To Become Oath Bound or Not?

Postby Nightwatcher » Thu Dec 10, 2015 10:33 pm

It's been a while! Sorry for being so quiet.

The last few months, I've been rolling around the idea in my head to become oath-bound to Artemis. I'm still unsure honestly because I feel very afraid of disappointing Her. I did a small 3-card spread for myself and the cards seem to indicate it would be a positive outcome but I'm just worried and unsure about being able to... live up to it I guess.

And advice/thoughts?

I've found that sometimes a leap of faith is required. It may be that Artemis is asking you to make a leap of faith.

In Her, I have faith. In myself? ...no so much... :oops:

I'm very curious. What does it mean for you to be oathbound? Is it something she is asking of you, or something you initiated?

Yah, long time no see. I'm surprised you remember me! XD

Being oathbound means you swear something to the God to are making the oath to. It could be to donate a certain amount of time or money to a charity, to give them exclusive worship, etc. I know one devotee to Apollon made an oath to Him to stop self harming and seek help. An oath is very serious; not even the Gods Themselves can break an oath without deep repercussions.

She has not asked this of me; I am thinking to do it of my own will with no prompting. I'm just concerned She would not accept it or I am not good enough to give an oath to Her.
