These are just common sense - the main 'rule' is to enjoy yourself, and respect others. Failure to comply with these rules will have consequences - but I know you're all good, so there hopefully won't be many 'incidents'. Remember to have fun, and use common sense. 
I Be respectful (to everyone). Our guild's subject can be taken the wrong way. Voice your opinions, but voice them nicely - in other words, no flaming.
II Follow the Gaian rules and ToS. We're a guild, but we're still in Gaia territory.
III Follow the Wiccan Rede - "An it harm none, do what ye will".
IV No posting any black magic sites, spells, books, or information. (Black magic is a term for stuff that will harm or go against a person's free will.) This includes asking/telling how to summon/control demons.
V Please direct all problems to the Mods. If you're unsure who they are, they're listed in the "Meet the Mods" section. wink
VI Randomly advertising for non-guild related things is not permitted: except for in signatures. If you want to advertise, check out the Shameless Advertising thread. Use it well!
VII Keep it real. Try not to over exaggerate, and please, please, please do not make things up. We're serious in what we do, and we mean what we say- if you want to 'roleplay', use the Main Hall subforum.
VIII Enjoy yourself. If you've got an issue/concern, please let us know as soon as possible: we can't fix it if we don't know.
IX If you're participating in a game or contest, follow the threads rules. Breaking game rules is breaking guild rules.
X Don't donate to the guild by using the form on the main page. We appreciate the thought, but we can't use that money and I don't want you wasting it. Keep it, and buy yourself your dream avatar. smile
XI If you're not a crew member, please don't try to be one. We don't appreciate people telling us how to do our jobs.
I No "Post whoring"/"Spamming": don't always go for the last laugh. Try and keep threads on track.
II Please be respectful of your keyboard: no posts in complete capitals, no 1337 5p3ak, etc.
III Please try to keep bad/inappropriate language to a minimum (it can be taken in the wrong context over the internet). This doesn't mean that you can't use any cuss words at all, just be careful how/when you say them. The mods can/will edit out anything they deem inappropriate.
IV Stay away from one word posts and random postings. Keep threads on topic. If you've got something to say that isn't on a thread (yet), or you notice discussion on a particular thread that doesn't belong there: then don't be afraid to create a new thread! People will appreciate it. 3nodding
V Don't create a thread about something that already has a thread (even if it was created by someone else)- AKA "double threading". For instance, we do not need four threads dedicated to dreams~!
VI As well as double threads, steer away from double posting. Double posting is where you post twice in a row without another user's post separating the two. If you've posted, and then remember something you want to add to it hit the edit button. (It is okay to double post in the Sitting Room however.)
VII Keep 'quote towers' to a minimum: use common sense. You don't need to quote if what you're quoting is the post directly above you, and keep regular quotes to about five, depending on length.
VIII Try and run long posts through a spell checker - it makes it easier to read, which means you'll get a better response to your topic.
The first time you break a rule, a reminder will be edited into your post or PMed to you (depending on what rule you broke). The second time you break a rule, you will receive a warning via PM. Once you've been sent 3 warnings via PM, you will be temporarily banned from the guild (for a minimum of 2 weeks). After your temporary ban is over, you can re-apply to the guild, in which all of the mods will discuss whether or not you will be allowed back in. If you're allowed back in the guild you will have one more chance. The first rule you break after one temporary ban will result in a permanent ban from the guild.
The mods have the right to change the order in which you receive these consequences at any time.

