So...

I’ve been trying to incorporate more honesty into my life (more honest than I already am??? I know), and mentally I’ve been calling it a ‘sacred vow of honesty’ like a vow of silence, but to never be untruthful. It has made me consider my words more carefully and be more truthful and open (for example, my friend asked about the lightning bolt and C2D I drew on myself, and rather than just brush it off, I explained that it stood for Cling 2 Discipline, and the lightning bolt was for the God of Gods, Zeus, glory to the Gods).

However... I haven’t taken this vow with any Gods yet or done any actual ceremony or ritual!! I know it’s a long shot, but has anybody done anything similar or heard of anybody doing the same? Any advice or ideas?

Inno a Sogno

L'Oniro mendace comincio a cantare che salga sincero dal corno abissale.  Tu celere aiuti le menti devote,  svelando nel Sonno memorie remote.

Oh scendi leggero dal carro lunare, stillando le gocce d'un acqua ancestrale. Disvela del Fato le Trame future, offrendo riparo per l'anime pure.
