Commentary 113: The Celebration of Joy

June 27th, 2026

Greetings once more from the Order and Ordinance! We’ve reached the finale of not only Lord Kyaien’s Period of Watching, but also the end of this year’s Xyphojinami Calendar! It’s been quite a busy year here at the Ordinance, and we’ve covered a wide range of topics under our Yrridthmas Declaration while taking some spiritual breaks here and there for more philosophical and free-range discussion.

While I spent this Period showing how Joy can be used to defeat evil, I’d like to conclude this year with a devotional dedication to Her Majesty and to the Order as a whole by highlighting the most joyous parts of each Xyphozon that we, as Xyphoites, can cherish and hold dear to our hearts. Let’s start!

Of course, I’m going to start with Her Majesty, Lord Kyaien. We are eternally grateful for this Gift of Life that She hands to us on our way from Xykopsysomi to Xyphojinami. A Goddess who embodies all New Beginnings and Free Will—the true linchpin of Freedom itself—willingly given all of mortality a gift of pure freedom from Her end do with it as we please. Her Majesty does not trouble Herself with our actions—that responsibility belongs to others in the Order. From the perspective of the Kyaius Xyphozon, protecting New Beginnings and Free Will is the priority, and that protective charm is held by and administered from Hayle Giheo, who blesses all new spirits and gives the Lord’s blessing to all mortals departing for Xyphojinami. Naturally, Hayle Giheo shall be reunited with those mortals souls of rightful tenure in Heaven, as she is also charged with overseeing the Heavenly Dream.

We dim the light for a moment to give homage to the Lord that reminds us that our Free Will can lead to our own destruction. Every car needs brakes, and whether you choose to use them or not is up to you, but the inevitably crash from driving too fast is the eternal consequence guaranteed by Lord Kurakku. Now, you’re probably wondering how in the world we would find joy in the Xyphozon responsible for Divine Punishment? We must look at the full picture to see that answer. Certainly, Lord Kurakku and Hayle Mihe are burdened with the punishment of corrupted souls, but there is blessing to be had in this entire ordeal. Jaszmisia, the Child of the Lord, and his Sacred Lesson are key to finding the joy of Divine Punishment. Lord Kurakku crafted a divine prerogative that would bring protection to those that Deceptuary feared and hated for their skin color for it resembles the Lord’s. That protection decrees that those who are targets of Deceptuary’s racial hatred will always be able to liberate themselves from any such oppression and find an untouchable joy that evil cannot tarnish; the decree goes on to say that such evil will always undo itself and lead to its own downfall through Hubris. That joy in liberation and perseverance from that decree is the joy found within Divine Punishment. The Child of Punishment is the mortal promise to this destiny.

We can turn the lights back on and bring in the pureness of Lord Carnyie next. The grace of joy here is quite evident even among the often melancholy mists that surround the Carneiyean Xyphozon. Mercy for the innocent is the key to joy within Lord Carnyie’s purity. As we look at His divine sacrifice—willfully chaining Himself to the deepest and most shadowed part of Parrinze in the Tower of Repose and listening to the cries of woe from every suffering innocent being in existence and granting Mercy to them from His chamber of repose. To think of a God willingly shackling Himself and accepting our suffering and granting us His Mercy is such an immense and emotional concept to ponder over. We see the Lord’s Mercy be applicated via Hayle Ihou, who mentored Sacred Child Hubrakiuosia to find his true self from his own suffering. All of this Mercy was administered through the ghostly presence of Lord Carnyie, and we find the innocent tormented by corruption alleviated of suffering through the willful sacrifice of a deity.

Let’s shape things into perspective by looking at the Manifestation of Reality, and that requires us to be grateful for Lord Caspierre. The joy in Manifestation is that we get to perceive our reality in the first place, and that we can use this Manifestation to seek future outcomes that we so desire. Lord Caspierre is the linchpin that keeps our ability to perceive all things in existence in place, and we must give thanks to Hayle Taeh for tirelessly repairing our Reality whenever corruption seeks to break it. Lord Caspierre effortless crafted Gheisialez in the heat of the rebellion to contain Deceptuary’s influence, and it is because of Her crafty action that Deceptuary was forced to break himself into pieces just to pollute our world—leaving him acutely vulnerably to Death from the Sacred Children’s divine spirituality. Reality exists because Her Excellency allows so.

