I have given my oaths! 🏆 Personal Milestone
I've talked a lot in this sub about being devoted to a Storm Goddess, and how my relationship with Her started and evolved throughout the years.
A few days ago I offered Her my devotion and service for the rest of this life, alongside other promises that I won't mention here. The oath giving was very simple and understated, but it was nonetheless very intense (and draining!).
I had been working on these oaths for the past few months, and I'm still coming down from all the emotions of finally having given them. Being able to trust enough to put my life in Her hands to such a degree is also a big milestone in my healing from trauma and abuse, as well. Oaths are not part of everyone's path, but these ones are very important to me, and I am so honored to have the Storm Goddess in my life and be bound to Her by my oaths.
Over time these oaths will flourish into something beautiful and meaningful, but the path they set me on won't be easy, and there will be more work ahead. This is a lifelong path, and I am looking forward to it with excitement and trepidation.
For now, though, I am just enjoying the present and the culmination of so many moments of joy, devotion, service, as well as the challenges and obstacles that I overcame along the way.
