Whitebark Stream an' it harm none

Daylily would have been content to sit and stare out at the world with Dawn all day, but it seemed the leader had other plans. Day turned her head towards Dawn to listen as she spoke, and her ears perked at the question about blessings… and curses. At that last word, her ears pulled back along her skull. “Well,” she began hesitantly, drawing out the word. “The people of Oakstead often ask for blessings in regards to the abundance of prey, a good harvest of crops for our edible plants, things like that. It is, of course, up to the Lord and Lady whether or not they gave out the blessings we ask for.” She shifted, trying to think of more to say. “We can also bless areas, like the borders of our territories, in order to keep negative energy away. We call upon the Lord and the Lady, as well as the four elements, to protect the area.”

Now, about curses. “I’m not really sure what you want to know about curses,” Daylily said hesitantly. She shifted again, clearly uncomfortable speaking of such things. “The people of Oakstead do not believe that curses are ethical. We have ways of protecting ourselves from spiritual attacks like curses, but no one in Oakstead would ever curse anyone. We believe in the Threefold Law: anything you put out into the universe comes back to you three times over. If you put out good things, good things will come back to you; if you… curse somebody, that negative energy will return to you three times over.” She glanced at Dawn, then, wondering where her leader was going with the conversation and hoping she wasn’t about to go off and curse some poor soul.
