Every Coven should have some rules that people can look at so they know what sort of conduct is appropriate or inappropriate for members, and
knowing them being helpful to harmony and fellowship within Coven. Here are a few that I am thinking about instituting:

No coven member shall consume their weight in beans before arriving for ritual.

This has happened in the past, and the results can be devastating. It is unpleasant when 32 cubic yards of methane are unexpectedly released into the atmosphere within Circle, and other Coven members begin dropping to the floor unconscious, turning blue, gasping for air and struggling to keep from being overcome by the vapor. Add to this, the presence of the open flame of the candles on the altar and the quarter candles. Several years ago, the north wall of our altar room was blown clear out when the methane expelled was detonated by the flame of a single candle and the explosion that followed interrupted our rites. Please be considerate of others, and make every effort not to render them victims of a tragic episode, particularly as the Guardian of air is called. We evoke the power of the winds, but make every effort not to break wind.

Some people feel a need to wear something on their feet while attending ritual.

It is suggested that slippers or socks might be acceptable. However, showing up for a skyclad ritual wearing nothing but cowboy boots is utterly unacceptable. This is particularly true if there should be actual shit clinging to those shit kickers!!!! This will definitely be frowned upon.

If the rite is to be skyclad, please remember your position in space in relation to the candles.

While folks of another religion may appreciate the odd burning bush, we have noted this can lead to negative effects upon a Covener who carelessly fails to exercise due caution, and inadvertently ignites their genitalia! Remember folks, "Never Again the Burning Times"also applies to Witches in our Circle.

When skyclad rites are conducted do not pluck a handful of hair from between the cheeks of the High Priest while his back is turned.

I would remind everyone that Rogaine is fairly expensive, and difficult to apply to one's backside. Worse, creates the possibility some embarrassing moments. For example: Your High Priest was recently visiting a distant city and stayed in a motel near the interstate. Can you imagine the awkward moment which ensued when the maid entered the room to change the linen, only to find your High Priest standing on a chair with his pants bunched up in a pile around his ankles, his butt reflected in a mirror, as he tried with questionable results to aim the spray at his derriere? Oh, sure, we can laugh about it now... but such misfortunes present your High Priest with great dismay!

Please use deodorant before arriving for ritual.

As we all raise our arms in welcome to the Lord and Lady, it would be nice if they are not dropped from the sky by an assault on their senses that leaves them crashing into the Circle by an unexpected blast that renders them incapacitated. If this can have that sort of effect upon the Gods themselves, how much more likely would it be to immobilize your brothers and sisters in Circle???

When doing robed rituals, please lend some consideration to the material of which your robes are made.

Nogahyde is right out, as are robes that faintly resemble the battle regalia of Atilla the Hun! Similarly, while it may be cute, a robe festooned with images of Homer Simpson, Bart, and the rest of the Simpson family... are contrary to the atmosphere we are attempting to establish.

Do not wear combat boots in Circle.

When doing rituals as a group outdoors, you will likely need something on your feet, but we tend to take a dim view of combat boots in Circle. It tends to establish the wrong ambiance.

Curb your guide dog prior to circle.

If you are visually impaired, and must be accompanied into Circle by a guide dog, please make certain the animal has accomplished all of its duties outdoors, rather than simply showing up in the altar room and hoping for the best.

Keep your dog by you!

On a similar note, it is nice if the animal is neutered. While it may be funny to see a Coven member trying to participate in a Spiral dance with your dog affixed to his leg, the Coven member is likely to form a resentment. Familiars are wonderful helpers to the Witch, so long as they do not become overly familiar!!!!

Don't score the High Priest and High Priestess!

Your High Priest and High Priestess, while appreciating the compliment, are nevertheless apt to take a dim view of their Coveners holding signs which have 9.3, 8.6, 9.5, 7.9 and such relating to performance and style points. Please remember this is Witchcraft, not the ABC Wide World of Sports!!!

We will keep you apprised of any other rules which may need to be implemented as the need arises

 

***i am not sure where this originated from but it is funny****

i am married to a catholic, and well he isn't judgemental and even shows interest in some aspects of magick... but his mother.... well me and her go rounds in fact when she comes to visit either she stays in a hotel or i stay in a hotel, which hasn't happend but if it ever does.... ok so anyway the reason is she is not really all that smart any way and trys to tell me how to handle my life and what to do for my husband and this and that drives me crazy!! i know what you are all thinking that is just how a mother is when her first child gets married blah blah. well no she dumped her 8 kids my husband being the oldest and the youngest is 3 on her parents doesn't spend anymore time with the kids then a few hours doesn't help feed them cloth them nothing my husband grew up not knowing who is mom was until he was about 5 years old and she wanted nothing to do with him until he joined then army cuz now she thinks he has money.

One thing that i constantly hear from her is that i am gothic now if you haven't seen my pictures then you should really go look, now i dunno why that bothers me cuz she must not know what gothic is.......... right. i think i have maybe 3 or 4 black shirts and thats it.... i am a typical girly girl i like pinks and purples and reds and glitter if it has glitter on it i will probbaly wear it. and i try to correct her and omg she acts like i just called fat or something. now i think she gets the gothic mixed up with wiccan but really where does that stereo type come from??? in fact most wiccans i know aren't gothics!! 

disclaimer: first off i have nothing against gothic people. one of my best friends is one so. secondly i have been now to bitch alot on my blogs so please forgive me i usually do feel better after the ranting and raving everyone should try it "wink wink"

 I am very bored right now, i suppose i could be cleaning house and doing the dishes etc.. but i am trying to prove a point my husband is gone most of the day and i am also gone most of the day im suppose to work part time but i end up there about 6-7 hrs a day 6 days a week, and we have my brother n law living with us and he doesn't do anything he won't get a job or go to school he expects me to have made something for him to eat when he gets up he is even to lazy to take our puppy outside when she has to go, of course i say something to him about it to clean up after himself take the damn dog out and if he is the only that eats here then wash the damn dishes do something staying here should not be free for him it isn't free for me even when i didn't have a job i cook 3 meals a day i was constantly baking for all his buddies making cooks and breads, working in the vegetable garden, washing, dishes, and clothes.... but i can't even get him to pick up the pillows he throws off the couch so the puppy doesn't chew them they belong on the couch after all... no matter what i say he runs to my husband and i am in the wrong everytime and so me and my husband argue!! my side what i am suppose to do when he leaves for iraq for the year i can't get the brother n law to listen to me.. he smokes in the house,  is constantly mean to the animals, he won't clean, he runs up the phone bill, and my husbands side i am being to hard on him.... well its gonna be me and him here alone pretty soon and i am not going to put up with that he shows no respect for me or my house.  and to make it worse my husband every two weeks gives him a good chunk or money i think last pay day he gave him 80 dollars and that makes me mad he doesn't do anything to deserve that. i had to get a job because its to hard to get by on one income and he goes and gives the money away.
