Right And Wrong
Right and wrong is definitely not the same as good and evil. What is defined as right and wrong is somewhat based on prospective. There are usually rules to follow on both sides of the relationship with specific Gods/Goddesses. Warlike Gods/Goddesses would obviously have different rulesets from agricultural type Gods/Goddesses. To make things more confusing, some Gods/Goddesses may not have rules or even patterns they follow. Right and wrong can become "complicated".

Fate
Fate is by far the most important component of my religion. Fate is the principal that every action you take or don't take in anything you do or don't do effects everything else. Every action or inaction in your life has brought you to where you are now.

Forgiveness
You are responsible for your actions and being forgiven for bad actions is not possible. You can do great acts to help compensate for bad acts but in the end, what you have done can never be undone.

The Twelve Laws
There are twelve laws I follow. The first six laws I call the six major laws and are the laws taught to me. These six laws can never be broken under any circumstances. The penalty for breaking one of these laws is at the very least, death. There are no special cases or exceptions. Due to the nature of these six laws, they obviously pose a serious risk so I will only list two of the six major laws. There is nothing sinister with the remaining 4 major laws, they basically fall into the same category.

The first law is the Defender law.
"You are to protect the innocent."
note: Innocents are clearly defined as the young and the vulnerable. i.e. Ones who have never lost their innocence.
The second law is the honor the Gods/Goddesses law.
"Never bring dishonor to the Gods."
note: Never do anything which the Gods/Goddesses would disapprove of.

The remaining six laws I call the six minor laws and are not what I was taught. I added them several years ago as they are good laws. They are based on standard virtues most polytheists follow (or at least recognize). If interested, the six minor laws I added can be found Here. Keep in mind that they were added by me and are not a part of the original religion.

End result...
Simply do what is right and you will have nothing to worry about. The Gods and Goddesses you are allied with will be a moral compass which will not misguide you.
