TOTEM OF THE FAMILY.
NO ONE WHO RALLIES AGAINST HIS FAMILY OR TRIBE SHALL BE KEPT IN
BANISHMENT PAST 14 YEARS AFTER THE EVENT, IF THAT UNDO THE HARM
CAUSED.
NO ONE WHO EXTENDED THEMSELVES IN THE SUPPORT OF THEIR FAMILY OR
TRIBE SHALL BE BANISHED FOR OLD AGE OR THE ACTIONS OF INFIRMITY.
IT IS NECESSARY THAT SKRYING, VISIONS, ASPECTING AND ALL OTHER
APPARENT VISIONS OF OUR LORD AND LADY BE QUESTIONED. IT IS
ESSENTIAL TO OUR REBIRTH THAT WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOT OUR OWN
WISHFUL THINKING OR PRIDE, IF THERE BE THE LEAST DOUBT, THE
VISION MUST BE DENIED.
If a true vision is denied by the initiated, the Lady will
underline the truth in the vision in an unquestionable form. If
this underlining comes as a punishment, it is still a small price
to pay when compared to the consequences of a false vision.
IF EVER ANY OF THE TRIBE NEED A HOUSE OR LAND AND NONE WILL SELL,
THEN CRAFT MAY BE USED TO INCLINE THE OWNERS TO SELL, PROVIDED IT
HARMETH HIM NOT, AND THE FULL PRICE IS PAID WITHOUT HAGGLING.
NEVER BARGAIN OR CHEAPEN ANYTHING YOU BUY BY THE ART.
NO MAN, WOMAN, HIGH PRIESTESS, OR HIGH PRIEST CAN SAY WHAT "HARMS
NONE".
The answer to this is for the Gods, not man. A just action may
well harm someone in some way in the mundane world (every action
has an equal and opposite reaction). It is always best to give
the action and the power to the Goddess, and abide by her will.
If it cannot be given to her after due consideration, then one
must act in the most just form that is possible, freely taking on
to our selves all adverse reaction of an error in judgment.
