I know many people within the Order are doing their will, staying within, and doing the things that they feel need to be done to shift ignorance, intolerance, and blatant hypocrisy as they Will. I am proud of them. You have a lever. It is your voice. Use it, in the ways you see fit, to fulfill your obligations, to be the fellow soldier.
I was suspended from the OTO for treason. "Perfidy" was the word they used, but it's basically treason. Because I publicly attacked a decision made by a governmental body within the OTO, and made some "vague threats." (I said They. Will. Pay. in a comment on FB, indicating this shit will not stand, and there will be ramifications, such as this post.)
I love many members of the Electoral College (EC), and would never harm them. I have super strong ties to the things I said in dark rooms. I actually meant them. I really believe people are doing their best, but shit man.
There's some bullshit going on.
Within 48 hours of standing up against what I considered an ignorant and uninformed decision made by the EC, I was told slanderous things by one of my oldest friends about the "situation" in William Blake Lodge (WBL). A dear friend and muse and inspiration was accused of using WBL as a "hunting ground," and the body master "covered for her" because within their poly relationships, the body master's primary partner was necessary to "pay the bills." No evidence, no proof, nothing but judgmental accusations and justifications. And it was false.
Slut shaming? In a sex-positive solar phallic sex cult?
I was told things happened at the ritual that resulted in the EC's decision that were false, and when I asked the accuser to verify the accusations, I was rebuked for talking about things that were spoken of between us with people involved in the actual situation. Silence. Secrets. Darkness.
Meanwhile, none of this was mentioned in any of the proceedings.
Shadow network. Whisper campaigns. Lies, and fucking motherfucking slander.
I let my sister know she was being slandered. I let her know who was slandering her. Like in the agreement we made, you shit heel motherfuckers playing bullshit games in the darkness. Lovers, Hermits, you took the MOE oaths, and you aren't holding to them. You are fucking failing the camp.
So now it's gender shit. People are slandering my sibling Richard Davis, to the point they've had to make the post below in their defense.
It's like there's a vendetta against WBL at this point.
Consider this. People are talking shit behind their back. Accusations without merit. Whispers in the darkness.
Oathbreaking oathbreakers break oaths.
That's not hyperbole, or sensationalism. That's what we do to one another. Yea, I get we're all works in progress.
But we can fucking do better.
Or ... not. It's honestly and sincerely up to you, and the choices you make.
Here's the post Richard Davis made to defend himself from the lies and slander that are being spread about him.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I've been seeing some misinformation shared, that for the past 2 years, I knowingly was "violating" E.G.C. policy, and breaking the rules by serving in public Masses as a Priestess.
That is false.
When I was ordained a Deacon, I explained to my Bishop I am Angrogyne (a non-binary identity, not exclusively male or female, but equally both male and female).
Like anyone else, it was my Will to next pursue ordination as a Novice to the Priesthood.
I was instructed to study the 2004 E.G.C. Manual which states:
"(vii) The role of Priest shall be filled by a man, and the role of Priestess shall be filled by a woman. For purposes of this document, transgendered and partially transgendered individuals shall be considered to be of the gender with which they most closely identify." - p.12, EGC Manual, Aug. 15, 2004 e.v.
I do not have a "gender with which I most closely identify" ... my gender is equally both. I wanted to serve as both, but that option was not available to me.
I was aware that there were already other non-binary clergy pursuing ordination as Priests, so I asked my Bishop's permission to pursue ordination as a Priestess. This meant I could only serve in public Masses as a Priestess, but could still serve in equally recognized private Masses as a Priest. So my Will found a way, and the E.G.C. policy allowed for it.
I have been very open, transparent, and proud about this since the time I was given permission to do it. I have not hidden it from anyone, and I have not violated any policies. So I'd like to ask that people just now learning about my service, please stop accusing me of that.
It was no secret to the U.S. Grand Lodge E.G.C. Secretary, who has served in a public Mass as a Priest with me as a Priestess, so I can assure you there is no dishonesty, deception, or confusion about the reporting of Masses I've served in.
It was no secret to several S.G.I.G.s/Bishops when we openly discussed my service as a novice Priestess at the Advanced Initiation Training (A.I.T.) I attended in December 2018.
It was no secret at NOTOCON when my E.G.C. service as a novice Priestess was openly discussed, sitting right next to Sabazius, as a panelist on the O.T.O. Diversity and Inclusion Panel.
I have nothing to hide, I am proud of my E.G.C. service, and will continue to abide by the E.G.C. policies, under the direction of my Bishop, and with the permission of the Primate, no matter how the policies may change when the new E.G.C. Manual is released.
Apparently we are to believe, by some, that Masses like the ones I serve in need to be "hidden" and are only ok if done behind closed doors for "initiates only," where they are still recorded and equally recognized as official celebrations of Liber XV by the E.G.C., just not suitable for the public.
Regardless of what decisions are made when the new E.G.C. Manual is released to clarify the new powers of the Deacon-Sacerdote office as an equal officer within the Priesthood, I just wanted to clear my name, and the names of my non-binary, gender-fluid, gender non-conforming, and androgyne Siblings, who are now being accused of "knowingly violating a policy that flies in the face of common sense," when in reality, we were all just told to "pick one and stick with it," and that is what we did.
You can't go back and say "nothing has changed, they were all just knowingly breaking the policy by not using common sense." That is not fair to any of us who were adhering to the policies of the O.T.O./E.G.C. as we had been told we could.
Thank you again for your love, support, and consideration of the points above.
I do not wish to fuel any fires or debates with this post, just to clear up some misinformation that I'd seen going around lately about Novice clergy like myself.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there. 💖
Love is the law, love under will.
