#oath

• Abjured — That has been publicly and solemnly renounced, disowned, or withdrawn; (about convictions, oaths, dogmas, or doctrines) officially abandoned before an authority. The term describes the status of a belief or ideology that has undergone a formal recantation.
• To adjure — To earnestly entreat, implore, or insistently request someone to do something, invoking a sacred name, a divine authority, or a solemn oath; also, in ritualistic practices, to command or adjure spirits or demonic forces to obey or depart. Not to be confused with the verb 'abjura' (to renounce a faith).
• Adjuration — The act of adjuring and its result; the solemn commanding, conjuring, or imploring of someone through the invocation of a supreme authority or a sacred oath. In old liturgical treatises, it represented the verbal formula or ritual whereby an exorcist commanded negative spiritual entities to submit to divine order.
• Agraulos — A term of Greek origin historically used as an epithet or proper name relating to outdoor life, fields, or the wilderness. In Greek mythology, it directly references Agraulos (or Aglaurus), one of the daughters of Cecrops, the mythical first king of Athens, serving as a central figure in the military initiation oaths taken by young ephebes.
• Self-imprecatory covenant — A complex ritualistic institution and legal-religious formula whereby a solemn oath of allegiance or alliance is directly and explicitly conditioned by a curse the initiator invokes upon themselves in the event of betrayal. This mechanism of psychological and mystical coercion in traditional societies transforms the pact into an absolute commitment, guaranteed by the fear of physical self-destruction or eternal damnation overseen by the deity.
