Order of the White Knights
| What is the Order of the White Knights ? | |
|
|
The Royal Order of the White Knights is a fraternal spirituality and service group for men of Earth-centered faiths, organized along the lines of ancient orders of chivalry such as the Knights Templar. Though primarily dedicated to the exploration of men's spirituality through Pagan, Heathen, and other types of earth-centered rituals, we also have a strong commitment of service to the community. For a more detailed explanation of what we do and how we're organized |

| Why a Pagan men's Group? | |
|
|
The Pagan male today finds himself in a confusing position. In response to the highly patriarchal nature of the mainstream monotheistic faiths, the Pagan community as a whole tends toward a matriarchal, feminine-oriented system. In this system, the male aspects of Divinity are often greatly if not completely eclipsed by the female aspects. The “Great Mother Goddess” is often honored to the exclusion of the God, who is relegated to the status of her “Consort” when He is mentioned at all! We believe that even as a completely patriarchal system is unbalanced, so too is a completely matriarchal system - a positive, dynamic balance between the two is needed, not an aggrandizement of one gender over the other. Both genders have their own strengths and weaknesses, and each has much to teach the other. To this end, we are committed to exploring the men's mysteries, the spiritual aspects of what it is to be male. We are an unashamedly men's group - there are many women's mysteries groups in existence, and we consider ourselves neither unbalanced nor chauvinistic for wishing to explore the spiritual aspects of our own gender. |

| What does community service have to do with men's spirituality? | |
|
|
We believe that service to the community is an important part of our spirituality - that a man can truly find the best in himself only in service to others. Sacrifice for the good of others is a traditional and integral aspect of men's spirituality - for example, the Wiccan belief in the sacrifice of the Horned Lord at Samhain to be reborn at Yule and renew the fertility of the earth, or from a Christian point of view, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. All of us sacrifice in some form or another so that others may be better off, though for most of us this sacrifice is of our time and energy rather than our lives. As Knights, we believe that with the power we are given comes the responsibility to help others. In fact, the word "knight" originally came from a Saxon word which meant "vassal" or "servant"; we take this to mean that we are servants of our community and of the greater good. |

| Why do you call yourselves "Knights"? | |
|
|
Though we call ourselves White Knights, we're not the kind of knights who wear armor, fight with swords, or swear fealty to a king. We choose to call ourselves White Knights because we identify strongly with the archetype or idea of knighthood, of a warrior who lives by a code of honor and who stands up for what he believes is right. As for swearing fealty to a king, the "White Knights" in our name doesn't mean we swear fealty to an earthly monarch. Rather, we swear fealty to our own particular concepts of divinity, to our brother knights, and to the ideals of knighthood and chivalry. The “White Knights” in our name is meant to remind us that within every man lies the spark of nobility, the touch of kingship and of the Divine. As in Arthurian legend, the Sacred Monarch, the “Once and Future King” is not dead, but sleeps within us all, and rises again when we have need of him. For a better idea about the importance of chivalry in men's Paganism, White Knights of Germany and contains many issues we find to be relevant in raising Pagan boys and men alike. |

| So who is this "Herne" fellow, anyway? | |
|
| | |
Herne, from whom our Order takes its name, is a pre-Christian Saxon deity whose name is thought to come from the Latin "Cernunnos" which means "The Horned One". His image can be found on the Gundestrup Cauldron (pictured at right), an artifact found in Denmark and dating from about 2000 years ago. Herne is the Patron of our Order; for us, he represents the quintessence of manhood, all that we strive to be and to achieve as men. He is the sacrificial God, who gives of himself so that others may live. Though we do not all honor Herne as the face of our particular Deity, as men, we honor what he represents. |
