Although I am not overly attached to ritual, I think that I am going to have to include some of the more formal slave positions in this blog for My slaves to learn and to practise when they attend Me. The reason for this, is so that they display a positive image of their training when in the company of other Masters. So, start practising.
The text and images below have been taken from "Wiltshire Tops" site and much thanks is due to them for the informative text.
We will modify these to suit our household's more informal style. Learn the rules first, and then I will decide what I want you to do and how I want you to use them.
Honour positions
A slave never simply says "Hello" or "Good-bye" to a Master. Such casual, familiar greetings and farewells are normally replaced by PRESENTING—a disciplined, thoughtful process of entering or leaving the Master's presence and control. When a slave greets a Master, he is surrendering himself to the Master's control to at least some extent.
When a slave takes leave of a Master, he is asking to have that control extended beyond the Master's direct presence or to leave that control entirely.
These principles apply whenever the slave enters or leaves any space or room occupied by a Master and whenever a Master enters or leaves any room or space occupied by the slave - if under social conditions a "good bye" would be in order. The full ritual may be waived at the Master's discretion if there is much coming and going in a short space of time, but a slave should always expect and be prepared to PRESENT when entering a Master's space, or vice versa, and to ask permission before leaving (see below) unless he is carrying out a prior order.
 | inspection: |  |
This is a special purpose position. It is similar to the Standing PRESENT except that the knees might be slightly more than shoulder wide; the head is held more upright (to give a good view of the face) with eyes down; and the hands are locked above the head with the thumbs touching the back of the crown of the head | ||
 | full present: |  |
The slave kneels upright, with the knees spread shoulder wide, the hands are crossed behind the back above the arse, like a military "parade rest"; the chest is held forward, wide and strong, and the head is bowed to a 30° angle with eyes down. | ||
 | present: |  |
| The slave stands upright, with the hands are crossed behind the back above the ass, like a military "parade rest"; the chest is held forward, wide and strong, and the head is bowed to a 30° angle with eyes down. | ||
 | honor present: |  |
The same as above except that the slave kneels upright with only the right knee on the ground and the left leg bent. The slave makes his greeting statement then stands (without command). | ||
 | kowtow: |  |
| This position starts in the PLEAD position. The torso is then lowered back to the ground or as close to the ground as possible. It may be necessary to spread the knees a little further apart to accommodate this position. The slave's wrists are usually crossed in this position. KOWTOW is used at the direction of a Master. It is usually a sign of complete submission | ||
 | plead: |  |
| The slave kneels as in the Full PRESENT and places his hands on the floor in front of him so that the first finger of each hand and thumb of each hand touch and form a triangle. the slave then places his forehead on the floor in the triangle formed by his hands. In this position the thighs should be vertical and the back straight. This position may be used when asking a Master for something special. It is also sometimes used as a punishment position | ||
 | beverages: |  |
| Beverages or other items may be served from the Full or Honor PRESENT (or Public PRESENT when in a place where Full or Honor PRESENT would be inappropriate). The item being served is rested on an open hand and steadied using the fingers of the other hand. It should be held at a convenient height for the person being served to take it without having to bend, twist or reach | ||
| at rest: | ||
| At times, slave may be given the treat of being allowed to rest in the Masters presence. slave approaches Master and performs the honor present until The Master invites the slave to adopt its at rest position. slave rests its head on Masters lap/leg and positions it's body in any way it feels comfortable - remembering that it may be there for some considerable time! |
