Greetings from the Order and Ordinance. Lord Kurakku’s Period of Watching has returned, and as we are still very much under the Yrridthmas Declaration, that state of current affairs deserves the Ordinance’s attention. This Period’s focus will cover a variety of topics regarding Divine Punishment, but it is first prominent to rhetorically nail the sins of corruption upon this world to the wall for all to witness the abhorrent and heinous nature of evil. For this opening Commentary, we will be plastering a selection of global situations the Ordinance believes are tied directly to theigrited evil that deserve higher scrutiny and community acknowledgement about. We will conclude with a prayer of condemnation against this evil at the end. Let’s begin.

“Ira Caerulea…”

1. Awareness and Condemnation of Suspicious Deaths of Black persons in the United States with concentration in the American South: The Ordinance calls witness of all to the recent and seemingly ongoing strings of highly suspicious and reoccurring deaths of almost exclusively Black persons in the United States through predominately the method of hanging although not exclusively. These deaths have come in small waves but are significant in frequency that it prompts thorough review. Many of these deaths have been hastily deemed “of no foul play” or determined curtly to be “suicides” despite circumstance and evidence that may point in other directions. The Ordinance recounts that notorious history of killings in the United States of Black persons by way of theigrited and evil forces such as the Ku Klux Klan—using hanging as the main apparatus to conduct these massacres and lynchings against Black people—and take that reference point to reflect and analyze these suspicious cases. Moreover, the lack of fruitful or substantial investigation, the myriad of suspicious circumstances regarding how any investigation has been conducted by local officials, and the stonewalling of access for independent investigators to these deaths warrants an immediate spotlight into the matter at hand. From the active recounts of those within the Black community, hanging of oneself as a means of committing suicide a highly uncommon and nearly condemned means of doing so—in other words, informed by the history of lynchings, Black people descendants of slavery do not willfully hang themselves and especially not in public locations in suicidal episodes. These deaths, although not all done via hanging, parody historical examples of lynchings and demand immediate review and diligence. The Ordinance, informed by the Sacred Lesson of “Skin of Dark Soil,” recognizes the patterns attributed to this specific type of theigrited evil and call upon all Xyphoites to bring their attention to this matter.
2. The Immediate Condemnation of the brutal genocide of Sudanese People in Sudan: The Ordinance issues a uniform condemnation of the ongoing genocide and military conflict in Sudan between Sudanese armed forces and the RSF. Throughout this conflict, a rough estimate of nearly 400,000 Sudanese people have been killed, with reports of rampant sexual abuse and torture being conducted against them. Specific targets of this horrendous massacre have been almost exclusively the non-Arab population of Black Africans in the Darfur region of Sudan. This has been a longstanding internal conflict with past records in the early 2000s of other genocides of the same nature, and the unjust and mass suffering is an atrocious act against the spiritual liberties of those affected, a whole host of Immoral Acts, and through the vehicle of those targeted, a Grave Act of Theigritism. The global silence on this mass atrocity is horrid, and the Ordinance calls upon all Xyphoites to take issue on the matter and press their representatives to force the issue into the light. Make notice that all action, under Yrridthmas, MUST be done without promoting our religious intentions and shall be conducted through secular and unaffiliated concern. While it is our faith that informs this concern, our actions currently must remain to ourselves. We seek not to proselytize but to mitigate worldly suffering. Future avenues through the Sacred Hill Project and other affiliated groups may be posted to help aid refugees of this conflict.
3. Rapid Decline in Women’s rights and Safety from draconian policy shifts: The Ordinance condemns a recent downward trend of women’s rights, autonomy, and safety from current downward trends of policy in various parts of the world, namely in the United States and western Asia. The Ordinance reaffirms its belief in one of our tenets of Spiritual Liberty guaranteed to all beings of existence, and condemns the stripping of that Spiritual Liberty—with specific focus on the stripping of rights and autonomy for women. This applies both to basic autonomy and bodily autonomy, which can be seen in both regional cases mentioned above. The Ordinance reaffirmed that the Soul is what determines a person’s position, not the vessel in which the soul inhibits, and that the autonomy and Spiritual Liberty of a soul shall not be stripped via its vessel’s determined sex. All beings of existence reserve autonomy over their soul and vessel.
4. Ongoing Awareness and Condemnation on Acts of Hubris against Nature: The Ordinance renews its grave concern for the state of Nature and the Hubris of humanity to challenge it. We take particular notice to the recent climate changes and the incredibly lack of concern on the part of various global powers to respond properly to such events. Cases of massive wildfires , flooding from tropical storms with very little response to those affected. We can also add incredible heatwaves, droughts, and water shortages that have led to significant deaths and suffering in various parts of the world this summer alone, and in general the lack of concern over the rapid decline in predictable weather patterns and the untold destruction they bring. We are informed through the Sacred Lesson of “Natural Rebirth” that Nature is the Creating Force, and that we as humans cannot best Lord Nakndes’s rules nor outdo Hayle Nkes’s consequences, and so the Ordinance calls again of all Xyphoites to keep conscious of the environment and to call upon your representatives to push policies that do the same.