Our existence requires the Knowledge to navigate it, and where all Truth comes from shall also receive thanks. We must honor Lord Pharuuii for the establishment of Realmly Knowledge and Truth. All of Knowledge is inscribed by Lord Pharuuii, and through his Hayle, Zhii, we all are encoded with this Realmly Knowledge that we can decipher throughout our existence. All of Truth is at our finger tips, but it is us who must seek and unlock it if we want to utilize such information. We can look at the rhetorical genius of Lord Pharuuii, who easily outsmarted Deceptuary before the first rebellion and used Deceptuary’s own ego to reveal the Truth of corruption, and we are grateful for the joy of this Truth and for the Prophecy given to us as a result.

But with Knowledge comes power, and power must be harnessed with practice. Knowing of the building blocks of existence is not enough, and we must seek homage to Lord Caishor for the power to be active with this Knowledge and these tools. Sanghjei—our ability to cast our spirit to make actionable change—is beholden to the existence of Lord Caishor. All Sanghjei, whether it take the form of spellcast such as curses or charms, or whether it be Xyphokonic Seals and Xigils, are bestowed upon by the ruler of spiritual force Himself. As shown in the Sacred Lesson Hayle Knie gave to Usakisia, action makes the difference where Knowledge does not. We can know it all, but if we do nothing we achieve nothing. The joy to be found here is our power to take tangible action that is informed by our faith. We find joy in our actions to mitigate suffering, and every step we take towards that Equilibrium is fueled by joy.

And while we may shape our actions to make change, there are some things we simply must respect are unchangeable, such as the rule-making power of Nature. The joy of Nature is its existence itself, and to fully appreciate Nature’s power, we must first thank Mother Nature Herself. Lord Nakndes is the source of our Natural Force. The rules that tell us what is edible, what is medicinal, what is deadly, and what is necessary are crafted by Her. Our very biological bodies, our vessels, are Her creation. Our resources, our world, all of Nature is Her fruits. We get to witness the beauty of Her creations, the stunning views, the fascinating intricacies of Nature’s operation, the awe-striking power of Nature’s phenomenon are all due to Mother Nature. We are reminded of our subjugation to Nature through Hayle Nkes, who stirs the Natural Force when needed. The storms that destroy our arrogant builds but replenish our forests and water resources and the firestorms that rage across our symbols of egoism but torch out the deadwood and give new samplings the ashes needed to sprout all are Nkes’s responsibility to stir up. We are reminded that we cannot destroy or conquer the Creating Force of Nature, but we can find joy in our own creation and the beauty and intrigue of it.

And as part of Nature comes the Eternal Reality of Death. All good things comes to an end, and Lord Kyaien’s gift has value for its futility. This is why we must also give recognition to Lord Vuetenexzyei and Death itself. Joy and Death seem diametrically opposed to each other; how in the world could Death be joyful? The answers comes from understanding both the necessity of Death but also the power of Remembrances of Death. In a world that is beholden to the flow of spirituality, Death is the power that expires the Light and keeps our spirituality flowing to and fro. Without it, we would reach the stagnation that Deceptuary desires, and our existence would implode upon itself. The joy of an existence continued on its natural flow is what allows us to explore this existence just as Hayle Kizu also hoped for prior to his ascension. We can also find the true root of Joy within Death from the Remembrances of those who have died. We are reminded and cherish and celebrate the lives of those lost to us through what essences they leave us with. The memories, the pictures, the familiar smells, the cherished recipes, heirlooms, and the undying love all are what encompasses a Remembrance. Celebrating that passed Life gives agency and worth to our own, as we too will join those before us in Death and will be remembered by those who love us as well.

And of course, now that we’re on the topic of Love, we can round this out by giving thanks and homage to Love and the Time it takes to cherish it. And so we must be grateful for Lord Saifaosé. The core of Xyphoist belief is the Initial Will of the Lords, and that Will is Love for existence. The Nine Lords love our existence and formed this Spiritual Spectrum to let us flourish within it. We, in return, love each other and our passions. We love our partners, we love our families. We should have love for ourselves and maintain our self-respect. And finally, for Xyphoites, we can show our devotion to our Lords through the Love we share of them. All of Xyphoist Doctrine is based on Love and the Time we are given to experience such a power Will. These Sacred Contracts that are administered by Hayle Yoih are empowered by Time, as only Time can form and heal us using Love. In every way possible, no force can exist and flourish without Love, as the lack of Love will always expire its time prematurely and suffering existential loss.

