As an Ercian, I only communicate
with good powers when I pray. In addition, I do not believe human beings
can be "possessed." Therefore, I am not afraid of devils or
demons or spirits that could overtake my mind or soul and make me do or
act in a way that is not a product of my will, of my own volition.
If a good Kingdom of God exists,
as I propose the Kingdom of Ellael to be, I have chosen a Quaternity to
represent the Family, or Divine Family, if you will. The names I have
given the Quaternity are derived from the Christian tradition, my
religion of earlier years, a religion and tradition which I consider part
of my Family:
Our Mother, María of Ellael
Our Son, Jesus of Ellael
Our Father, Yaseph of Ellael
Our Daughter, Barbara of Ellael
NOTE: Those wishing to become Ercians but that were raised in a religious tradition other than Christian, may give each member of the Divine Family a name that is familiar to you OR use the generic forms:
Mother Ex Ellael, Son Ex Ellael, Father Ex Ellael, and Daughter Ex Ellael. The word "EX" carries the meaning "From" or "whose source is." Thus, Mother Ex Ellael, means Our Mother from Ellael or Our Mother whose Source is our Personal God and Holy Self ELLAEL.
Coming back now to the Christian tradition, my tradition, María is Spanish for Mary,
mother of Jesus. The name Yaseph is symbolic for Joseph, father of Jesus,
and the name Barbara from Catholic Saint Barbara (and Cuban) Santa
Bárbara. I have a statue of now "Daughter
Barbara" in my dining room altar where I do my morning and midday
prayers, where I also have a crucifix and statues of Joseph and Mary with
baby Jesus.
Daughter Barbara is holding a
cup in her right hand, the Cup of Our Houses, from which we receive
everything that is good and wholesome in our lives. In her left hand,
Daughter Barbara is holding a sword, the Sword of Our Houses, so that we
may learn to defend ourselves with it to protect our families, our
principles, and everything else we hold dear.
The world is a two-way street.
We may follow our first nature, a religious philosophy of love and peace
in the lane we travel, but if those coming from the opposite direction do
not act the same way but instead try to harm us, then we have no choice
but to follow our second nature, the philosophy of the responsible Father
or of the warrior Daughter if you will, once they are called upon to help
us act in self-defense, responsibly and judiciously.
MYSTICAL NAMES:
For The Mother María IMAY DONNAI
For The Father Yaseph ZADONNAI
For The Son Jesus IZZO DONN
For The Daughter Barbara IZZA DONNA
For The Holy Spirit ERBA LUCERNA ZADONNAI
For *The Fighting Spirit
ABRE
LUCERNA IBA IMAY DONNAI
*The Fighting Spirit is a
warring spirit. It is a Holy Spirit in the sense that it is necessary to
allow Good to triumph over Evil. However, war can never be considered
"Holy" because it brings death, misery and pain for the fallen,
the injured, and their families. Unfortunately, war is sometimes
necessary in defense of our lives, our principles, and our rights as
human beings.
DAILY PRAYER
All these prayers are done in
the Name of God and through the Power of God.
Imay Donnai, Our Mother, thanks for all our blessings, thanks to you and to the Lords and
Ladies of Our Houses. Please be with us so that we may drink from the
Cup of our Houses. Amen!
Zadonnai, Our Father, thanks
for all our blessings, thanks to you and to the Lords and Ladies of
Our Houses. Please be with us so that we may defend ourselves with the
**Sword of Our Houses. Xamen!
**The Sword of Our Houses is a
symbol that represents acts of self-defense. Ercians are law abiding
citizens who do not solve disputes with swords or any other weapon, but
only use such instruments when forced to do so in acts of self-defense.
Izzo Donn and Izza Donna, Our Son
and Our Daughter, thanks for all our blessings, thanks to you and to
the Lords and Ladies of Our Houses. Please be with us so that you may guide our
sons and daughters and our grandsons and granddaughters, so that they may become good citizens worthy of our Kingdom, and so you may protect them from All Evil. Amen!
In Spanish:
Todas estas
oraciones son hechas en el Nombre de Dios y a través del Poder de Dios.
Imay Donnai, Madre
Nuestra, gracias por todo lo concedido, gracias a usted y a los Señores y las Señoras de Nuestras Casas. Por favor esté con nosotros para que podamos
beber de La Copa De Nuestras Casas. Amen!
Zadonnai,
Padre Nuestro, gracias por todo lo concedido, gracias a usted y a los Señores y Señoras de Nuestras Casas. Por favor esté con nosotros para que
podamos defendernos con *la Espada de Nuestras Casas. Xamen!
*La Espada de Nuestras
Casas es un símbolo que representa actos de defensa propia. Los Ercianos
somos ciudadanos que obedecemos las leyes y no resolvemos disputas con
espadas ni ningún tipo de armas, pero solamente usamos esos tipos de
instrumentos cuando estamos forzados a hacerlo en defensa propia.
Izzo
Donn e Izza Donna, Hijo nuestro e Hija nuestra, gracias por todo lo
concedido, gracias a ustedes y a los Señores y Señoras de Nuestras Casas, por
favor estén con nosotros para que guíen a nuestros hijos e hijas y a nuestros nietos y nietas para que
ellos sean buenos ciudadanos dignos de Nuestro Reino, y protejanlos
de Todo Mal. Amen!
Que el Reino de Dios esté con
ustedes!
May the Ercian Kingdom of God be
with you!
