Watain Disciples Divisions
Brothers and sisters —
I thought I would post the below information for anyone residing in a country that doesn’t yet have an active WDWW Division and is interested in the process of starting one.
Currently, the Divisions recognized by the WDWW are as follows –
· AUSTRALIAN DIVISION
· ÖSTERREICH DIVISION
· STATESIDE DIVISION
· GERMAN DIVISION
· U.K. WULFHERE
· RUSSIAN DIVISION
· NORWEGIAN DIVISION
· HELLENIC DIVISION
· FRENCH DIVISION
· DUTCH DIVISION
· DACIAN DIVISION
· LUPUS TRIDENTIS SWEDEN
FORMING A LOCAL DIVISION
The following are the guidelines and bylaws of forming and running a local Division of The Black Metal Militia.
The main philosophy behind creating Divisions to the club, is to provide fellowship between club members, solidarity against enemies and a means to provide the band with the many things they require while on tour; but first and foremost, a way to show our numbers of united, committed, bloodthirsty brethren around the world.
We hope to represent and create a presence in as many territories as possible, but alas, there can be only one Division per country.
We are searching for competent devotees to carry out The Devil's work. Please read everything very closely, as your appointment relies heavily upon your ability to lead, as well as follow instructions.
Divisions must be comprised of at least 3 numbered Disciples who are in good standing with the club. These Disciples names, numbers and current mailing addresses must all be submitted to president@wataindisciplesworldwide.com prior to initiation into a Division. Each member must be a resident of the country in which the Division is being formed.
Duties of the club will include organizing en masse, your Division for local events, concerts, but most importantly when Watain performs in your territory. One of the crucial roles of the Divisions is to add to the Watain performances in their region by supplying certain ingredients to the show. Some of these are specific in nature but individually motivated tokens of allegiance from each division are encouraged as well.
Most duties will be performed or handed down by The Division President.
DIVISION PRESIDENTS
There will be one President within each Division, who will answer to and communicate with the powers that be, as well as formulate plans and activities for their chapter.
The President will be the appointed individual who deals with both the club hierarchy, as well as band and/or crew. It is the responsibility of the Division President to handle all communiques between their respective Divisions and Heads of Disciples Worldwide. The Presidents will also be the ones who share information amongst their Division members and interdivisional communication as well. They are the individuals who will organize and be ultimately accountable for what their Division accomplishes.
All members MUST have full Death Dealer Status.
President applications will be considered based on past involvement with the club, dedication, but most importantly, independence and internal fire.
Applications for Division presidency must include your current mailing address, Disciple number, territory you wish to preside over and a brief description of why you would make the best candidate.
Once a Division President has been elected, he/she can then begin to appoint his/her staff, if they choose to do so, but is not mandatory. They may also begin adding members.
Each Division President will have a link to their (chosen) email address posted on The Disciples website, so that prospective members can contact their local chapter directly. Initiation activities will be left to the President of each group.
Ranks, patches and all other matters will be dealt with once the Presidents have been assigned.
Please submit your application and information to president@wataindisciplesworldwide.com.
Information regarding Division Patch requirements will be discussed at the time of approval.
