 I know we all hate having rules so I've taken most of them out!
I think we're all mature enough to know right from wrong,
so why have the constant reminder right? Below are just basic stuff...my main concern is the
copyright information, having your email settings adjusted,
and just your basic A/S/L.
A lot more simple huh?
And yes...I did get rid of the MSN thing. Most of us have been
with MSN a long while now and know what their rules are. 
Group Etiquettes 1.) Once you have been accepted to the group, please take the time to make sure your email address is hidden and that you have your Messages set to "View On Web". If you have a red star by
your name it tells me you receive all the posts from
here to your inbox, please change those settings or
you're the one that will end up with up 50+ posts
in your email account. You can change that by clicking on your Members Tools. You have 48 hours in which to do that, if it has not been done, then you will be sent one reminder email. If after that it is still not done, then your membership will be cancelled. You will be given the opportunity to reapply if you can make sure you can do these two things.
If upon rejoining it is still not done,
you will again be cancelled without the option
of reapplying to the group. 2.) We do not expect a full profile, but it would be nice to know your A/S/L at least.
If you click HERE you can do that with ease,
and you won't have to worry about your msn profile. 3.) We do have a Banner Exchange so if you
would like to have your link or banner added
just let us know and we can add it to the page.
Out of respect all we ask is that you add our
Banner to your group. Please do not post a link to
your msn/yahoo group or any other group on the
general board unless you have the ok by the managers. Thank you! 4.) I'm not going to be like most groups and tell you that you can't post partially nude graphics...ie: siggies. So long as the major parts are covered and it is tasteful then I will allow it. The only other requirement I have is that it is copyrighted accordingly. I will allow tags with the art work of licensed artists, so long as the proper information is visible and readable
That includes their URL, © symbol beside their
name as well as YOUR license number. If the
artist has adult content on his/her site then check
with them, usually you'll be allowed to get away
with not adding their URL, just their name.
If none of this is provided then I will delete the post. No boobs, coochies, or butt's please! Keep it tasteful! Look below for an extensive explanation
as to what will be deleted.
1. No visible copyright information. Including Artist's name and URL. The only way you DO NOT need to add a URL to your tag is when there are adult content on the artist's website. At that point a simple ©Artist's name will do. MSN TOU say so! 2. If the artist is a Pay to Use, meaning he/she belongs with CILM, AMI, MyPSPTubes, or any of the other licensing companies and there is not a visible license number on the tag, it will be deleted. 3. You have used a siggie created with the art of an artist that does NOT allow his/her work to be used for such things. 4. You have used a siggie, but the artist's copyright information isn't there, and someone else has decided to claim the art for him/herself. That is a huge no no and we will not tolerate that. 5. I know I don't have to worry about this, everyone here is really good about the content of their tag, but as a reminder to all the new members joining, if we feel the tag is far too explicit we will delete it. We don't mind mature sensual, sexy tags, so long as the naughty parts are all covered somehow. 6. Tags that were made by artists that once did give permission but have since then revoked permissions or have gone and joined a licensing company. Unfortunately once they do that, we have to cease using their work. No matter if they did once give permission. Sucks I know, I've had to toss a bunch of tags and will have to go through all mine again soon! 7. The "tagged by..." person doesn't use the copyright sign in their "tagged by..." name. That is agaist all TOU, artist and MSN. Meaning this is a no no "Tagged by ©Rina" I would get shot for that, it simply has to be "Tagged by Rina" and that's it! 8. No 2 or more artists in the same tag. You CANNONT combine the artwork of mulitple artists. It is against TOU. If you ad something from ©Rainbow Coffi to a tag that's fine I do believe they allow that. If your entire tag is by ©Rainbow Coffi then you will have to add the copyright information. If you use stock photo's by sites that allow a general permission like Stock Exchange then you will have to make a mention of the fact that the photo was supplied by....Read the artist's TOU and memorize it or bookmark it so you can go back and reread it if neccessary. Some will allow stock photo to be used with their art, some won't. 9. NO blank snags are to be offered by artists that are Pay to Use. There has to be wording of some sort or a name on it. It can't just be a blank tag with no text. None of the Pay to Use companies allow that.
*Management has the right and responsibility to delete any and all questionable tags
for the safety of the group as well as the members*
5.) Heed the Creed for it is the Law but most of all
don't be afraid to be yourself and to have fun! Blessed Be. Background and Graphics Assembled by ©Lady Raven Graphics.

