THE FIRST OATH OF FIONN I, Fionn oMurchu, before the Gods and Spirits, and especially you, O Morrighan, Great Queen, Precious Lady who showed me the way through my darkness, declare myself a seeker of the Old Ways and a worshiper of the Elder Gods. With this Holy Oath I set my foot upon the Druid Path, and I vow to make my dedication plain. I vow to keep the nine virtues in my life that I may do what is right and correct by my kin, my community, and the Land. I vow to honor you Gods and Spirits by observing the rites and sacrifices in their proper times, and to listen to your Voices at my hearth and in the world. I vow to deepen my understanding by study to fill my mind with the wisdom and truth of the Old Ways. These things I swear to an Mhor Rioghain, to the Gods, to the Spirits, and to all who hear my voice or read my words. So be it. |