For this opening Commentary, the Ordinance issues these condemnations on these specific cases. We, as Arch-Hayle Grandurates, actively pray and give our spiritual resonance to the Cosmos in an effort to sway them and bring upon Mercy to the innocent and condemnation to evil. We reiterate that Divine Punishment is solely the authority of Lord Kurakku and his Sacred Child Jaszmisia, and shall format this Ordinance to aid in setting up the conditions for the innocent to be protected and for evil to fall to its own Hubris. As such, we shall now issue two Sacred Prayers to facilitate that spiritual requirement.

We first issue the Sacred Prayer of Purity to protect the innocent from the harms of corruption and evil:

“The Nine Lords of the Xyphokonic Order: Carnyie, Pharuuii, Vuetenexzyei, Caspierre, Caishor, Kyaien, Saifaosé, Nakndes, Kurakku, hear our request. Give heed to our words, please give Your words of Wisdom and Knowledge. Bless us with the worthy wish of Your choice. Let our soul stand in pride to Your words. The nine Lords of the Xyphokonic Order, to the pure and tainted. From Zeigadii Xyphoites kyX, jzX, crX, phX, lnX, whX, ruX, erX, voX. We belong to You; our souls are in Your hands.”

With innocence protected, we now issue our condemnation to these mentioned evils, and shall issue the Sacred Prayer of the Tainted:

“The Nine Lords of the Xyphokonic Order: Kurakku, Vuetenexzyei, Caspierre, Caishor, Nakndes, Kyaien, Pharuuii, Saifaosé, Carnyie, curse the tainted of the sinner. Their souls have turned black with evil. The final arc has come to them, punish them with Your power and Wisdom. Reincarnation denied by the Wisdom they do not possess. The nine Lords of the Xyphokonic Order, to the pure and tainted. From Zeigadii Xyphoites jzX, crX, whX, ruX, lnX, phX, erX, voX, kyX.  We belong to You; our souls are in Your hands.”

With that, we conclude this spiritual condemnation. The rampant escalation of these various circumstances denotes the slow poisoning of this Earth with Deceptuary’s corruption and evil. Through his cowardly fear of Lord Kurakku, the Theigriet relies on such depraved levels of evil to seek out his ill-found goals. And despite repeated warnings from Lord Pharuuii, Deceptuary refuses to heel to his own Hubris and shall continue to ignore those warnings of his impending destruction. The Ordinance remains steadfast in our focus on bringing to light this evil through our dedicated teaching of the Xyphoist Philosophy to all who seek it willingly—as we seek not to replicate the errors of the Theigriet through proselytizing. As said before, the old edict stands true: Theigrits will inevitably destroy upon themselves through their own Hubris, and they shall seek to dig graves meant for us, yet they will undoubtedly fall into that very pit dug, and the Ordinance holds responsibility to return the soil to that now occupied grave and build a new world atop those ruins. That is the message of the Prophecy, that is one of the many duties of the Ordinance, that is the path to Maintaining the Equilibrium and mitigating worldly suffering.

“Ira Divina Caerulea.“
