The Mistress' Creed

1) Above all else a Mistress cherishes Her slave, in the knowledge that the gift the slave gives Her is the greatest gift of all.

2) A Mistress is demanding and takes full advantage of the power given to Her, but knows how to share the pleasure that comes from that precious gift.

3) A Mistress is in control of Herself first and foremost, so that She may control others.

4) As a stern and demanding Mistress, She can cause Her slave to cry real tears. As the consummate lover, She will then kiss the tears away, without stepping out of character.

5) In times of trouble, a Mistress will leave the roles behind, to be a supportive friend and partner, never forgetting that this is still a loving relationship between two caring individuals.

6) A Mistress is quick to understand the differences between fantasy and reality. She would never ask a slave to put Her before her career or family, just to satisfy Her own pleasure.

7) To win a slave’s body, mind, spirit, soul and love, a Mistress knows She must first win her trust. She will show Her slave humor, kindness and warmth.

8) A Mistress must always show Her slave that Her guidance and tutoring is knowledgeable and deserving of her attention, that She is a Woman she can learn from, and that she can trust Her direction.

9) A Mistress is romantic enough to be protective and chivalrous. When called upon, She will fight for Her slave’s honor. She proves to Her slave that She is someone she can lean on, and depend on.

10) When it comes time to teach Her slave her lessons of obedience, a Mistress is a strong and unyielding teacher. She will accept no flaw. Nothing less than perfection from Her student.

11) Never does a Mistress use discipline without a good reason. When She punishes Her slave, it is always with a knowledgeable and careful hand.

12) A Mistress is always open to communication and discussion; always ready to hear Her slave’s wants and needs.

13) A Mistress is patient; taking time to learn Her slave’s limits, and knowing that as her trust of Her grows, so will T/they.

14) A Mistress never has to demand ritual behavior from Her slave. Her slave responds to Her out of the want of pleasing Her. Compliance comes from the wanting to please, not the fear of punishment.

15) A Mistress understands the fragile nature of body and mind, and never violates the trust given to Her.

16) A Mistress is secure enough to laugh at Herself and the absurdities of life. Open minded enough to learn new things. Strong enough to grow.

17) A Mistress’s tools are body, mind, spirit, soul and love. She understands that E/each P/partner gains most from pleasuring the O/other. And B/both of T/them know that love and trust are the only bindings that truly hold.
