KEY POINTS
​

Many of our members have grown disillusioned with various identities such as Paganism and Heathenry due to the prevalence of paranoid persecution complexes, misinformation, fraud, and more. They have chosen to reject these associations while still embracing a diverse and polytheistic spirituality. Similarly, we recognize that issues like extremist bigotry, misinformation, and fraud are not confined to Paganism and Heathenry alone. Zionism, Christianity, and Islam have also faced challenges with extremist factions that distort their core teachings and values. We stand firmly against any form of extremist bigotry, occult practices, or parody movements that seek to misuse the principle of religious freedom to attack and undermine genuine religious expression and spiritual experience.

At Druwayu, we believe in promoting rational thinking, compassion, and mutual respect. Our commitment to these principles ensures that our community remains a safe and inclusive space for meaningful dialogue and spiritual growth. We reject any actions or ideologies that seek to harm or divide, including the foolishness of any form of Satanism that seeks to parody or undermine genuine spiritual practices. By adhering to these values, we strive to cultivate a culture of understanding and solidarity, where intellect, humor, and genuine connections thrive.

​

We aim to counter these issues by creating a space where individuals can:

​

• Explore their beliefs.

• Engage in meaningful discussions.

• Find a sense of shared strength in mutual belonging.

​

Together, we can create an environment where everyone feels valued and respected, free from pointless bickering or violence and instead be decisive in maintaining a space for meaningful dialogue and mutual spiritual growth. Indeed, out paths may be different, and unlike others, we do not believe or claim all paths lead to the same source, and they don't have to, and that is its own point. We can either learn from one another and grow perpetually or remain stagnant which only leads to extinction. Druans are those that rather plant the seeds and see them grow into endless generations of forests.
