studies and drawing I began to also study theology, Christianity and it's history so I would not be like those goofs called Televangelists and I certainly did not like the whole Holier or more persecuted then thou B.S.
Eventually in my early 20's I went in took some tests which the church wanted me to study for but I was give me the test, and if I fail than that will be the area I will brush up on. So they did and I passed the requirements and then some, so i literally went from minister to Doctor of Divinity in a matter of 3 weeks is all.
5) The more I learned as a serious theologian which inevitably brings you face to face with all the crazy Occult stuff as a more or less forewarned forearmed principle, I studied intensely the history of Warlocks and Witches, all the horrific history, etc. (Shit happened, but it didn't happen to us or you so get the fuck over it).
6) That is what also put me face to face with scholastic B.S. and the prevalence of such to simply toss foot notes and gloss things, in other words when it came to Warlocks and Witches it all was definition by association, not the words themselves.
7) When I came face to face with Wicca (including the fact its still mispronounced) and Paganism (which is still falsified in its meaning) and all that stuff when there was a big push in the late 80's and early 90's I was like, OK let's see if any of them have any sound facts. I was readily irritated with all I was reading. So I tossed it all out and rightfully so.
One also should be aware that back in the 80's we had the whole Satanic panic crap and that was my first brush with BHTs as I call Big Hair Televangelists and all the BS they spew all the time and how many people were getting duped by them and still are.
We also had the Rajneesh thing here in Oregon. Boy was that a loon fest. So i studied all I could get my hands on with cultures in India and unlike others in all my studies, when I was able to speak with people form these cultures I would let them tell me their views without preconceived biases.
9) I began to study and when possible looked into actual nomadic people of Europe and the circumpolar regions and that was really enlightening and made me all the more critical of other movements that frankly no matter how others claim their things, so much of what everyone thinks has anything to do with ancient European cultures is like a weird mix of the occult, and Nazi stuff. Some of it minus the outright racist eugenic crap. That is what added to my interest in ethnology and a profound deeper respect for legitimately Indigenous cultures.
10)Eventually I moved to an area near some reservation lands, and when permitted the audience, I would seek to learn from the various tribal elders their views and history from their perspective. To this very day I have kept my promise not to share much about these things because of 2 main reasons. 1) They asked me to respect their ways and I have. 2) there is many beliefs among various tribes and they are not all the same so those that make sweeping claims of "Native American Religion" is bullshit and misleading and I am not a member of those tribes, even if i have some lineage floating around.
11) I was not raised in their culture and that makes me by default divorced from them. Does this mean I do not have friends from within the various tribes and first nations? Of course not, but you must be a true friend and earn the respect. If you want to know about native Americans don't be a douche and ask them. But if they ask you something show them the same respect and courtesy and don't be dodgy or opinionated.
When in doubt, shut up and listen.
By the time I was 26ish I had already a hell of a lot of knowledge and because of my own sense of respect I eventually renounced my ordinations and just got the generic legal ordination without question of your faith thing like ULC in Modesto Cal. and the ULC Monastery in the State of WA. I had no frame of reference for what I believed or came to learn. I did not use the title Warlock either at that time.
So finally I sat down with a few friends at a local burger joint, and I was off in one of my moments of zoning out full of thoughts, sorting things out in my head and what not. I think one of the friends at that time mentioned something about a TV show and i think it was Oprah to be honest. Talking about everything from Satanists, Psychic Vampires and all sorts of crap. Well it snapped my attention to the subject and of course I was picking the shit apart.
One of them was getting into Wicca making the whole Waerloga claim to which I pointed out the shit claim and the source of it. After all, my studies were several bibles including Anglo Saxon ones yadda yadda and Beowolf, etc. I pointed out the real words, roots and a lot more and took them later that day to the local library and broke out huge books they had with all the archaic words and so on. Of course the reaction of them was "You don't expect me to read that do you?" My reply was, If your going to make a claim know what your talking about first. LOL, so YES!.
That ended up proving more interesting to some of them then they thought. After a few months pouring over all the details, and some even catching some things I missed and appreciated actually since it added to my knowledge, the one interested in Wicca lost interest rather fast after that. We did not have the internet BTW till after 96 and it almost failed. So we were not inundated with all the internet BS we see today.
