Aduno: Latin for “I Unite”.
I unite all truths and bring them into my work to learn and grow.
30 Fundamental Beliefs and Values:
The Canon: There is no holy canon for this path, just guides which I can choose to follow. In addition to The Aduno Path as a guideline, credible writings on whatever deity I choose to follow shall be my scripture. I will also use my own workings to deepen my knowledge and understanding.
The Trinity: I will respect the three phases of the moon and the maiden-mother-crone aspect of my deity, if so associated. I respect that cycle of the conscious Universe often comes in threes.
The God: Whether as an actual deity or simply an archetype, I will respect the God and whatever lessons they may have in store for me.
The Goddess: Whether as an actual deity or simply an archetype, I will respect the Goddess and whatever lessons they may have in store for me.
The Universe: I am a child of a conscious Universe and seek to understand its many mysteries to the best of my ability.
Creation: At its Creation, the Earth was bountiful with pure magic. If I incorporate it into my personal path, I seek the ability to harness such magic and let it flow through me.
Nature of Magic: Magic is truly neutral. It is how I wield it that makes it light, neutral, or dark.
Nature of Man: Every human, like magic, has the potential for good or bad. None of us are inherently one or the other. I must be conscious of my actions and responsible for the results of them.
Sovereignty: I must fight to secure my sovereignty and be true to myself at all times.
Spiritual Community: Whether as a solitary practitioner or someone who only does magic in a group, I recognize the benefits that come with knowing my community.
Mission: My mission is not to convert anyone but rather showcase the good and sovereign that can be found in human nature.
Unity: Though we may harbour different beliefs and practices, Aduno means “I unite” and I seek to be a part of that unity.
Dedication: If I so choose, I can dedicate myself to a patron deity and form a special relationship with them.
Circle Casting: If I so choose, I can incorporate a casting circle into my workings. This is a sacred way to tune into that primal magic by incorporating the elements, spirit, and nature. It will also provide protection.
Spiritual Gifts: If the universe sees fit to grant me spiritual gifts that I accept, I will develop and utilize them to the best of my ability.
The Gift of Prophecy: The gift of prophecy is a rare and special gift that requires work and dedication. If I am given this and choose to use it, I will aim to grow and develop in it.
Morality: I will respect the sovereignty of others as long as they do not harm others unprovoked.
Worship: Worship can be as simple as meditation or a walk in nature.
Genuine Behaviour: I am to speak my mind when I am asked and able to and act with genuine emotion.
Stewardship: Some may be called to teach, preach, lead, or serve. Should the universe gift me a task that I accept, I will do so with sincerity and diligence.
Handfasting: Handfasting is an ancient marital practice. This can be used for any adult couple who wishes to bind themselves to one another.
Nature: Our best connection to that Universal primal magic, I will respect, honour, and sanctify nature.
Equality: Everyone is equal in the eyes of a conscious universe.
Holy Days: The Sabbats are basic holy days that reflect the changing of nature. I can celebrate the consciousness of the Universe on Earth Day. The spiritual year begins anew at Samhain. If I work with a deity, I can add their holy days to my personal wheel of the year.
Ancestors: Honour ancestors who deserve to be honoured and remembered. They hold wisdom and have carved a path for me to exist.
Meditation: Meditation and other similar methods of achieving enlightenment are good tools. Given my time and ability, I will hone my skills and aim to vibrate on a higher frequency.
Openness: I will seek the truth as dutifully as possible and be open to learning new things.
Justice: In all things, I must fight for the oppressed and seek out justice, fairness, and equity.
Enlightenment: I do not need to put aside earthly possessions and relationships for a life of solitude to attain enlightenment, though an obsession with earthly possessions is not healthy for the soul. Enlightenment is to live well and justly in order to prepare your spirit to ascend.
Sacred Symbols: Sigils are sacred symbols that can serve many purposes including the transformation into servitors. If I so choose, I will incorporate sigils and respect their sacredness.
