The guardian serves and protects the well-being and vitality of 
the people while looking on to the unborn seventh generation 
and harkening back to the subtle wisdom of the ancestors. The 
guardian is not a soldier or warrior in the civilized sense, and 
is not concerned with vanquishing or conquering enemies. The 
guardian serves no rulers, rather, he serves the circle with 
guidance from his elders. In the old ways of our hunting and 
foraging ancestors, the guardian serves not only his human 
kin, but all his kindred -- all of his relations. Only when the 
whole circle is strong can the lasting well-being of the people be 
assured.