 Bide ye the Wiccan Laws ye must.
In perfect love and perfect trust.
Ye must live and let live,
Fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the circle thrice about,
To keep unwelcome spirits out.
To bind the spell well every time,
Let the spell be spoken in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch,
Speak ye little and listen much.
Deosil go by waxing moon,
Chanting out the Wiccan runes.
Widdershins go by waning moon,
Chanting out the baneful tune.
When her Lady's moon is new,
Kiss the hand to Her times two.
When the moon rides at Her peak,
Then the hearts desire seek.
Heed the North winds mighty gale,
Lock the door and trim the sail.
When the wind comes from the South,
Love will kiss thee on the mouth.
When the Moor wind blows from the West,
Departed spirits have no rest.
When the winds blow from the East,
Expect the new and set the feast.
Nine woods in the cauldron go,
Burn them quick and burn them slow.
Elder be the Lady's tree,
Burn it not or cursed ye'll be.
When the wheel has turned to Yule,
Light the log and the Horned One rule.
Heed ye flower, bush, and tree,
By the Lady, Blessed Be!
Where the rippling waters go,
Cast a stone and the truth to know.
When Ye have and hold a need,
Hearken not the other's greed.
With a fool no season's spend,
Or be counted as his friend.
Merry meet and merry part,
Bright the cheeks and warm the heart.
Mind the threefold law ye should,
Three times bad and Three times good.
When misfortune is enow,
Wear the blue star on thy brow.
True in love ye must ever be,
Lest thy love be false to thee.
These words the Wiccan Rede fulfill,
And ye harm none do what ye will.  Background and Graphics Assembled by ©Lady Raven Graphics 2008

 Hear now the word of the Witch,
the secrets once hid in the night,
When darkness was for protection,
We now bring forth in the light. Mysteries of the Water and Fire,
The Earth and the wide-ranging Air,
By hidden Quintessence we know them,
and we bring honor in silence and fair. The birth and rebirth of all Nature,
the passing of Winter and Spring,
We share with the life Universal,
rejoicing in the never-ending Ring Four times in the year we give homage,
come forth the Witches are seen,
At Lammas and Candlemas we're dancing,
so too on May Eve and old Halloween When daytime and nighttime are equal,
when sun is at it's greatest and least,
The four lesser Sabbats are summoned,
again the Witches gather in feast. Thirteen silver moons in a year,
thirteen to be the magikal array,
Thirteen times at Esbat we make merry,
for the work of the night and the day. The knowledge has passed down the ages,
each time between woman and man
Each century unto the other,
old times since the ages began. When drawn in the Magikal circle,
by sword or athame of light,
It's compass between two worlds opens,
in honor and love for this night. Our world has no right to know it,
and the world beyond will tell naught,
The oldest of Gods are invoked there,
the great work of light's Magik is wrought. For two are the mystical pillars,
that stand at the gate of the shrine,
And two are the powers of Nature,
the forms and the forces divine. Do what thou wilt be the challenge,
so be it in love that harms none,
For this is the only commandment,
By wisdom of faith so let it be done. In these words the Witches Rede fulfills:
And in it harm none, Do what Thou Will!  Background and Graphics Assembled by ©Lady Raven Graphics 2008

