RENOUNCIATION RITE

I, of my own free will and clear mind, declare the permanent renunciation of my previous conditioning. I no longer recognize the authority of its doctrines, nor do I accept the guilt and fear that it once placed upon my being.

I renounce forevermore the bastard jesus

I renounce forevermore the lying god of shit stories

I renounce forevermore the whore mary

I renounce forevermore the holy spirit of lies

I renounce forevermore the church of lies

I renounce forevermore the book of human lies

I acknowledge the pain it caused by denying my identity as a gay person and by teaching shame in place of self-acceptance. From this day forward, I release those bindings and affirm my truth as a Gay Theistic Satanist. I see the divine in knowledge, in rebellion against spiritual oppression, and in the courage to love freely and fully.

To MY GOD SATAN, the figure of enlightenment and freedom, I give my respect and total devotion — not as a symbol of evil, but as the embodiment of self-liberation and divine wisdom. I pledge to live by authenticity, compassion, and courage.

My path shall not be ruled by fear or conformity, but by integrity, wisdom, and the pursuit of understanding. This declaration marks my turning point — a new beginning guided by truth, pride, and spiritual strength. Signed and sealed by my will, in full awareness of my choice and belief. HAIL OUR GOD SATAN FOREVER 9 9 9

Would a druid be able to retire and leave all this work behind if he wanted to or is that shunned in the druid order?

In Reformed Druidism there’s a phrase “once a druid, always a druid” which is based on the simplicity of the Two Basic Tenets of belief. A Reformed Druid would have to say that they literally hate nature and that it goes against their spirituality in order to de-druidify themselves.

However there have been some who have left saying they renounced druidry as well as their offices and titles.

Gary Zempel was elected thePatriarch of Sirona, the Seventh Order. However, beforehe got around to ordaining any other members of thisOrder, he sent out a letter renouncing his Patriarchy, evenhis identity as Gary Zempel. Not too long after, DavidFisher attempted to resign the Patriarchy of the FourthOrder, due to a feeling it was inconsistent with being anAnglican Priest.

—Endnotes in The Chronicles of the Foundation

They may have stated that they resigned from druidry, but the order still considers them to be druids. In our record keeping of those who have entered the priesthood, we also have a record of those who no longer wish to be contacted.

The short answer is that apostasy does occur within the Reformed Druid movement. While we wish them all the best and that they’ll feel moved to someday return, they are still honorary druids to us.

Renouncement

I must not think of thee; and, tired yet strong, I shun the thought that lurks in all delight—    The thought of thee—and in the blue heaven’s height, And in the sweetest passage of a song. Oh, just beyond the fairest thoughts that throng    This breast, the thought of thee waits hidden yet bright; But it must never, never come in sight; I must stop short of thee the whole day long. But when sleep comes to close each difficult day,    When night gives pause to the long watch I keep, And all my bonds I needs must loose apart, Must doff my will as raiment laid away,—    With the first dream that comes with the first sleep I run, I run, I am gathered to thy heart.

I must not think of thee; and, tired yet strong, I shun the love that lurks in all delight-- The love of thee--and in the blue heaven's height, And in the dearest passage of a song. Oh, just beyond the sweetest thoughts that throng This breast, the thought of thee waits hidden yet bright; But it must never, never come in sight; I must stop short of thee the whole day long. But when sleep comes to close each difficult day, When night gives pause to the long watch I keep, And all my bonds I needs must loose apart, Must doff my will as raiment laid away,-- With the first dream that comes with the first sleep I run, I run, I am gather'd to thy heart. 

Renouncement, Alice Meynell

Few people understand that there is a refusal which has nothing in common with renouncement. What is the meaning here of the words future, improvement, position? What is the meaning of the progress of the soul? If I obstinately refuse all of the "laters" of this world, it is because it is also a question of not renouncing my present richness. I do not like to believe that death opens into another life. For me it is a closed door. I do not say that it is a step which must be taken, but that it is a horrible and filthy adventure. Everything that is proposed to me endeavors to take away from man the weight of his own life. - Albert Camus -

It's been awesome. - Admin Donghae

Before I say anything else, I just want to let you all know how thankful I am to have been able to help create such a roleplay as this one. It was out of boredom and a few good-natured motives which drove the other admins and me to build up a community like this. Running Myeonghwan has been a good first-time admin experience, and I wouldn't choose another roleplay to have done it at.

I'm sorry for the times I haven't been the best admin ever (especially with having occasionally left apps to spoil in the inbox) and all those instances where I haven't been the best example for members (ya know, rules can be bent).

Anyways, I'm pretty sure you all have a general idea of what my main point for writing up this post is. That's right--you've guessed it. I will be leaving Myeonghwan. As a senior in high school, I can say for sure that things haven't been a stroll through the park like they used to be. School, activities, homework, projects, responsibilities, and life in general has taken up most of my time and priorities. It's not fair to keep hogging a character who I barely even use anymore, and I feel as if taking another hiatus would just be abusing my rights. I think it's time I let Donghae go for someone who might want to make better use of him.

Since this roleplay has existed, I've made sure to leave every new member a little welcome message (so if you didn't get it, well then, Tumblr must just love to cockblock). My little Jiminy Cricket won't let me off without doing so. I'm sorry for the people who I've been plotting with, but it was nice to be able to interact with you guys, even if I wasn't able to do so with everyone.

Maybe one day, when I'm able to better manage my time, I'll come back just to be with you guys again. I'll miss you all.

Your friend, troll, appa or whatever, and former Admin Donghae, Jace (but my real name's Matthew)

Lol--there, there. Don't worry, I'll still be around. I'm not leaving this place for good, eesh. Who else would help with the profiles and graphics? The other main admins and I will still be running this place as usual. The only catch--we won't be holding on to any characters. So yes, Admin Tiffany and Admin Sang il will also be dropping their characters. We'll be lurking (as per usual) and making sure to keep an eye on you guys.

Oh yeah, if you want to stay in touch, here's my twitter: @_102895.

Peace, ya'll. ~
