Tal,

Welcome to the Den of the Blue Rose our Home Stone in this little slice of the interwebs. We are a Gorean Home Stone located in Flint, Michigan and our focus is on education and training. Not just in the Gorean lifestyle but in many aspect of kink as well. I was first introduced to the Gorean lifestyle back at the tail end of 1998 and became Gorean in early 1999. The Home Stone I was originally apart of was highly invested in the education of those who wish to become members, education not only in Gorean but also in kink. Over the years I have witnessed many Home Stones get swept away in the tides of time, lose of community, the pandemic and many more due to misconceptions about Gorean being pushed by toxic and dangerous people. I have said several times already, Gorean lifestyle as it is a lifestyle not a kink. Gorean is who we are kink is what some of us do. You have Goreans who are kinky and you have those who are not, and yes Gorean is a type of Master slave dynamic, that dynamic may not include kink. Yes all Gorean Masters are Dominant, but not all Dominants are Gorean Masters just as while all kajira and kajirus are submissives not all submissives are kajira and kajirus. A common theme that we see is that to be Gorean you have to have kajira (slave) and they use the books as an excuse to treat those kajira like trash. THIS IS NOT GOREAN. Yes the books have scenes of kidnapping, rape, breaking someone's will thru the whip, this is fantasy. If you do this may you get the maximum amount of time in prison as possible. Real life Gorean is based around Honor, Integrity, Strength, Truth and Freedom. It's about working to become strong enough to claim your freedom to be who you truly are. Be it Master, free person, kajira or kajirus. It is about living your life with honor and integrity in all your dealing with people from all walks of life and pushing yourself to be the best you can be in life and in your role. The Gorean lifestyle is not an easy path to walk. Many do not have what it takes to hold themselves accountable for their transgressions and to act with honor. It is a worthwhile process though.

Thank you for taking the time to read and of you have any questions feel free to ask. Until next time.
