THE DATU CREED
SINCE THE DAYS OF THE FIRST RITES IT HAS BEEN THUS;
DATU MUST SANCTIFY THE TEMPLE AND COMMAND THE SACRED SPACE...
I AM DATU, I HAVE SET MYSELF A KINGDOM THAT I MIGHT LEAVE BEHIND THE REALMS OF POWERLESSNESS AND JUDGEMENTS.
WITH MY LEFT HAND I WIELD THE SAVAGE DARKNESS AND WITH MY RIGHT HAND I WIELD THE HEALING LIGHT.
I HAVE BATHED IN THE WATERS OF ENKI AND HAVE BEEN MADE PURE
I HAVE LAYED MY HEAD IN THE PURE LAP OF ISHTAR AND HAVE BEEN BLESSED
I
HAVE EATEN OF THE BREAD OF LIFE AND I HAVE SUPPED AT THE CUP OF WONDER.
I
AM DATU
