MILIL'S DOGMA

Milil is a god of creativity and inspiration, of the whole song more than just the lyrics or the music.  He represents the finished thought, the process that takes an idea from conception to completion.  As a result, the ethos of Milil teaches to consider the world in terms of a continuing process, a song that begins at birth and is only silenced with the final chord.

 Novices in the Mililan faith are given the following charge: "Life is a song: Strive always to make it more beautiful.  Destory no music nor instrument, nor stop a singer before the tune is done.  Listen to the world around as well as filling it with you own sound.  One singer's music is another's noise, and musicianship always.  Sing to Milil everyday.  Music is the most precious thing folks can create--so encourage its training, use, and preservation at all times and in all possible ways.  Awaken a love of song in all folks you can, and offer its performance freely around campfire or on the trail.  Cease not in your own seeking for new tunes, new techniques, and new instruments to master."
