For those who do not know of me
An Acolyte brought it to my attention that there may be those among you who are unaware of who and what I am. I am a Dominant of the 12th Order, a house so ancient, its origins are shrouded in the history of time, although our accomplishments are not, as we are the most respected house in all of Europe. We trained the Spanish inquisitors, we were the Roman slave traders, and it was we who introduced the Greeks to their love of boys, and yet we are far older and consider as children the “old guard” of America who’s lineage fades in less than a century. I myself began my training while in the womb and have continued that education unending until the present day although there are few Elders left with enough knowledge to add to my own.
In the coming year I myself shall join those hallowed ranks of Elders and thus the cycle continues. I realize to many of you, men such as myself are the stuff of myths and legends, but I am real flesh and blood.
For those who have never had the honor of being graced with my presence and yet wish to offer the proper greetings, I thought I would outline the required etiquette. While this varies from house to house, it is the 12th Order that other houses seek to emulate so this etiquette will serve you well.
When conducting introductions, one always presents the inferior party to the superior party. Just as one would never introduce the Queen to anyone else, one would never introduce a superior Dominant to an inferior, it is the inferior Dominant who is introduced to the superior ranking Dominant. When Dominants of equal rank are introduced, the one from the inferior house that is introduced to the Dominant from the superior house.
When a Dominant or a Domme is presented to someone from a superior house, such as mine, it is proper to cross your arms across your chest and to glance downward until recognized. This signifies that I am free to do as I wish but that you defer actions to me. The downward glance signifies that you acknowledge your house is inferior to mine.
When a submissive is introduced, the correct greeting varies according to the sex of the submissive. Females should arch their backs so as to present their breasts proudly but both lower their gaze and clasp their hands behind their backs. Males should simply turn their wrists so that the inside of the palms of the hands face inwards and press the wrists together as if bound.
I look forward to meeting some of you and while I will not admonish you publicly for failing to adhere to the above, expect me to take you aside and correct you.
(and yes, this is sarcasm…)
