Ethics, Fairness, and Responsibility to Others on the Draconian Path

So I just received my copy of the Draconian Ritual Book, and I’m really excited!
The the layout, approach, and depth of content is exactly what I’ve been looking for! So thank for writing it!

I’m somewhat hung up on the notion of

  1. “getting my life together financially” before undertaking a disciplined approach to the work. Verses

  2. “figuring out a new home and new job” along the path, as it’s unfolding.

My life (let alone the last few years- my Awakening) has been pretty unorthodox when it comes to paying the bills and supporting myself.
Although now, with my Magick/ spiritual awareness this is at least “making sense.”

So as I’m starting the new year I’m wondering do I…

A) secure a mundane income/ physical world life; separate from (though accommodating to) my spiritual path? Or

B) Expect my new life/ lifestyle to flow out of the work I devote myself to on this path? Income, home, and all?

As it stands, my current circumstances are not ideal for the work and devotion this path demands-

Although my willingness to leave everything behind and start fresh does open up my future for new opportunities.

So is it possible (or advisable) to figure out what the following weeks and months will look like (home/ work wise) WHILE opening oneself to these energies?

Is there a countervailing/ reconstructive/ harmonizing energy in the Draconian path, that follows the Chaos of breaking old habits and routines?

Or is a strong, stable, financial/home life an expected prerequisite to the further tumultuousness of this path?

I think I’m getting a little frustrated of how difficult it is to gadge my actions within the esoteric arts. How do you define anything when everything is capable of redefinition? What is fairness or responsibility when those subjects are already so fluid in society?

I know dangers of this path, and I’ve already committed myself to this current and a magick lifestyle at large. So when push comes to shove I know I’ll be okay… But I’m starting to wonder what anyone else’s well being/ expectations matter anymore.

Does a “responsible” Draconian Initiate, maintain any social contracts that cause discomfort or low vibration to oneself for the sake of another?

Just some thoughts…

I think that questions like these are worthy of doing a divination over. If you haven’t already, you should find a form of divination that you can use to answer questions like this.

I’m a big fan of Tarot and the I Ching, and I have a natural strength in terms of intuition and so divination is my easiest acquired skill. Currently, I’m working with Eistibus on creating a new form of divination; so that’s a thing.

But if you don’t have a form of divination, then you need to get one.

And regarding morality and what LHP ethics looks like, I define morality selfishly. Does this benefit me? Does this hinder me? So, I guess I’m ultimately a hedonist, my morality is based around what brings me the most pleasure as I define it. But, becoming a living god means you get to answer these kinds of quesitons yourself.

Yeah that’s called “divination”.

Is there a countervailing/ reconstructive/ harmonizing energy in the Draconian path, that follows the Chaos of breaking old habits and routines?

Or is a strong, stable, financial/home life an expected prerequisite to the further tumultuousness of this path?

From what I’ve seen of the energies in question the latter scenario is more likely. There doesn’t seem to be a brake for the traveler.

How do you define anything when everything is capable of redefinition?

Hence why my book is still in production. Lines blur.

What is fairness or responsibility when those subjects are already so fluid in society?

They’re constructs of said society, and that’s pretty much it.

The only laws spirits follow, are laws designed by power and their superiors.

Power is law. And in this jungle, power threw out “fairness” and “responsibility” as laws, and built engines so that the necessary balances would work out on their own.

I know dangers of this path, and I've already committed myself to this current and a magick lifestyle at large. So when push comes to shove I know I'll be okay

How?

What makes you assume that?

Does a "responsible" Draconian Initiate, maintain any social contracts that cause discomfort or low vibration to oneself for the sake of another?

Were I a dragon, I wouldn’t want my initiates being so… lackluster. May I see more of this “code”? You can PM me more of the ethics if you’d like.

Power is Law.

I think I just needed to hear that.

Much of the time our environment completely encapsulates us, leaving the essence/ feeling of previous experiences almost non-existent.

There’s almost an insidious “seductive intent” of the Status Quo, to blot out the evidence of any vibration not compatible with this particular moment in time.

It’s like there’s momentum to reconstruct the thoughts and feelings that coalesce with an older POV, rather than reacting to the newer- less established trajectory/ timeline, we have Willed into existence.

Goals - Desire - Will - Freedom - and Flow,
are almost a completely different language to how most of society operates. So I guess I’m just acclimating “publicly” to a newer more empowered POV.

Yeah Divination is key. I definitely have to get back into Tarot.

I agree with the others who already answered your questions. Use a divination method to determine what would be better for you now, consult a professional Tarot reader if you don’t trust your skills yet, or simply sleep on it and follow your intuition.
Just remember that your life stability and magical path are not contradictory - they should go together and empower each other. If your conditions are not perfect, do what you can to find some time for systematic practice, even if it’s only 15 minutes daily. If you stay focused on your goals and keep channeling energy into building your life foundations, it will eventually happen.