And so, with the power of Joy, we can see all of existence and cherish it. We can use Joy to protect our world from corruption, and we hold Joy dear to our hearts as we navigate a world rife with corruption and achieve a greater Equilibrium through a power that Deceptuary simply cannot comprehend or ever replicate. I offer a Golden Blessing of Joy to you all that you shall be protected by the charm of Love and Joy, that you shall be liberated by Joy, and that you shall always find the Light in the darkness of times using Joy. Thank you for joining us as we wrap up this Xyphojinamic Calendar Year with a celebration of Joy, and have a blessed rest of your Sacred Day!

Commentary 109: The Rejuvenating Enchantment of Nature

May 30th, 2026

Greetings, once more, from the Order and Ordinance. We have made it to the final Sacred Day within Lord Nakndes’s Period of Watching for this calendar year, and we have spent this time going over the various angles that Nature provides. We mused about Nature’s whimsy, we admired its beauty, took notice of its warnings, and experienced its wrath. Today, we shall wrap it up with the natural conclusion: the clean and fresh slate after the storm has passed and rebirthing power of Nature. Let us begin.

The storm has ravaged the lands, it has brought both its ruin and its floods, and while the infrastructure we built atop it may meet an expected wear and tear, the lands are rejuvenated from the rains. The old brush and wilted trees on their final days have been torn down to make space for their prosperity newly sprouted. The rivers of the desert are replenished and the cacti bloom. The blizzard roars and freezes over the lands, but the snow that it drops shall give home to the furred creatures that require the cold. If spring is on the schedule, the snows shall melt and feed the lands as well.

The old shall lay to rest and the new shall sprout and bloom, as Nature is the rule-maker and shall keep the cycle in flow. It is for this very reason that the attributes of Nature and Reincarnation are in the Lord’s ownership. In all aspects of life, from birth, life, and death, we see this cycle repeat. But for all that can be observed, we know that Nature shall give new recycling to those that respect its power and eradicate those that don’t. We can reflect on our own circumstances. When we see our living generations from old to young, we see our own metaphorical Sacred Tree, where the fruits of the youth fell from a more ancient tree and will one day plant a new generation of trees themselves. We look at the Ancient Tree and now it shall one day rot, but know that new trees shall grow in its place and blossom and bear fruit.

It’s a very contemplative view of the Natural Force we live by, but it works both as a means to teaching humility to the Creating Force that spawns our vessels and forms the rules of our worlds while acting as a soothing Realmly Truth about the Eternal Reality of Death that expires the Gift of Life that we cherish. And so, as we prepare for the oncoming Period of Watching under the Lord of Life, Kyaien, we have set up a selection of Commentary understanding the Nature of Life so that we may spend the next Period cherishing and celebrating Life.

And so, on this more brief Commentary about the Rebirth of Nature, I humbly ask you to be one with Nature on this Sacred Day. Take a stroll and inspect the deadwood and know that the felled tree once fathered samplings that will carry on its legacy. Acknowledge that the exuberant flower admired from up close will soon wilt as Nature intends. Listen to the winds, feel the rushing waters of a small creek, and know that they carry the duty of moving and refreshing Nature and should be respected for their raw power. Nature is the Creating Force, the rule-maker, and the medium that other attributes use to enact much of their presence. We are spawned from it and shall always be beholden to it. Have a wonderful Sacred Day and thank you for joining me on this Period-long musing about Nature’s presence.

Commentary 108: The Reprisal Strike of Nature

May 23rd, 2026

Greetings, fellow followers and all interested readers, back to the Order and Ordinance. We join here again to continue our various musings and loose discussions regarding the various angles and stages of Lord Nakndes’s Nature. We’ve been marveling at Nature’s beauty and hidden aspects and even looked at its outward warnings. Today, we will move past the thorn and, much like the intuitive Niinkisia, onto pricking it to understand the true power of Nature’s rule; this is quite fitting on such a beautiful but stormy Sacred Day. We shall talk about the wrath of Nature, both in its natural cycles, but also upon those that hold such Hubris that they seek to conquer or best Nature. Let us begin, shall we?