It was only a couple years or so after that movie Warlock came out of course, and one day while I was walking with a friend carrying some books for study I ran into some Church members that I rejected for several reasons I will leave at that. One of them spouted off and said Your a Witch! I raise my eyebrow and said "um, go back to your theology class because being as I am a dude, it would be a Warlock. of course the nut job replied, So you admit it! You and your kind are going to loose, etc. etc. etc. I rolled my eyes walking past the moron. Then he started getting physically threatening, and got his ass arrested. Stupid doof.
My friend said, "well, technically your still a priest and since that is all a Warlock is..." to which I said, don't feed into it because I am not taking any title I am not prepared to stand up for. So even then I wanted every last detail inside and out. But the identity stuck regardless and I just went with it and figured I should focus more effort on getting it down. And I did. Of course once people hear your a recognized local Warlock all sorts of loopy loops come out of the wood work. Oh boy. I had wackos begging me to give them a copy of my grimoire etc. to Law enforcement wanting to know if I or anyone else was involved in ritual killings of neighbor cats.
I even had a couple court room judges in unrelated things ask, are you an occultist? I smarted off at one Judge and said, I am not just the founder of a cult, I am a client. Fortunately he got the joke. The other one, not so much. In any case I ended up writing out a Big ass letter of facts from fictions, this and that, and whatever. I was tossed into a point of having to be a professor without the degree. And yes it cost me some employment opportunities. But i figured if they were those kind of douche bags I did not want to work for them and took an attitude of me working for them was a privilege for them not the other way around. Eventually I just left the town packed up and moved.
While working at another place, I ended up running into a dude that noticed some stuff I had been wearing who was a coworker, and asked if I was a Wiccan or Pagan or something. I replied, close but no cigar. This was the start of a solid friendship which lead to making new friends and the town itself was certainly more tolerant other than the city council which had mostly LDS members. Blah. Anyways...'
So around march of 2009 I shared with them the facts from the fictions, gave them references to search on their own and if they had questions they could ask me which included me stating Magic is bullshit unless your trying to be a Zoroastrian at which point you should seek such and study that specifically.
One day later that same year, nearing 'CHRISTMAS,' Bite me, I said Christmas, a couple of them said I should consider going online and share some of the details. I figured why not. So I made the attempt and big mistake of going to various online communities of Wiccans, Pagans, etc. being friendly at first and letting them ask questions. Mostly they were fine and had no problem even agreeing with much of my statements and my usual pointing to references for them to consider on their own, but when it came to the title Warlock, the same BS was spun like I just ass fucked their dead mother on their face.
Very few who on their own were better informed and backed me on that got ostracized, blocked and banned from those sites they had been on for years and it pissed me off and got myself intentionally banned telling them what a bunch of sanctimonious hypocritical High school fuck-tards they were. Funny enough some of the locations still have bits of what i wrote but altered them and confused them into a wtf mess.
So one of the guys i knew said, Hey man, name it already and make your own site or use my old one. I said fine whatever, so I went and posted on the two sites, one called Ghostuniverse (with the sense of being present but not always seen or noticed) and the other 3Covens, the later I took over till the host changed everything and the site could not update to the new format. I never liked the name but whatever.
So in 2010 I finally said OK It's Sidutru (which I later changed to Druwayu which is explained elsewhere in 2014). The guys were all; dude wtf does that mean. Once they understood they liked it but mentioned its a really new way of putting things together even if it is legitimate words and hard to remember. I said good. If its different it is enough. Some of the locations i tried to put up the information at got cut down, mainly by a bunch of "wiccan" groups to which I finally contacted a couple of web hosts and said, don't make me get ACLU involved. I almost had to.
Then we had the whole fuck-tards from Salem MA. and the Charlie Sheen thing. If I could have reached through the TV and the Net I would have bitch slapped them all so hard. It was after that I accepted fully the title by friends and even family that acknowledged me as a Warlock within the actual context of a priest and to which I actually was earlier called the Arch or Head Warlock among them which I just equate as High Priest/Elder without the whole let it go to your head crap.
PS. I am still legally ordained and I just never have bothered paying for a "Special Title" from those sources. So my purpose is to simply lay out the basics, have intelligent discussions with people that can set aside all the hype and BS and the Hollywood, Harry Potter type crap, superstitions, misinformation and occult rooted bunk and the whole Self empowerment bullshit that goes with the rest of the shit people ad hoc in with their empty and frankly out of date political piss sessions and ego stroking.
Other images I made associated with this alter-ego of myself of sorts both online and offline in the real world. Those who have known me for many years can attest to this as I have used this name in both online an in offline games.
I created the last image in Gold was created for my 50th Birthday, January 10th, 2023.
