A Few Matters Needed Tending: Tuek, New Celest

Greetings and many blessings Basin,
Rarely do I enjoy writing a public post, as most often I just desire to
either be sanctifying a new shrine to my Father, Lord Lacostian, or
healing the sick, tending to the wounded, feeding the hungry, and
consoling the dying. However, here I am and writing away as fast as I
can, so I may return to duties that are already pressing forward and
demanding time.
I am a rogue. This means I belong to no governmental organization, city
state, nor forestal commune. This means that I do not and will not take
part in any thing that doesn't directly affect me or my Father's order,
the Mysterial Order. Earlier today, Tuek of the Moondancers contacted
me, abominably tactful as usual, demanding to know why there were New
Celest citizens using the spores from mushroom circles located in front
of the Mysterial Temple.
I am going to ask that you, New Celest, and her citizens not use the
mushroom circles that I call forth for either warring nor battling.
These are meant for the Mysterial Order congregation and the Mysterial
Order congregation only. If a faithful of my Father finds anyone using
spores that are from my mushroom circle, you will be enemied to the
Mysterial Order without questions. All's I ask is that you grant us
kindness and respect. We use these spores to come and go from the
Mysterial Temple, where many of us pray and meditate upon the mysteries
and enlightenment.
And as for you, Tuek. I will recall what you messaged to my spirit this
eve.
"Who spoke of lore? You still practise Moon and Wicca, while residing in
a filthy city and no longer a part of the Coven. You stole our practises
and rituals and took them outside of the Coven. You summon fae spirits
unwillingly. I will commune with Mother Moon herself and ask her to
strip you of your ability to use the arts of Moon as well."
Again, I am a rogue. Meaning, I do not belong to any social entity or
political organization; meaning I do not serve, as most of you you have
put it, the "Light", the "Green", the "Wyrd", or the "Taint"; meaning I
desire nothing to do with the squabbles of those centered around greed,
desire, prejudice, hatred, or murder.
As for "stealing" your practices and rituals, you made sure that I was
was cast out from both Serenwilde and the Moondancers 50 years ago when
the Moondancer Coven demanded that either I choose them or my own
children. As you remember, I chose my children, as any good mother
would. My children were and are my world.
As for your rituals, I've forgotten them long, long ago. Mother Moon and
I have a bit of a more intimate relationship, one where I am simply a
healer and tend to those who need healing, no matter who they are or
where they hail from. A healer's life should be dedicated to preserving
and nurturing life wherever there is pain, suffering, or ailment. As for
my fae, they come and go as they desire. They often times find
themselves gathering about newly arrived novices and tending to their
wounds and their pains, as they venture forth into a brand new world.
Now tell me, Tuek. I've talked to Mother Moon myself, and she seemed
more than happy to know that the fae I call forth are simply helping
novices and aiding the sick. Perhaps you know another side of her that I
have not met.
And as a side note, the Mysterial Order is always opened to those who
seek a moment of peace, a day of meditation, or those with questions. If
you have any questions about the Father, Lord Lacostian, you can contact
Barrin, Vesar, or any other of the Mysterial Order members.
Many blessings to all of you,
The Oracle
