With gratitude to the Daughters of Xiosia, especially Ladies Elady, Dannae, Narthen and Siteya, and in humble homage to Our Lady Goddess Xiosia HerselfI be pleased to announce a FEAST and RECEPTION
marking the beginning of the Sons of Xiosia, a Religious Society.
The DoX will provide the feast at the Stonehead Tavern in Gugrontid, and all men, kran, klyros or others sincerely interested in dedicating their life's energy to the
Balance of Nature and the Peace and Compassion of our Goddess are welcome! We will share in the bounty of Nature, listen to Elady and other Priestesses of Xiosia's teachings, and have time where questions may be asked and our Oath and Statement will be distributed to those sincerely interested. The SoX is a Religious Society and not a Guild so membership in a Guild need not deter ye from expressing yer devotion to Our Lady.
Our SoX Oath to Xiosia:
Freely and without coercion, I will ~Provide for the needy, Protect the threatened, Celebrate Nature, Behave with Balance, and Honor Xiosia’s Spirit in Thoughts and Deeds.The SoX are dedicated followers and protectors of the sacred teachings of Xiosia, the Goddess, the Keeper of Balance and Nature in our world. The Sons of Xiosia have allied with the Daughters of Xiosia and other Guilds of Yliakum to protect the common good. We assume friendship and integrity in all others, until proven otherwise. The SoX are organized to follow Nature as reveal by Xiosia, by fostering the growth of equality, community, strength used to protect the common good and spiritual advancement. The SoX are organized into three paths of spiritual growth, or Circles: Xiosia’s Shield, Xiosia’s Staff and Xiosia’s Song.
* Xiosia’s Shield are our Goddesses’ Warriors of the Faith and the People. The Shield Circle attracts Nature’s followers who excel in weaponry and wish to use their skills to bring more Balance into our land by standing as a firstline against evils that surround us, including rogues, outlaws, criminals and those organized to bring our world into Chaos and Loss.
* Xiosia’s Staff are our Goddesses’ Protectors of the Faith and the People. The Staff Circle attracts followers of Xiosia who express their spiritual advancement by providing for the living needs of citizens, such as hunters, cooks, miners, carpenters, trail leaders and the like.
* Xiosia’s Song are our Goddesses’ Honor guardians. The Song Circle attracts followers of Xiosia who are storytellers, singers, dancers, teachers, feast creators, lore masters, homilists, priests and ambassadors of the Faith. The Song Circle provides for the spiritual education of the People, assist in building Communities, and act as liaisons to all other Circle members.
Please look for me around Hydlaa if ye need more information before this week's end, or send me yer groffel with a message and I will do me best to respond. Ye can also leave a message with Elady at the Stonehead.
Thankee!
May Xiosia spread charmflowers before ye and surround yer blades with compassion.
