Proposal for Inclusion for Strippers and Belly Dancers


ETHICAL ADAPTATION OF ANCIENT PERFORMATIVE PRACTICES: STRIPPERS AND BELLY DANCERS
ETHICAL ADAPTATION OF ANCIENT PERFORMATIVE PRACTICES: STRIPPERS AND BELLY DANCERS

Introduction


a handful of individuals wishing to remain anonymous asked if we could find a way to adopt and adapt strippers and belly dancers as part of the Druish philosophy and culture, recognizes that human artistic expression—including dance, sensual movement, and embodied performance—since such things have existed throughout human history as a means of celebration, storytelling, spirituality, and social bonding.


I can certainly understand the reasoning aside from the more obvious enjoyment of seeing attractive women who also enjoy such attention and also enjoy the performance. I can also understand it from the perspective of such things existing across many ancient cultures, where various forms of dance was intertwined with spirituality, ritual, fertility symbolism, and communal gatherings, but also which is often underappreciated, exercise and health.


Modern professions such as stripping and belly dancing can be viewed, in certain contexts, as contemporary expressions of these ancient performative traditions. It's also…

Clergy Workshops and Training Syllabus

TRAINING AND GUIDING CLERGY
TRAINING AND GUIDING CLERGY

Clergy Workshops and Training Syllabus

Druan Warlocks and Witches


Purpose and Scope


The Church of Druwayu has not published a single, classroom-style syllabus for its clergy workshops. However, the Church’s publicly available materials—including its bylaws, code of conduct, learning resources, and ordination policies—clearly establish that workshops and training for Warlocks and Witches are organized around defined core subject areas tied to theology, ethics, and legal responsibility.


This syllabus documents those subject areas as they are evidenced by Church policy and practice. It is intended to demonstrate that Druwayu clergy training is structured, intentional, and consistent with recognized standards for religious instruction and ministerial preparation under the First Amendment and applicable IRS guidance.

Describing the One and Three to Others

UNDERSTANDING THE TRADITION ISN'T THAT COMPLICATED
UNDERSTANDING THE TRADITION ISN'T THAT COMPLICATED

A UNIVERSAL FRAMEWORK OF CREATION


If someone wishes to create a visual representation of the processes expressing these concepts, they are welcome to do so. External criticism is also welcomed not as an opportunity to defend anything as much as to simply share the concepts with others.


In Druan cosmology, creation is articulated through Sacred Geometry, where divine essence manifests as precise structure, motion, and proportion. The Seal of the One and Three, a triangle interwoven with three interlocked rings, represents the eternal interplay between the One God and the Three Goddesses. This geometric formulation is not merely symbolic; it expresses the operational blueprint of reality, connecting the nonphysical and physical realms.


Across cultures and philosophical traditions, this notion of unity expressed through triadic emanations appears repeatedly, however, this tradition is quadrotheistic, not triadic. Triadic concepts fall within contexts such as:


  • The Christian Trinity embodies the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, distinct…

Conical Hat as Religious Attire.

ADOPTED HAT OF OUR DRUISH TRADITION
ADOPTED HAT OF OUR DRUISH TRADITION

This day of 12/18/2025:


Upon request of members here on out website and elsewhere, I was asked to officiate the conical hate design as part of the Druish Identity. After careful considerations I have determined it is a reasonable request and falls within the historical representations that only later was applied solely to Warlocks and Witches head-ware and drew from its true original source known as a Capotain Conical Hat which did not occur till the 19th century, renamed with its modern adaptations as a Druish Conical Hat.


Historical Decline and Druish Adoption


The capotain-style conical hat reached its height of everyday use between c. 1590s–1660s, worn widely across England and Northern Europe by Puritans, Protestants, merchants, and urban professionals. Its tall, flat-topped crown, buckle, and structured form reflected seriousness, discipline, and practicality rather than spectacle.


By the late 17th century, changing fashions—shorter crowns, rounded and tricorn hats, broader brims,…

Reasonable Propaganda: Suggested/Not Required

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO ALL BE SPOOKY
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO ALL BE SPOOKY

This is both serious and based on a sense of humor, and can be applied as a form of propaganda because, well, it is. Propaganda is strategic communication designed to influence public opinion, beliefs, or actions, often by presenting biased, misleading, or emotionally charged information to promote a specific agenda, political cause, or ideology, rather than objective facts, using techniques like selective facts, loaded language, and repetition to bypass rational thought.


Fortunately this Propaganda is not meant to mislead anyone, and the selected facts are not all that selective as much as specific things people often bring up as questions or try to make claims which these things counter directly. And yes, a lot of it is loaded on purpose.


That said;


Converting to a different faith can be intimidating, but when the pros outweigh the cons, it can be totally worth it. You just have to be aware of…

The Forbidden Books the Lefties don't want you Reading!


OPEN YOUR MIND TO BETTER AWARNESS
OPEN YOUR MIND TO BETTER AWARNESS

This is a list of recommended reading I have been informed about. I can say after reading some of them and completing them, taking time to process the information and taking the time to learn terms and expressions I was not familiar with, I can truly see a lot of the warnings playing out and the massive Psi-Ops we're being subjected to globally.


The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind  

Gustave Le Bon, 1895


A foundational manual in crowd psychology, this book outlines how individual reasoning collapses in group settings, making masses impulsive, irrational, and easily manipulated. Le Bon describes how leaders can override logic and implant belief through repetition, symbolism, and emotional appeal. He emphasizes that crowds respond not to facts but to imagery and conviction. The text details how to:


  • Erase individual identity through collective emotion

Core Story Development Questions for Druan Collections

FACTS DON'T HAVE FEELINGS
FACTS DON'T HAVE FEELINGS

These are my top 20 key story writing questions one should ask when writing about specific persons or events that may be included as part of the Druan-specific collections or tops as in other areas of our group pages. Review them for clarity.


The more original the content, the better it will be, and obviously, the more aligned and relatable with all the previous information as the essential foundations of Druwayu, it will make it all that much better.


It does not need to be purged of any humor either. Every culture should have some sense of humor especially about itself, as it helps keep things more respectful and less prone to paranoid exaggerations, fears, and excuses. Also, if you dont see a topic category, create one.


  • Who or what is it about?

  • Where do they or does it come from?