Merry Meet! My name is Marina and I am a 34 year old wych living in Vancouver, BC Canada.
My full title would be;
Elder and High Priestess, Lady Marina Aurora Raven
Duchess, of the house of Ravens.
I am also a High Priestess of Odin and Hecate. Happily married to Darkwolf Raven and we have two beautiful daughters and a fur baby named Salem.
I've always known that I was different and after finally being able to do my own soul searching and knowledge seeking I came upon my current path. Although I've been a wych all my life, I've been actively practicing now for 8 years. I am also the Elder and High Priestess of the coven that this group is named after. If you look around, you will learn a lot about the history of our coven as well as meet the other coven members.
I'm really happy that you're here and I do look forward to getting to know you.
Be safe and keep smiling.
Merry Part and Blessed Be. Greetings and Merry Meet I am the High Priest of Astarte and Hecate Of The House of Ravens.
I decend for a strong line of Gualic/celtic wychs and have been in the craft now including training almost 28 winters. I follow the path of grey majick which my family has dubbed the path of shadows for I practice
niether light nor dark; but both for I walk between them. If you have any questions at all please find your way
via The Magick of the Shadows to The Library of The Mist and post you iquires there. Forever in your service   Hello! My name is Morgan Cerridwen Raven. I am single, 38 years old and live with my two fur babies (1 in spirit form) in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I am likely one of the oddest assistant managers at Yggdrasil, because I am not a witch! I am a member of the coven for which this group is named. The high priestess appointed me to be the Maiden, and I am thankful for the gracious acceptance of the other members of the coven. I was raised and educated as a Christian, and still hold many of those traditions and beliefs near and dear to my heart. However ... I do not presume to know everything about the God I follow or the world He created, thus I remain open to many things spiritual. The path set for my life is uniquely mine and I respect all others who earnestly follow their own. I thirst for knowledge and eagerly seek those who are open-minded and live their lives respectfully, honestly and are non-judgemental of others. If you have any questions or concerns, please seek me out and I will do my best to assist. Looking forward to getting to know you all! Many blessings.

Merry Meet,
My name is Kari. I am a witch.
I have very many gifts such as empath.
I'm still learning about these gifts, and these gifts lead me into researching.
I knew from the time I was young that I was not like the other children.
Strange things happened with my temper. I found when I was angry lights would go out.
Other times I'd have a dream and it'd come true.
Later I started to feel people. Not only that I have a very close connection with people whom are no longer alive.
I believe that I have been around many times.
There are lots of things yet to learn and I look forward in being part of this journey with you as we all learn together.
Merry part, and Blessed Be
Hi, I am LadyShadowSpirit aka Vikki. I have been a practicing Solitary Wych for over ten years or more. I have always known my path since I was a little girl since my Grandfather was a shaman in the Cherokee Tribe when I was a young girl up until he passed away. I am married to a very sweet man Ron, I have one teenage son Keven who is the light of my life. I am also blessed with Three fur babies Polly(doggy), Faula, and Rascal.(kitties) They sure keep me on my toes at all times. We live in a small town in Washington State by the name of Deer Park and the name will give you the indication of why it was named as such. I am an Assistant Manager here at The Raven Wyches of Yggdrasil and I will be so happy to help you if you may need anything. Love and Light  Hi folks and how are you? My name is Kleo and i am the Baroness of the House of Ravens and the new Assistant Manager (again) here at Raven Wyches. I am 31 yrs young and happily handfasted to the Baron Malak Trizan whom you will rarely see in here cos he's not sociable...lol. Anyhow, moving on...I am a part time cashier, a part time student and a part time mom of 4 kids, two of which are my own and live in Ontario with their father. The other two darlings are the Barons boys and like my own they are the lights of my life. Now we can't leave out the furry child Xena who is as dear to me as the kids and also just as needy...haha. She is 5 yrs old and has been a member of our family since she left the litter. I moved from Ontario and now live in Surrey BC and am very happy. Ok, how i became a wych. My mother was one, her mother was one and i have no doubt my daughter will be seeing as she has already shown some of her gifts. I have a few gifts that i am learning more and more to control such as my influence on the weather, and my ability to empathize not only with people but with animals. Not to mention my intuition which is the strongest of all. I did not know what these all were until i read some books and realized i wasn't the only one. Then i met the ravens and here i am. Everyday i learn something new and can't wait to see what i will learn tomorrow. With the help of my coven and this group and Rina who i am studying under i hope to be more in tune with my craft my life and myself. Lets learn together, and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. Kleo Raven Trizan Background and Graphics Designed by ©Lady Raven Graphics 2008

 I am a Witch
With rhymes and reasons.
I am a changeling like the seasons.
My mother is the Moon,
My father is the Sun,
With Goddess Earth am I as one. I am a Witch, a Pagan child.
Mother Nature's spirit wild
Grows within me, Flows within me,
Meandering like a spellbound stream,
Enchanting my every waking dream. I breathe the air of liberation,
I tend the fire of transformation,
I drink the water of creation,
Earth-magick is my conjuration. I am a Witch of shadow and light,
Of Avalon mists and ravens' flight.
I am a Witch, with pride say I,
For a Witch's soul does never die. Background and Graphics assembled by ©Lady Raven Graphics 2008 with the scraps of ©Cinnamon Scraps and poem by ©Gerina Dunwich
