The First Gift is that of Knowledge and also Magic
With the gift I received after participating in my first contract, it was time to learn how to use it and how to become more than I am.
Of course I didn't know any way to do that, but one of my many talents is google and once you turn enough rocks you can find anything. It was after several hours of false starts and many a phone call that I finally tracked down someone who could help me, a very old hermit by the name of Graff Drakson. Graff didn't make things easy, first off he doesn't like visitors, secondly he doesn't like teaching people how to use runes. After a good deal of pestering that resembled Disney's Hercules entreating Phil, Graff finally started teaching me how to use my soul and my mind to produce magical effects. So far my grasp on it is limited to a bolt of energy, but now I think I could hold my own in a fight, at least for a little while.
The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