Here at Blessed Be, we try our very best to give you what you want. If you aren't getting this, then we're not doing our job.
We need to know if something's bugging you, or if you're itching to see particular content. Please let us know; we're here to help, honest! You can do this a number of ways: start up a new thread, send any of the Mod's a PM or comment on our representatives profile (The_Blessed_Mule). By improving things, it'll mean we're more active: fun and frolics all round. wink
On the note of activity: we'd love it if you were active! You don't need to post everyday; that'd be ridiculous. Just post when you can. If you don't feel like being part of a discussion, then head over to the bump thread in the sitting room, or sign-in on the sign in thread. It's all gold for you after all! smile
We've got several free contests for you to get involved in. They're pretty fun, if I do say so myself. They cost you nothing (weeeell, apart from the Lotto) except your time. But you get paid for that on here - posting is money, and money is time. Time is indeed money, so by taking some time to take part you'll win. If you've got some ideas for more contests, then please, go ahead and suggest some!
Keep in mind that we're a community. We call each other by our real names, give presents on birthdays and help in anyway we can with real-life issues. We try and get to know you; yes you, right there, hiding behind that screen. wink

In our guild, we strive to create a community environment, where everyone is relaxed and feels comfortable talking about their experiences, opinions, and beliefs. However, in any religion, from time to time people will have conflicting beliefs or understandings of the same issues. This is only natural, and often there is no 'wrong view'.
This only becomes a problem when one member cannot accept the views of another. If such a problem arises, and another member makes a post or thread that you find offensive or derogatory, you should PM koudelkaW about it immediately. PM her all offending material (quotes, screenshots), and explain to her why they offend you. From here, this matter is in the hands of the guild crew. Please do not post a response - we understand that you may be upset, but posting a retort will only inflame the matter, and by ignoring the offender, you become the bigger person.
koudelkaW and any other moderators deemed necessary will review the situation and handle it as they see fit. Courses of action can include warnings, suspensions, and even permanent banning, should the situation warrant it. However, we reserve the right to use our own discretion in determining an appropriate punishment, which includes the right to issue no punishment at all should we deem it unnecessary.
Should the offensive party be one of our moderators, then please PM our Captain, koudelkaW, or one of the Vice-Captains who you feel more comfortable with. As moderators, it is our duty to be fair, and objectionable, and being moderators does not give us the right to break any of the guild rules, nor escape punishment for doing so. Even if the offensive member is a moderator, they will recieve no special treatment, and as such, be treated as a regular member would in response to your complaint.
Do not hesitate to PM us if you ever have an issue with any member of this guild, moderator or not: we're here to help. biggrin
We expect you guys to let us know when there is a conflict. We don't want to ban anyone just because they can't get a long with someone else, but we will (and have before) if it goes too far. We encourage healthy debating, not arguing/fighting.

The Academy- This is the place for you to teach and learn. Some of the classes that are currently offered there are Divination, Astrology, Wand Making, Thoughtful/Reflective Meditation, Herbs, Numerology, just to name a few.
The Blessed Be Newstand- This is where all of our guild newspapers can be found. No creating threads in there, please.
The Council's Headquarters- The title says it all. This is where we discuss things that are guild related - such as making it a better place for you guys, and any member issues that may arise. A lot goes in there, and it does get pretty hectic. gonk
The Library- Are you looking for a certain spell? Well, why not try looking in our Library. There are currently lots of spells that can be found here. If you can't find what you're looking for, then you can go ahead and request one in this subforum!
The Guild's Main Forum- This is the forum you're sent to when you click "View Forum" at the top of the guild. This is where all religious/metaphysical/paranormal discussions are held. If it doesn't pertain to some sort of religion/metaphysical/paranormal related thing, then it doesn't belong here.
The Main Hall- This is where all of our contests are held as well as some really funny member-made comics. You can also show off your artistic skills here - films of plays, poems, stories, drawings, DeviantArts.. The list is endless. This is also were roleplays can be held.
The Memoirs- This is basically where we keep the 'old stuff' that is no longer needed, (but is still worth keeping) and previous winners to competitions. Old newsletters, Sabbat celebrations, guild events, winners to competitions.
The Moonlight Market - This is basically the same concept as Gaia's Mini Shops subforums. This is where you can open and run your own shop or service for guild members to make gold!
The Sitting Room- This is pretty much like a chatterbox. You can advertise your quest threads, shop threads, web-sites, chat about real-life, discuss your interests, gain gold, TekTek others - virtually anything! (Pun not intended. wink )
Each sub-forum has it's own rules inside, which I recommend you read before posting. Trust me!

