Men dia pre'z'biuro
I SWEAR by Evanda the beauteous and Avarra the Dark, and by Aldones Lord of Light and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and
judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation- to enter no mind save to help or heal, to share my knowledge with those in need of aid; to look upon my comii in the same footing as my own breduin, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation save that they take this same Oath; I will impart a knowledge of the donas to them, and to those laran gifted according to the law, but to none others.
I, Jaelle n'ha Gilla, do so swear.
From this day forth I swear that I'll never force the conscience of any.
Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the
comii, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and
corruption; and, further, from the seduction of females or males, of
freemen and richiyus.
I, Jaelle n'ha Gilla, do so swear.
While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to
enjoy life and the practice of my donas under the protection of the Towers.
But should I trespass and violate and betray this Oath, then shall I
submit myself to the jugdement of my comii for such discipline as they
shall deem my lot and if I failed them then my life is theirs when, how and as they can kill me, fair fight or unfair, sleep or awake,.
I, Jaelle n'ha Gilla, do so swear.
Be witness to my Oath all the Gods, my Oathtaker and my brethen as
Witnessed Marilla of Dalereuth, Keeper
Beware of what you ask, for you could be fulfilled.
