Bessus Nouiogalation Îanoi (Virtues)
Find out more about Gaulish Virtues over at Bessus Nouiogalation
A major component of Bessus Nouiogalation is to live life in accordance with Assus (order, according to ritual, with connotations of sacred or universal law). This means is to live in a beneficial way to the world, our communities, and ourselves. What it does not mean is following along with the “status quo” or being unquestioning. If the “status quo” is oppressive or unjust, it is not in line with Assus. Therefore not in line with the order. It is important to mention this as we often see people and entire systems pervert morals to suit the powerful and not order. There is no order without Uîroioniâ (Justice).
