flase:
>> ...to break an oath, one has to actually give their word. 
>> Lorax is no warlock....

thanks, flase, that was very kind of you to defend me like that. :>
I've only had occasional run-ins with initiators concerned that
I might be breaking my oaths. they didn't bother me much, though
I was sometimes surprised by the behaviour of the initiator!

Dancerbunny:
> He claims to be initiated into Wicca, that both of them are.  

wow, it was so kaotik I'm not sure if it was Wiccan. 
is there a standard? did it have to be part of a 
longstanding initiatic line, like Gardnerian Clutterbuck?

> That involves taking an oath.  

hmm, my oath went like this

		I was a duck
		Now I'm a swan
		Feet of clay
		I play all day
		Until the sun is gone

		I kome to k@s kuvin'
		With a gluestick in my hand
		So patch me in
		And be my kin
		I think I understand
		
> Judging solely on their actions, here online alone, 
> they have broken that oath.

dunno about that. I mean, I had the gluestick right there. 
I don't remember anything about never revealing this oath,
but this is the first time it's ever been revealed (for you). 
there WAS AN EGG broken immediately after my oath.  

maybe *that*'s what you're picking up, Dancerbunny.
you've already proven yourself capable of tremendous
and astounding sight (like when you predicted the 
commencement of my instruction, right here in ARW!).

> Of course that doesn't account for Nagashiva's 
> tendency to change Traditions more often than 
> he changes clothes.

damn! that's not very hard. I try to minimize the
wash of uniform (black fatigues) and have worn 
the same pair of pants for the last 3 years or so.
yeah, occasionally they get washed, and I have 
some work jeans for wear during those time, but
I'm in uniform pretty much 24/7. CoE can be rough.

so changing every 3 years? not sure I was ever
really part of a tradition. I'm more a solitary
where Wicca is concerned these days, 
not having exactly converted sri catyananda, 
really. she's Fluffy from way back, tho. ;>

all the same, thanks for thinking of me, and blessed be!

"Well I drove down to Big D.C.
 And I walked into Room 1003
 And there they were
 The Big Boys.
 And they were talking
 Big B
 Little O
 Little M
 Silent B
 They were saying:
 Let's teach those robots how to play hardball.
 Let's teach those little fellas a little gratitude.

 Hey!
 What's that big noise from the sky?
 Sounds like thunder
 Nope.
 Sounds like the Fourth of July --
 Nope...Wrong again.
 You know? It's just those angels walking
 They're clomping around again
 Wearing those big clumsy shoes
 We got for them.
 
 Well deep
 In the heart
 Of darkest America
 Home of the Brave
 
 Well HA
      HA
      HA
 You've already paid
 For this
 Listen to my heart
 Beat."

 did we already pay for this? :>
 were the angels, WB, or those shoes responsible?

 I'll bet it had something to do with copyrights.
