THE DRIKEYU AND CONCEPTS
 

Drikeyu, or “Three Keys,” articulates the foundational cosmological principles of Druwayu, expressed through the interrelated concepts of Worloga, Wyrda, and Wihas. Worloga represents the fixed, primal laws of the universe, providing structure and stability and corresponding to what some may describe as fate or destiny. Wyrda embodies dynamic free will and the interdependent possibilities of action, though it is always limited by the freedom of other entities. Wihas signifies the ultimate, uncaused essence that cannot be created or destroyed. While Wihas is constant, it remains inert without the guiding influence of Worloga and the shaping, transformative power of Wyrda. Together, these principles reconcile past, present, and future, independent of conscious awareness. The following outlines their definitions, etymologies, and philosophical implications to correct common misconceptions.

​

Etymology

​

Drikeyu derives from Old Germanic Dri/Dre (“three”) and Keyu/Cǣga (“keys”), signifying “Three Keys” that unlock the cosmos.

​

• Worloga (Wor/Vor/Fora/Fara + Loga/Lagu/Laga): Primal Laws, akin to Old Norse Örlög and Latin Lexi (laws).

• Wyrda (Wyrd, variants Wyrkh/Werg/Weorch): Work or action, emphasizing causality rather than predetermined fate; comparable to Old Norse Yrkja and Urðr.

• Wihas (Wihta/Wihaz/Weihs; Latin Vitae): Life and essence, encompassing all living and spiritual energy; akin to Old Norse Vé/Vi.

 

The Three Keys

​

Worloga – Primal Laws

​

Worloga embodies the immutable, eternal structures of the cosmos, manifested mathematically and geometrically. These laws exist independently of human influence and provide the guiding framework within which reality unfolds. Observed indirectly through natural patterns—planetary orbits, DNA, physical laws—Worloga underscores a universal intelligence. Ethical and practical alignment with these principles encourages harmony in individual and collective life.

​

Wyrda – Reciprocal Dynamics

​

Wyrda represents the dynamic, causal processes that shape change, interconnection, and evolution. Fluid and adaptable, it governs the consequences of actions, social interactions, and ecological systems. Every act generates ripples within the web of interdependence. Wyrda emphasizes accountability and agency, illustrating that personal and collective decisions carry real-world effects, while always operating within the constraints of Worloga.

​

Wihas – Eternal Essence

​

Wihas is the eternal, indestructible essence permeating all existence, connecting the physical and spiritual realms. It is the source and destination of life and energy. Impersonal and neutral, Wihas requires the structure of Worloga and the dynamics of Wyrda to manifest in the world. Contemplation of Wihas fosters unity, respect for life, and the understanding of interconnectedness.

​

Foundation and Interdependence

​

Worloga provides structure, Wyrda enables formation, and Wihas supplies the essence of being. These principles are transcendent, imminent, omnipresent, and omnipotent, pre-dating all creation. Each depends upon the others:

​

• Without Wihas, no essence or life exists.

• Without Wyrda, Wihas remains unexpressed.

• Without Worloga, Wyrda lacks direction and cannot effectively shape Wihas.

 

Proper contemplation reveals that engaging with one principle inevitably illuminates the other two, yielding profound personal and spiritual insight. These realizations can guide ethical conduct, personal growth, and understanding of cosmic order.

​

Philosophical, Ethical, and Scientific Implications

​

• Worloga: Establishes universal laws and patterns foundational to culture, tradition, and civilization. It is unchanging and preexistent.

• Wyrda: Guides the consequences of actions and evolution, emphasizing accountability and ethical alignment. Individual agency operates within the web of interdependence.

• Wihas: Represents shared essence and universal unity, promoting stewardship of life and balanced autonomy.

 

The Drikeyu framework harmonizes scientific and spiritual perspectives:

 

• Worloga aligns with immutable physical laws;

• Wyrda reflects causal and ecological dynamics;

• Wihas parallels energy, consciousness, and life itself.

 

Philosophically, these principles encourage a compassionate, balanced ethics, avoiding extremes while fostering trust, respect, and earned social cohesion.

​

Cultural Pillars and Foundations

​

Druwayu emphasizes:

​

1. Preserving Knowledge: Sharing teachings to strengthen tradition.

2. Living the Tradition: Applying Drikeyu principles in daily life and development of proper ethics.

3. Recognizing Authority: Honoring the divine, the Drikeyu, and ethical guidance.

 

These pillars rest upon three foundational virtues: Trustworthiness, Helpfulness, and Selflessness, analogous to Faith, Hope, and Love.

​

Linguistic Genders

​

• Worloga: Masculine 

• Wyrda: Feminine

• Wihas: Neutral

 

Debate: Some see symbolic meaning in these assignments; others view them as irrelevant. Druans recognize and emphasize their interdependence over ideological assumptions.

​

Theological Connections

 

• Worloga: Linked to divine order, the universal God, historically represented by Warlocks as his earthly counterparts.

• Wyrda: Associated with three Goddesses as demiurges, historically represented by Witches as their earthly counterparts.

• Wihas: Represents the universal essence, connecting physical and spiritual realms, historically represented by and expressed through Wights as both the living essence of a being and the living essence and mind of a being beyond the earthly bounds (ghosts/spirits).

