Last modified on August 28, 2025.

By visiting or becoming a member, you agree to these Codes of Conduct. As noted in the policy below, the English language version of the Codes of Conduct will govern your relationship with the First Church of Druwayu ("the Church, this Church, our Church, Church us, our, we"). You can also use an automatic translation tool like Google Translate to view the documents in your language. For the time being, the First Church of Druwayu at https://www.druwayu.com is the only recognized and authorized online Church website at the time of this publication.

BE KIND AND COURTEOUS

Our goal is to create, maintain and preserve a reasonably open and welcoming environment for visitors and members alike. Healthy debates and inquiries presented respectfully and without hostility is a must, however, general kindness is required. We come from all over the world, so not everyone is going to agree or want to see what is outside the descriptions of this culture, tradition and religion.

ALL ARE WELCOMED

This is clear and expected to be applied to everyone. This means any anti-newbie sentiments are not acceptable. It does not matter if you identify or reject the identities of Warlocks and Witches as we define them within our tradition or not. It does not matter if you are of any other religious or non-religious identity or of a different nation or culture. All are expected to welcome and respect one another and their differences and any anti whatever views, especially those outside of Druwayu, are not permitted here. Otherwise please feel free to continue to share what you love. We enjoy seeing what you create and share as members of this Church.

ZERO TOLERANCE FOR HATE SPEECH

Here, we are clear on what is defined as hate speech and will not acknowledge any other claims that are outside of this scope as so defined due to the often vague and misleading claims of "hate speech" used to silence and control speech and engage in unlawful acts of censorship. We define hate speech as anything pertaining to sexist commentary such as degrading or invalidating men or women as an act of discrimination against their biological gender (we reject concepts such as "gender identity" as a justification), 'jokes" or passive aggressive commentary or insults that are intended to belittle, insult and disrespect men, boys, women, girls, a person's sexual orientation as in heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual, against one's skin color, race or ethnicity, or nationality, and we reject such things as "wokism" or other imposed social engineering. Simply put, you are to treat all fellow human beings as equals "full stop."

RESPECT EVERYONE'S PRIVACY

Being part of Druwayu as a Druan and or Warlock or Witch requires a community mind set of complete mutually reliable trust, and that trust includes the respective of others privacy. Authentic and expressive discussions make communities stronger when all are being respectful, however this trust also includes not seeking or sharing private information of or about others without their permission or presumed permission. As such, what may or may not be shared within this community among members or in private confidence shall be kept private and all shall be expected to also maintain the same standards of our privacy policies.

Furthermore, at no point in time shall you or should you seek to submit or solicit any minors (persons under 18 years of age), especially if you intend to secure or coerce minors into providing you personally identifiable information. Furthermore, no aspect of Druwayu should be directed at or towards minors on purpose so as to set them up as "potential converts" into Druwayu and shall be left solely to the discretion of their parents and or legal guardians and no others to educate them about Druwayu. Otherwise, knowingly engaging in any communications with minors that are not your own children or in your legal care is strictly forbidden.

NO SPAMMING WHATSOEVER

Multiple posts, as long as they are different subjects and content, such as in the forum areas is not regarded as spamming. However, repeatedly submitting the same post or comment constantly and overloading the different areas for member communications is not tolerated and recognized as spamming.

To avoid being blocked from communications or potentially being banned as a member, keep posts different, consistent and specific to its particular topic, but do not simply plagiarizer or resubmit something that has already been placed in the forum from someone else. This will not be applied as spamming if you are simply updating and expanding or editing your own posts such as correcting spelling errors. Be mindful.

NO SECONDARY SOLICITATIONS OR UNAUTHORIZED ADS

Members and visitors are strictly prohibited from advertising or promoting any third-party private or public businesses, products, or services without explicit written permission from the Founder or the Drusidu, the governing council of The First Church of Druwayu. This includes posting links, visual content, or notices related to unauthorized promotions. Any attempt to bypass this policy, such as using membership privileges to share such content covertly, is considered a violation.

Violators will face an immediate ban and block from the platform, and their actions will be reported through our network channels to alert other members and visitors. Such violations will also be treated as fraudulent activity. If or when we apply adds of other services that have been approved, this does not automatically grant approval to all others.

DO NOT GIVE OR PROVIDE ANY MEDICAL ADVICE

Regardless if you happen to be an actual medical doctor or other medical professional, you are not authorized to give any medical advice of any kind to members or visitors. You can suggest someone seeks medical attention pending the situation in question and unless you are a recognized clergy member with an accredited therapist license that has been verified do not give any other such recommendations. Any other types of "advice" such as acts of fortune telling should only be considered for entertainment purposes only and not to be taken as medically or scientifically legitimate practices even in regards to such content as traditional medicines.

DO NOT GIVE OR PROVIDE ANY LEGAL ADVICE

Regardless if you happen to be an actual attorney or other legal professional, you are not authorized to give any legal advice of any kind to members or visitors. You can request that your services be offered as a potential future list for members to refer to within your town, state or country that can be verified and proven, however it will also be made clear that we have no authority or control over the quality of such services proved or rendered and that the Church is in no way liable for any dissatisfaction.

Should such be offered, end users will also be allowed to rate such legal service providers and that means paid for listings to support the church and its options for members. Just do not directly solicit or advertise without such permissions granted. If you make a request for consideration and do not respond to our inquiries your request to have nor services listed will be rejected as we require a significant amount of verification of the authenticity of such service providers. We will not accept any services provided from persons outside of the United States of America.

POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS DISCUSSIONS

We do allow healthy and civilized political and religious discussions among members but will not tolerate anyone being attacked, threatened or insulted for holding either popular or unpopular political and or religious views. Admin have the final authority on what is considered reasonable criticism and what is going too far. For example, if comments are presenting supporting facts and others do not like such facts, one's feelings are irrelevant. Personally threatening individuals members new or old is not tolerated. There is no reason to tolerate otherwise uncivilized and hostile arguments or allow the perpetuation of weaponized mainstream media designed to promote propaganda instead of actual facts, and intentionally distort information with the purpose to confuse and turn people against one another and have increasingly perpetuated needless divisions and violence. Remember, they are fully aware that a divided people are a conquered people. We must not allow ourselves to succumb to such insanity.

FINALLY KEEP YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS OFF THE WEBSITE

This does not mean friends, family and relatives are to be restricted if you are already a member. It means this website is not a "town hall or courtroom" for you to complain about, argue with and put your private conflicts "out on blast" for everyone else to see and have to be annoyed by or irritated with. We don't care if you broke up with someone, someone cheated on you, you cheated on someone, or want a divorce. Keep that off the website. If you want to speak with a clergy member who is available for counseling purposes, you can post a request on their personal profile and speak with them privately.

Otherwise, to put it as civil as possible, no one else want's to see it or hear it so grow up, learn some impulse control and get over it. Life is too short to live constantly as a miserable person. No one else deserves to be dragged into your personal misery, and just because you are having a bad day, week or whatever, does not mean you should or will be allowed to impose it on everyone else. If you are still not sure about the limits of this, then follow this simple rule: When in doubt, shut up.
