I swear by all I hold
dear and in keeping with my ability and judgment,
I will keep this Oath and this stipulation. I
will embrace a system, widely considered safe,
sane and consensual for the benefit of My
submissives/ slaves/clients. I will abstain from
whatever is permanently and irreparably damaging
or harmful to those submissives and others under
My care and guidance.
I further avow I shall
never resort to the abuse of the trust placed in
Me in the practice My Art. I will not seek to
undermine that trust through the disreputable
practice of offering objects of worship for sale
that have not been personally worn by Me. I will
not represent Myself as being anyone other than
who I am.
I shall ensure that,
prior to his session, the submissive fully
understands the definition of safewords and how I
choose to have them implemented in a session. I
will honor his right to use them and never
denigrate him if he chooses to utilize them. I
shall respect the limits of My submissives,
although, as is My right and obligation, I will
push to expand those limits.
I will not allow a
submissive in My care to perform tasks or
experience disciplines that greatly exceed his
training, even if this runs counter to his
desires. I recognize the fact that jeopardizing
his life, health, safety or privacy is not within
the parameters of My control and power over him.
I shall neither
conduct nor participate in any session while
under the influence of either drugs or alcohol,
nor will I allow any submissive or client of Mine
to participate in a session under My guidance
while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. I
accept the responsibility for the life of My
submissive/slave/client during his time spent in
session with Me.
Further, I shall not
divulge the personal identities of either My
clientele or My Sisters, unless it is Their
explicit desire that such information to be made
public and then only with their permission to do
so. Nor will I discuss readily identifiable
physical or mental characteristics of My
clientele with anyone without the express consent
and permission of those involved.
More so, I will
abstain from vitriolic attacks on My Sisters.
Should an problem be brought to My attention
concerning a Sister or Sisters, I will, in good
conscience, privately contact the individual in
question, and request clarification of the
issue(s). Should the response to My concerns seem
improper or unsatisfactory, I will call on two
other Sisters to contact the "individual in
question," again raising the concerns. In
the event three of Us cannot resolve the issues,
action, in whatever form, will be requested from
Our Organization (whatever that may be).
While I continue to
keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to
Me to enjoy life and the practice of My Art,
respected by My Peers and all men, at all times.
But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may
the reverse be My lot.
