A Cosmic Principal is a principal “concept” that embodies a greater ideal. Followers have an elevated level of duty and obligation that transcends a single Divine Principal or Principal Entity and venerates a golden ideal above any specific entity. In choosing this, they must embrace the Will of the Principal’s Hand approach to their use of Formulaes (spells, etc.). The Sword Word of the Follower carries with it the heaviness of the Vow to uphold the weightiest of Tenets and Litany – their very life is dedicated to it. These often reflect one of the creeds. The advantage to such an approach is a lack of authority over the Follower.
Disadvantages: Followers that prefer this route are highly individualistic. They forgo support from Institutions and Clergies, there is no congregation. Informal Orders may be formed around them, but because it is so personal, there is no recognized central Voice of Authority. Offerings are made, but tithe can only be for secular (an order, brotherhood, sisterhood, etc.) benefit.
