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.
