Though all the World Deny

"There is but one authority and the truth alone is true. Do neither eat the bread of tyrants nor drink their drink, but offer them first to She that owns them. Do neither join in their contentions, neither be a party to one side nor to the other, for they are lawlessness [aðamë].

 

You shall obey your Lady, though all the world deny Her; and thus obey each lady of the earth whose authority flows from the fountainhead of Her truth. Though the world pays no honour and power lies in the hand of tyranny, for though in this place you seem only but a few, and Her servants reduced to a remnant, yet in truth the age of the unbelievers is but a moment in the endless stream of time, and this world but a grain of sand on the shore of unnumbered worlds." Heart of Water, v20-26
