We believe that everyone contains within them the essence of the Divine.  As such, we take control of our own destinies, refusing the victim mentality.  We are not doormats, nor do we expect others to be so.  Everyone has a right and responsibility to look after his/her own interests by working for and with one's own desires and Will.

We believe in the experiencing and realizing of self as deity. We see everyone as connected by their divinity; and what happens to one person affects everyone, much like a stone dropped in a pond ripples and changes the pond as a whole.  We are conscious of this connection in our dealings with other people, but this does not preclude the possibility of causing directed, purposeful harm when appropriate. *

We honor Lilitu as our patron.  As the Sumero-Babylonian Goddess of Wind, she is known as the Divine Spirit, the Great Mother, and many other names.  She is well known for her strength of Will and open sexuality, but she also has incredible patience for those who are truly willing to listen and learn. 

We believe that any sexual activity between (or among) informed, mature, and consenting adults is appropriate and is one of the sacred joys of life to be celebrated, not hidden away as though it were shameful.  We recognize the vast potential of sex magic, and many of us practice it in various forms.

Blood, urine, other bodily fluids, hair, fingernails, and indeed all body parts are sacred and magical in our tradition.  They are neither lightly sacrificed nor given for mundane purposes.  Temple Zagduku considers it a grave crime against the spirit to take any of these things from a person against his/her will.

We believe that to develop spiritually in any meaningful way, one must explore both the lighter and darker aspects of existence.  To become that which we wish to be, we must examine that which we are in all its ramifications; we must also study why we wish to become that which we are not and honestly assess whether it is in our best interests.

Though not adverse to learning from others, we believe in doing what works for us, whether or not it happens to work for anybody else.  We discard those methods, behaviors, and modes of thinking which do not serve us.  We are willing to use any and all techniques and tools that assist, whether traditional or non-traditional.
