CLERGY AND TITLES

​

In the spiritual tradition of Druwayu, Warlock (male) and Witch (female) are titles for clergy members. Despite the gender-specific titles, their duties are identical, reflecting equality and unity in spiritual leadership. These clergy serve both the Druwayu community and its broader environment, embodying responsibility, guidance, and the preservation of tradition.

​

Shared Duties of Warlocks and Witches

​

• Leading Rituals: Conduct seasonal celebrations and life milestones (IE. weddings).

• Teaching Knowledge: Preserve and share Druwayu’s teachings through guidance, stories, and instruction.

• Protecting Sacred Spaces: Maintain and bless sacred sites to support spiritual practices.

• Promoting Harmony: Facilitate healing and rituals to sustain community and spiritual balance.

• Supporting Community: Offer guidance, organize collective efforts, and foster ecological stewardship.

​​

Equality in Roles

​

The titles Warlock and Witch denote the same clergy role. Both may perform identical functions—leading rituals, teaching, or protecting sacred spaces—differing only in title based on gender. This equality embodies Druwayu’s commitment to balanced spiritual leadership.

​

Historical Context

​

Warlocks and Witches have often been described as possessing strong intuitive or spiritual abilities. Historically, their service prioritized the community rather than personal power. Overemphasis on dealings with spiritual entities and stereotypes of “witchcraft trials” has distorted this reality.

​

The First Church of Druwayu (FCD)

​

The FCD maintains a structured clergy system, emphasizing community engagement, spiritual mission, and gender equality. Gender equality here does not imply gender bending or blurring; it reflects equal authority and responsibilities.
