The means by which you can help are diverse and wide open. Just Contact us with any ideas or contributions you would like to make on behalf of this Church and its Community Members. Of course when it comes to selling anything it needs to be directly through our website and proceeds need to be specifically for supporting the church and its missions. None of it should be illegal either in compliance with the First Amendment of the United States of America to name a few foundational freedoms.

1. Build a Strong Online Presence:

Social Media: Utilize platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter to share updates, memes, events, and engage with a wider audience. Create visually appealing posts that highlight the community's culture and activities.
Online Ordination/Credential Creation: Donate to projects just as for our goal to create clergy ID Cards, Credentials and Letters of Good Standing to be ordained as a Warlock or Witch of the Druish culture and tradition. Naturally the more active clergy the more effective we can be.

Special Rituals: Develop unique rituals that mark significant life events (birthdays, coming of age, weddings) in the Druwayu way, making them memorable and meaningful.
Sacred Music and Dance Nights: Organize regular gatherings focused on Heavy Metal music and Stripping as sacred dance. These events can serve as powerful, communal spiritual experiences.

6. Educational Initiatives:

Online Course Development: Create online courses for those who cannot meet you in person.

Creating Lore for Druwayu:

These are my top 20 key Story Writing questions one should ask when writing about specific persons or events that may be included as part of the Druwayu specific collections. The more original the content, the better it will be, and obviously, the more aligned and relatable with all the previous information as the essential foundations of Druwayu, it will make it all that much better. It does not need to be purged of any humor either. Every culture should have some sense of humor especially about itself, as it helps keep things more respectful and less prone to paranoid exaggerations, fears and excuses.

Who or what is it about?
Where do they or does it come from?
What shaped their personality or the situation?
How does that personality or situation affect other personalities or situations?
What do they want or what is the point?
What are their habits, what are the current conditions?
How their habits and or habitats influence their personalities and align?
What is their sense of self and what is the influence of the environment on them?
How do you avoid imposing your own views on the characters?
How much of yourself do you want reflected in any of the characters?
Can you separate yourself from the characters?
How much of other character personalities are based on your perception of others?
How do they react or not act in a given situation?
they consistent with their choices of action or inaction or are they unpredictable?
How can they gain or not gain something, or why can't they get what they seek?
What did they do about it or did others do about them?
Why one thing or another doesn’t work and why have the avoided something that might?
How does it all end and does the end actually make sense?
Is the ending consistent with the overall story from its premise to its conclusion?
Is the ending meant to be the conclusion of the story or left open for its expansion?

Things to also remember are:

It does not have to be historical to convey some wisdom or important lesson.
If it is fiction based indicate it as such so that it is not presented as history when it never was.
If it is historically based, it must be the discipline of the author to not insert their interpretations of such events, impose the fallacy of presentism, and simply record them as they occurred, regardless one’s feelings or opinions about such matters.
If it is a myth or fable, it must be clearly indicated as such, and in addition to all the above, it does not have to be a long story, and can be rather short ones as part of the growing and dynamic lore of Druwayu.
It should not be based upon or intended to be the mockery of something outside of Druwayu, though this does not mean it should lack humor and sarcasm and if any conflicts are mentioned it must be based on the present and not unreliable fictions of the long forgotten past regardless the sources.
