Iron Circle
The Iron Circle Warrior's Code Of Chivalry

1. A warrior is bound by chivalry, a high code of HONOR that has it’s pagan roots deeply entrenched in it’s origins. If you expect to follow the "Old Ways" then you are obligated to adhere to them.

2. What you create in this world will no doubt strongly effect other worlds, on other planes, which in turn will return to you. Therefore, a warrior should be of a great consciousness of mind, displaying strict discipline, whenever creating anything on this plane. What you sew, so shall you harvest. Think before acting on any thought, act or deed. Remember, we too are bound by the "Three Fold Law".

3. We must think as if we parallel the thoughts of the Gods, for when we do so, it is only then that we can become part of the "Godhead".

4. Above all… "to thine self be true".

5. A warriors word should be given as if it were a written and witnessed contract. Take no oath lightly, and when you give your word, stand by it as if it were etched in stone. A warrior is only as good as his word.

6. Be painstaking in holding your tongue when speaking of the deeds of others. Especially thy enemy. Speaking poorly of anyone reflects upon the honor of the speaker. Refrain from passing untruths about another. Often gossip and bearing false witness is more damaging to the purveyor than the one being spoken about.

7. Be honest in thought, word and deed. Let all of those you deal with, know that you expect the same from them. A warrior’s word is his bond.

8. A warrior keeps his own good counsel about himself at all times. Especially in times of heated dispute, for only disastrous folly can be the result if a warrior is incapable of coolly standing his ground. It is only the fool who is blinded by his own anger in the heat of battle.

9. A warrior always thinks before he acts. Think through the consequences of your actions before putting them into motion. Thought is much easier to rescind than physical deed. Strive to do harm to none.

10. A warrior is, foremost, a man of peace, that can be incited to violence.

11. The warrior is often seen as a man with diverse views on the world and it’s emotional values. So a warrior, when visiting other factions of the community, should respect the practices of those that he seeks hospitality from. Giving respect to his hosts, no matter how varying their practices may be from his. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

12. A warrior shall always be of good humor, with dignity and a manner displaying grace.

13. A warrior is more powerful than most common men. With the acquisition of wisdom the warrior becomes even more of a formidable advisary. Therefore it is the wise warrior that exercises discretion in the use of his "Divine" gifts.

14. A warrior does not see himself as "Powerful", but instead sees himself as "Empowered". For it is an act of the Gods that has instilled the warrior with his strength, not the machinations of his own.

15. A warrior is the personification of Courage and Honor. These virtues will endure forever. Their echoes will remain long after the seas have gone dry and the mountains have crumbled under their own weight.

16. A warrior pledges his friendship and loyalty to those who have earned it. Warriors freely give their strength to their brothers who are not as strong, and in return become stronger themselves. To keep it, you must give it away.

17. A warrior never reveals the secret work of his clan. Nor shall he reveal the secret work that has been entrusted to him by all others, from other majickal factions. Integrity is one of the most valuable virtues of the warrior.

18. A warrior recognizes the difference between the understanding of "First Borns" and themselves. To these "First Borns" nothing will be said or shown, for they would not understand and would display great resistance to the warrior’s beliefs and moral position.

19. A warrior should, at all times, be above reproach of the eyes of the world. Warriors are judged by a much different code of ethics than those of the common man. "For he that is given much, much shall be expected."

20. A warrior should expect nothing, but prepare for everything.

21. A warrior should follow the "Law of the Land" whenever within reason. These laws were written with much thought and wisdom even though many of the mundane world don’t adhere to them. Remember that you are a warrior and take direction and have to answer to a higher authority than most. All they have is the "Law of the Land." Show them that we of a higher stature, can also obey them. Set an example.

22. A warrior takes pride in himself. Seeking "spiritual" progress rather than perfection. Seek progress daily, in body, mind and spirit. Ask yourself this question regularly… "How can you honor someone else unless you honor yourself first?"

23. A warrior must always remember that he is very special. He has been chosen by the Gods to do their work. Never pass up the opportunity to do the work of the "Divine". We were the first to join the fray, and we will be the last to bury "The Old Ways."

24. A warrior must always remember that because he is special, he should not display an aloof or "self-centered" attitude. A warrior can not be of service to a public that resents his egocentric view of himself. Displaying humbleness is also a very valuable virtue to the true warrior.
