I have been asked to post the text of my oath that I made at Samhain before my grove mates, the kindred and the folk about the timeline IP completion. The text is as follows:
Three years ago this night I swore to live by the virtues given by tradition, to strive to live will and do good. To keep the feasts and observances of the Druid way, keeping the wheel of the year. To seek the truth of the elder ways, and to learn the lore and meaning of our ancestors wisdom. Tonight I come before the Kindred and folk once more as I continue to do that. If I am accepted, and when I am accepted as I will reapply, into the initiate program I swear to complete the book work within 1 year. If I fail I will not attend any festivals the next year, and may the three worlds rise against me. To my Kindred allies!!! (offering given)
As per the discussion during the challenging of this oath I will also not attend grove camping events although showing up for rit is allowed. So, since my acceptance came through 2 days after this oath, I have until October 31, 2012 to do the bookwork of the Initiate Path or Wellspring 2013, Three Rivers 2013, Chenille Fall gathering 2013, and all grove camping events in 2013 will be out of the question. For those who wish to know my schedule of, as Cáer lovingly put it, self torture, I have included that as well
