We see two people currently watching, but not joining the community.
We kindly advise you join, as lurkers will be banned (seeing as we can't remove them after 1 weeks time as the rules state).

Hopefully this won't become a problem -- but what good is a community like this if everybody lurks but doesn't post?

Don't be afraid to join we don't bite.

Just another note: for those seeking to bring drama into the community (if you don't wish to prolong the situation -- THEN DON'T! You don't have to comment to every single thing.) you will be dealt with accordingly. If you already have a strike against you, it's probably best to leave it alone or to take it to the person outside of the community.

If you just have to comment about how much you hate our rules.. you're just going to make yourself look foolish when we just add another strike to your name, aren't you?

Yes. Yes you are.

Ok everyone! Have fun! Let's try to keep this a safe place for everyone, or as many people as possible.

My beliefs seem to be perennially under construction, and in those online "What's Your Religion?" quizzes I test as a Unitarian, but I have spent a lot of time reading up on the modern Wiccan revival, and the single most useful thing to come out of the New Age for me has been the tarot revival.

I have been a solitary student of the tarot since 1991, and studying it and using it has led me into a bunch of interesting places.

Other than that, I really do relate to the "as long as you harm none, do as you will" type of rule.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone, and I totally missed all the recent drama! I guess that's a Good Thing.

(Postscript: My Dreamwidth journal is mostly about X-rated fanfiction, so don't feel compelled to read it or subscribe to me or anything, unless that's also Your Thing. I won't take offense.)

Hi, we're your friendly mods.

We're starting this off with a fresh slate, but we're taking different precautions. Our rules are posted on the profile page.

Members are to be 18 years old and older. If this takes off for the younger crowd, we may make a seperate community, or open this one to younger membership.

So! It's 18 years old and older, so be sure to act like it. Let's be mature. No name calling and any of that.

No insulting Gods or Goddesses, you never know when you might need them!

After talking with the previous mod, we will give others a chance, and we do have a three-strike-rule. Members that were banned previously will have one strike already against them.

Those members are:
jenett - three strikes. Banned. Drama provocation.
elf

Other members that have received strikes are:
brock_tn - one strike. Drama provocation. If you join just to post a comment about how 'bless our hearts' we won't do things your way, we will consider that starting/spreading drama/trolling. For this, you will receive a strike.

We apologize if this upsets you. However, if after 30 days you don't have another strike against you, your strike will be removed. So! Behave yourself and act like a human being and it should be no problem. Please remember that this is for the safety and security of other members. We hold no personal grudges (otherwise we would have banned you outright).

Also, we would like this community to remain active, so we ask that all members post an introduction within one week of joining the community. If no introduction has been made, you will be removed. Feel free to join again though and make your first post!

Brightest Blessings to you all, and may we all prosper!