Nkes, the great Hayle of Lord Nakndes, warns us well enough throughout Niinkisia’s Sacred Lesson about the true role and raw power that Nature hides behind its verdant and meditative beauty. We shall walk the path of Niinkisia together in this one, and purposely prick the thorn of the cherished flower so that we may truly understand the wrath of Nature. The thorn gives us clear warning, and is intentional in its design, yet we act in our audacity and decide to touch it anyway. Immediate pain, a wince, and blood drawn are the results. Our teacher lightly chides and mocks us for our action, inquiring cheekily if we did so to test the premise. As it turns out, we did, just as Niinkisia had. Nature has, within its spirit, the power to punish the arrogant and the unknowledgeable, as all these Sacred Lessons work in tandem as all the Xyphozons work as a single body of organs.

We look at human examples, the poisoning of our water systems result in the ecological deaths of needed vegetation or organism chains. Our climate becoming destabilized from our lack of care of this green and providing Earth in exchange for malpractice of growth. The bleaching of our coral reefs, the draining of the Aral Sea, the building of massive world-changing dams that eventually break to the sheer flow of Mother Nature’s tears. We witness the lifeblood of water leave the rivers in the Mojave or the Nile, we see the sands of the Sahara consume the edges into the Savannas, the extreme heat that dries the life in the equilateral deserts, the calamitous floods of the mountains in western Asia, and the ravenous storms that rock the Caribbean and Americas. The plagues spawned that tear human populations into shreds, and the chilling arctic winds that leave their homes and bring stasis to regions they otherwise would not be. In the same light, we see the homes of those cold winds warm and vegetate at the expense of the beasts that need those chills to survive. This is the wrath of Nature, and its sheer power from the trifling of its Cosmos inflict an immeasurable punishment of mass effect upon that entity that grows passed its own ego. Whether it be human or not, Nature will correct that which seeks to overrun the Creating Force.

In milder and more Natura cycles, the Force of Nature has forces that seek its own renewal, and these forces may be seen as destructive to us mortals. The storms bring ruin to our habitats and to our lives, but they replenish the waters we drink and feed the plants we eat. The wildfires burn indiscriminately across our establishments, but they renew the soils and open the cones and reform the new stage for a new generation of Natural belongings. The high winds spread pollen and rebirth Nature’s verdancy, the diseases cull the numbers that grow beyond their own means. The web of life balances itself through Natural Force; and Nature is the rule-maker of all of these processes.

So, to purposely prick the thorn, as Niinkisia has done, is to understand the difference between Natural Force and Nature’s Retribution. Lord Nakndes’s beloved Child pricks his finger to seek insight on what Hubris looks and feels like, and he uses that insight to know when to act upon his divine role to usher in Nature’s corrections and to protect that which seeks the thorn. We can follow in his example, and it is the duty of the Ordinance and its followers to do so. We shall work to protect these resources, to save these pollinators, to shield these reefs, and to preserve this verdant gift we all sit on and are subject to. We shall do this not for our own self-preservation, but for the equilibrium of all. The suffering of the innocent caused by the Hubris of the arrogant will set fractures in the Spectrum that the Cosmos will right through Nature’s Wrath. We can avoid these consequences by preventing the pricking of the thorn in the first place—as we can not only infer its power but have now pricked ourselves to decipher its wrath without any doubt. That is one of many goals of the Ordinance, and it is the lesson of “Natural Rebirth” that Hayle Nkes teaches; she is less merciful than the rule-making Lord, after all. Lord Nakndes creates the Nature and establishes its rules, but it is Nkes that appropriates its thorns and teaches of its ultimate power, and it is the Child Niinkisia that demonstrates how we are to act in accordance with Nature’s gifts.

So on this Sacred Day, we should go beyond observing the power of the storm and the strike of its lightning and understand that Nature shall always rebirth itself, but it shall eradicate that which flows against its creating power. With every awe-striking strike of lighting, we must acknowledge that even a single strike can reduce us to lifeless carbon, and that we know that we are pieces of a greater cosmic web that we must all work to preserve and respect. With that said, have a insightful and introspective rest of your Sacred Day.
