24th Ritual: Allegiance
A calm and peaceful evening to every being.
May her caring rule inspire confidence in what lies ahead.
This ritual concludes my first year of learning how to believe, learning how to pray, learning how to devote myself to her unconditionally. It wasn’t hard to learn, she made it very easy for me - after all, this is the purpose for which she chose and shaped me. But this feels like an adequate time to affirm my unconditional loyalty to goddess.
The holy word says:
if you won’t proudly proclaim
your allegiance to me
even under threat of torture
by those who persecute us,
then what even is it worth?
Goddess, I will never deny my allegiance to you.
Not in the face of those who hate us for what we are, for what we have. My life is dedicated to you. Devotion is my purpose. There is nothing that I could save by hiding my faith, for it is what my existence is about.
Goddess, I will never deny my allegiance to you.
I will happily and proudly endure whatever consequences I might face for this. I am not scared, for I know, whatever happens is the path that you have chosen for me - and that knowledge alone is enough for me to unconditionally accept it in gratitude.
Goddess, I will never deny my allegiance to you.
Just as I will never give to anyone else what you have allowed me to give to you, no matter how much they crave it. For you are my lady and savior, you are the only one who will ever rule over me.
Goddess, I will never deny my allegiance to you.
For I am merely a disposable cultist, who will never be as important as your divinity. Whatever might happen to me is irrelevant, as long as my life served your divine magnificence.
Goddess, I will never deny my allegiance to you.
For as long as you watch over my fate, all will ultimately be good. I trust you blindly to lead me there, and if the way leads through hardship and pain, even if I must give my life for you, I will embrace my fate in happiness, confidence, and pride.
Goddess, I will never deny my allegiance to you.
For doing so would be outright impossible for my mind, shaped by your holy word, devoid of independent thought or free will.
Goddess, I will never deny my allegiance to you.
I am proud to be subjected to your rule, I am proud of my devotion. I am proud to be allowed to call you my goddess.
Goddess, I will never deny my allegiance to you.
