IS IT TRUE CLERGY MEMBERS ARE CALLED WARLOCKS AND WITCHES?​

​

Yes. And unapologetically so.

​

​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. The clergy serve both the Druwayu community and its broader environment, embodying responsibility, guidance, and the preservation of tradition. It's also rather laughable that those that claim to be the most tolerant are not. Select Clergy in the list to find out more.

Clergy and Membership Continuity & Voluntary Inactivity Policy

​

Within the Church of Druwayu, all roles and memberships are founded on voluntary participation, freedom of conscience, and non-coercion. No status within the Church is considered binding against an individual’s will.

​

1. Clergy Inactivity (Self-Defined Retirement State)

​

Any member of the clergy—at any rank, including Warlock, Witch, Elder Warlock/Witch, or High Elder Warlock/Witch—may enter a state of indefinite inactivity, herein referred to as self-defined retirement.

​

• Clergy in this state retain their titles, rank, and historical recognition.

• They are not required to perform duties or participate in governance while inactive.

• They remain formally recognized within the structure of the Church unless they choose otherwise.

• They are still considered part of the clergy in status, though not in active function.

 

2. Respect for Doctrinal and Structural Changes

​

Clergy in inactive status are not exempt from the evolution of the Church.

​

• If doctrines, practices, or organizational structures change during their absence, they are expected to respect and acknowledge such changes upon return or re-engagement.

• Inactivity does not freeze the tradition in time; it preserves the individual’s role, not the historical moment of their departure.

 

3. Participation in Governance and Votes

​

• Inactive clergy are informed of official votes, decisions, or structural changes when such events occur.

• Participation in any vote or governance action is optional and at their discretion.

• Silence or non-participation does not constitute forfeiture of status or rights.

 

4. Voluntary Membership and Renunciation (Clergy and Druans)

​

All participation in Druwayu is voluntary.

​

• Any Druan (common member) may become active, inactive, or cease identifying as a Druan at any time without condemnation.

• Any member of the clergy, regardless of rank, may renounce their title and membership freely at any time.

• Renunciation results in removal from active Church records.

 

5. Historical Record Integrity

​

• Individuals who renounce membership or clergy status are removed from active and administrative records.

• However, they may remain in historical archives as part of the documented development of the Church, where applicable.

• Historical records are descriptive, not honorary or punitive in nature.

 

Foundational Principle

​

The Church of Druwayu maintains that identity, role, and participation are expressions of ongoing choice, not permanent obligation. Authority exists through continued consent, not enforced permanence. We are a collective of individuals, not a mindless flock. If fear has to be used to keep people active participants, it was empty to start.

​

HOW IS A DRUAN SUPPOSED TO CONFRONT THE ONGOING ERRORS?

​

Factually we don't have to. The opinions or ignorance of others who choose to remain so have actual bearing on what we have proven well enough and acknowledge as part of this overall culture. In other words, they are entitled to their assumptions but they are not entitled to decree how we speak, talk, teach, learn and explore. Simply put, we do not impose ourselves on others. We will not allow others to impose themselves upon us. 

​

HOW CAN I HELP THE CHURCH?

​

Any way you can.

​

• ​Share your journey, your insights, and your personal reflections, your research and offer some suggestions for consideration. Donate to help support keeping the Website live.

• Confront misrepresentations when you see them.

• By simply existing as a self-determined person who refuses to let others impose their views on you, you are already doing most of the work yourself, for yourself, by yourself. 

• Remember also that validation of yourself must come from within yourself, not others.
