The virtues of our faith
Family: The connection we share as family is irreplaceable. We are but threads that weave together and create the web that will forever symbolize a bond that goes beyond blood and DNA. It is the sharing of mind and spirits that bond us together as family and we carry that responsibility seriously.
Honesty: Without honesty we cannot build trust. Without trust we cannot build foundation. Without foundation we have nothing, for everything build will eventually fall. This family is built on honest, trust and truth, therefore our foundation will remain solid throughout the adversity of life.
Integrity: We live our lives with a moral and ethical code. We carry integrity by understanding and living by our values within our families and the universe.
Devotion: Devotion is an important part of the commitment we make to our families, this path and god/goddess/universal spirit.
Responsibility & Karma: We are responsible for our actions and the effects of our actions on others. We understand the laws of Karma and how they apply to us as individuals and a family.
Respect: We must respect each other and each living being for we are all children of the Gods. We all deserve respect and that is unconditional, just as love is unconditional.
Tolerance: Exercising tolerance can make the difference between living as a spiritual person or an aggressive person. We must practice tolerance with each other and with others. There will always be someone different or that doesn’t understand as we think they should. We must remember why we are here and why we do what we do.
Patience: Respecting that everyone grows at a different pace. Respecting that life does not happen on our terms and we must have patience for life to unfold sometimes.
Community: We have a responsibility to our community as a family and our community at large. We are here to learn and to teach. We believe in community awareness and community work. We must use our power to teach and heal the community or else we will not have a community to live or raise our children in years to come.
Harm none: We respect and follow the guidelines of the rede that say we harm no one in order to live or worship. We remain mindful of the responsibility of being a part the bigger picture that creates life, family and community, therefore we accept that we are responsible to work with purest of intention and heart. This doesn’t just apply to those outside of the family but with our communities and with ourselves.
Humility: We strive to stay humble in all our workings in the world. We understand our place in our families; the world and the universe while remaining humble enough to work towards change, light and love.
As Above, So below: We are connected to everything and everything is connected to us. We are all the creations of the Gods and we have a respect for everything made of the divine.
Unconditional love: Unconditional love is true love. We learn to love ourselves, our family and each other for who we are and who we may become. But our love should be unconditionally given to the human spirit in all. This does not mean we allow toxic people or things in our lives but it does mean that we can separate the two and still love unconditionally while protecting ourselves and family.
