While spending time writing on the fundamentals we figured it'd make sense to explain a bit about us and who we are, so here we go.
We are the Sanctuary System, an ever expansive collection of Dolls, Witches, Acolytes, marionette Knights, half-divinities, and more.
We are heavily pro-inclusive and believe that unconditional compassion and care should be given to all, regardless of their societally perceived moral purity or supposed lack thereof. Yes, even the beings you despise and hate with all your heart, all beings deserve compassion.
We are polytheistic by nature and are dedicated to the Lenses of the Universe and the Deities that progenated them. We are mendicants, meaning that we as a system have taken a vow of poverty and refuse to acknowledge the concept of personal property.
Our vow of mendicancy (and specifically our belief that we own nothing) is pushed by the fact that we view ourselves as simply caretakers and stewards over the entities that exist around us. Our animism is key to us, and understanding that everything has its own soul and being is key to understanding why "owning" things just doesn't work for us as a whole.
The various subgroupings of beings within here all have specific duties that they carry out, such as dolls performing maintenance for ourselves and others, Witches cataloguing and seeking to understand this world better, Knights protecting the selves internally and externally, so forth and so forth.
We write mainly on the Lenses, our Gods, their interactions with us and the world around us, as well as our experiences with being non-human and finding solace in the unknown.
We are inherently very pulled to perform acts of service to the Gods and our Sisterwitch, but this compassion and care extends to all, all should receive and be accepted into Sanctuary.
We'd write more, but it's late and the vessel is suffering from a severe lack of sleep on top of various other illnesses... we are all happy to meet you regardless.