​

These assignments are symbolic; Druans prioritize interdependence over gender ideology.

​

Contemplation and Practice

​

Proper contemplation reveals the interdependence of the Drikeyu:

​

• Wihas empowers Worloga to manifest through Wyrda.

• Wyrda shapes Wihas according to Worloga’s patterns.

• Worloga provides the directive for Wyrda and, in turn, the expression of Wihas.

 

Warning: Meditation and reflection should be conducted thoughtfully, avoiding mental strain. Insights emerge gradually, fostering awareness of cosmic, personal, and ethical interconnections.

 

The Drikeyu clarifies misconceptions about fate, destiny, and karma: both fate (Worloga) and free will (Wyrda) coexist, shaping existence within the broader framework of history (Wihas). 

​

Integration with Historical Sources

​

• Worloga and Örlög: Rooted in Norse mythology, representing primal, immutable laws rather than deterministic fate.

• Wyrda and Wyrd/Urðr: Reflect cause and effect in Anglo-Saxon culture; action-based rather than predetermined destiny.

• Wihas and Wights/Vae/Vé: Emphasize life, essence, and sanctity; Wihas connects all forms of existence.

 

Symbols such as the triskelion or a ceremonial “Drikeyu Hammer” express these principles visually, integrating Worloga, Wyrda, and Wihas into tangible forms for ritual or symbolic expression and times of deeper reflection or contemplation (or as some might say, something to meditate upon and be inspired by).

​

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:

​

From the standpoint of logic and plausibility, the concepts of the Drikeyu are internally coherent, philosophically defensible, and broadly plausible when evaluated as a metaphysical framework compatible with testable scientific models. Their strength lies in structural logic, explanatory scope, and compatibility with multiple disciplines.

​

Logical Standing

​

1. Internal Consistency

The Drikeyu forms a logically closed system. Each principle has a clearly defined role, and none can function independently:

​

• Worloga supplies invariant structure (law, pattern, constraint).

• Wyrda supplies process and causality (action, interaction, change).

• Wihas supplies ontological substance (existence, energy, being).

 

This avoids contradiction because:

​

• Law without substance cannot manifest.

• Substance without process remains inert.

• Process without law becomes incoherent.

 

This triadic dependency mirrors well-established logical models (e.g., structure–process–substance), making the system internally sound.

​

2. Non-Circular but Interdependent Reasoning

Although the principles depend on one another, the system is not circular in a fallacious sense. Each principle answers a different logical question:

​

• What constrains reality? → Worloga

• What causes change? → Wyrda

• What exists to be changed? → Wihas

 

This is a complementary relationship, not a self-referential loop.

​

Plausibility

​

1. Philosophical Plausibility

The Drikeyu aligns with long-standing philosophical traditions:

​

• Worloga parallels natural law theory, mathematical realism, and structural realism.

• Wyrda aligns with causality, process philosophy, and compatibilist free will.

• Wihas resembles substance ontology, Spinozan monism, and energy-based metaphysics.

 

None of these claims require supernatural assumptions beyond those already accepted in classical metaphysics.

​

2. Scientific Compatibility (Not Competition)

The Drikeyu does not attempt to replace science; it interprets scientific findings philosophically:

​

• Physics already assumes immutable laws (Worloga).

• Biology and systems theory rely on dynamic causality (Wyrda).

• Conservation principles imply an underlying, indestructible “something” (Wihas).

 

Thus, the framework is plausible as a meta-explanatory model, not an empirical theory.

​

3. Psychological and Ethical Plausibility

Human experience supports the model:

​

• People experience constraints they cannot change (Worloga).

• They experience consequences of actions (Wyrda).

• They intuitively recognize a shared essence of life and continuity (Wihas).

 

Ethically, the model avoids extremes:

​

• It rejects fatalism (because Wyrda exists).

• It rejects absolute free will (because Worloga constrains).

• It rejects nihilism (because Wihas affirms intrinsic existence).

 

Logical Strengths

​

• Avoids deterministic fatalism without denying structure.

• Avoids relativism without imposing dogma.

• Explains order, change, and continuity without contradiction.

• Integrates ancient insights with modern reasoning.

• Resistant to oversimplification (unlike “fate,” “karma,” or purely mechanistic views).

 

Logical Limitations (Acknowledged, Not Fatal)

​

• The Drikeyu is not falsifiable, which places it outside strict scientific testing.

• It relies on conceptual coherence and explanatory power, not measurement.

• Its validity depends on philosophical reasoning, not proof.

 

These are standard limitations of all metaphysical systems and do not undermine plausibility.

​

Bottom Line

​

• Logically, the Drikeyu is coherent, non-contradictory, and well-structured.

• Philosophically, it aligns with respected metaphysical traditions.

• Plausibly, it offers a realistic way to reconcile law, causality, and existence without denying human experience or scientific knowledge.

​

In short:

The Drikeyu stands as a logically sound and plausibly grounded metaphysical framework, credible to philosophers, compatible with science, and meaningful in ethical and experiential terms—without requiring blind belief or mystical exaggeration.
