I am very late for this it seems, but my respects go out all the same. It was awhile ago, many people were met after dedicating. I did not have the control at that time and was wild in imagination, in impressionability, and still very much a child. I was fortunate for Father Zeus to find me and bring me to him so I may have the choice to dedicate, despite a state of mind and being that took a very long time to finally grow out of and shed. In this time I met good people, and some people I thought were good but ended up being the enemy in disguise. I was fooled many times sadly, and HPS Myla was there to help try to cool this from time to time, despite these actions potentially being mitigated by having better tact and self control. Some of her last words to me were "stay strong." I have remembered these words through the past, quite long, time, over a decade now. I was inspired to look for her and see how she was doing, and was eventually lead here. I know she will be well and hope the best for her in life outside of the JoS/ToZ Clergy. I wish she knew and hopefully knows I have stayed strong, at the minimum with my loyalty, and in my ability to survive the trials and suffering, some of which wrought by my own hands, to come back here today and to have the chance to say this. I have stayed strong, and now the Path is clearer than it ever has been, even though I am still acclimating as I were quite new. Life is as wondrous as it is beautiful, and I am happy to stand up and fight for the Truth, our Gods, and the future of our Gentile people.
Thank you for what you have contributed to the community, as I am understanding you helped translate the JoS in Spanish, though from the comments and aside from helping my stability in the beginning of a very unstable time, you have helped and impacted many other dedicated initiates as well and I am sure more ways I am unaware.
Maybe there will be a time you come back to visit and see this, but otherwise, I believe it needed to be said and has been something I have wanted to say for a long time.
Thank you again.
