Valour is an old word, and an old idea. It is the idea of courage in the face of danger. Of honor in the face of adversity. But for me it is also about truth in the face of injustice. It is inspired righteous anger and the will compelled to action. And the choice to accept the consequences of that action.
Valour is not courage for the self, but for the defense, protection and freedom of those who are valued above and beyond the self. Valour is a virtue to which I aspire. May my Gods, my Ancestors and my Allies grant me the grace to rise to their call to Valour.
