I came across the site Chivalry Today. The legends around medieval knights have always interested me. The romantic legends surrounding King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table have always pointed to a code of behaviour that I think we would be well put to bringing back into use in our world. According to the above web sites, a modern version of the knightly virtues is
- Courage
- Justice
- Mercy
- Generosity
- Faith
- Nobility
- Hope
These virtues are all things that we should strive to acting out in our lives and our interactions with others.
Knighthood is not the only place where we can get virtues. The Druid group ADF has a concept called the nine Druidic virtues
- Wisdom
- Piety
- Vision
- Courage
- Integrity
- Perseverance
- Hospitality
- Moderation
- Fertility