We all have responsibilities. We moderate peoples posts, run contests, issue warnings, behave ourselves, deal with members problems, help you distinguish what black magick is: what spells aren't and are: and if the need arises, we will and can ban you. ninja This is a rare occurrence, so relax. Doesn't give you folks at the back permission to be rowdy though..
Currently, we're not looking for anyone else to join our team, but if you want you can still PM me and register your interest. wink
Here's a brief run-down of all that take part in keeping Blessed Be ticking over nicely. To contact a mod, click on their avatar.
Quote: kaguya-kimimaro1Joined the Guild: October 11th, 2009 Promoted to Crew: February 16th, 2012
Quote: koudelkaWKoudelkaW, aka Ellen or Koud, is our newest Guild Captain. She has also been with the guild for three years. She doesn't remember when she began studying Witchcraft (around 11-13 years possibly), though she has collected a lot of books during those years. She is not entirely a people person, yet she makes an effort to talk to people and to help out whenever she can, so please if you need someone to listen or just want to talk, contact her. smile Joined the Guild: July 2nd, 2006 Promoted to Crew: August 10th, 2008 Promoted to Vice Captain: November 24th, 2008 Promoted to Captain: July 31st, 2009
Quote: The Goddess of EarthThe Goddess of Earth is one of the new crew members; you can call her Jessica. 3nodding She has been interested in Paganism for pretty much her entire life, but really started looking into it about 7 years ago. She's pretty eclectic, as her views on life in general are constantly evolving. On a more personal level, she works with people who have intellectual disabilities and she is hoping to enter into a Master's of Social Work program in the fall (She finds out if she's been accepted in a couple weeks, so keep your fingers crossed! eek ). She has been a part of Wicca: Blessed Be for years, and it has really been a positive influence on how she sees herself as a Pagan. She is hoping that as a part of your crew she can help create the same feeling for others. So....if you need anything guild related, or personal, always feel free to hit her up! heart Joined the Guild: February 3rd, 2008 Promoted to Crew: February 16th, 2012
Quote: zabazorZab is our other new crew member. He loves your PM's, is eager to hear you opinions and concerns, and is raring to help anyone on their pagan path, or any other life path. He is 18 years old, and has been in the craft for about 3-4 years now. He feel that he has learned a lot in that time period, and has developed many philosophies on life, religion, and so on. Here is something he believe very strongly, and may help you feel more comfortable contacting him with problems. ~Religion is a belief system. In this, if you believe it, it is real. At least real enough for you, and I respect that. Joined the Guild:: January 1st, 2008 Promoted to Crew: February 18th, 2010 Promoted to Vice Captain: July 4th, 2011
Quote: The_Blessed_MuleThe_Blessed_Mule is our guild mule, or as I prefer to say guild representative. whee If you wish to donate towards contests, giveaways, birthdays and not sub-forums: then this is the one to trade. Her profile is the place to leave 'testimonials' on the guild - simply leave a comment. Our representative's shop is constantly stocked up with trashies, bugs, tokens and 'junk', and all profit will go towards the aforementioned uses. If you wish to get rid of your junk quickly, then send a trade over to this 'un. wink After all - what you get out, is what you put in..
Quote: Blessed_Scribe...and onto our next candidate, Blessed_Scribe. If you wish to be on the newsletter staff, the please head on over to The Blessed Be Newstand and fill out this application!
Quote: Lotto_MagickAs her name suggests, she's in charge of the guild's lotto. The tickets are cheap. The jackpot is huge. So go buy your tickets!

If you wish to input your input, then pop along to The Blessed Mule's profile, and leave a comment. whee
Here's some of the feedback we've received so far...
Lucifer Kiss This guild is so wonderful; it's full of nice people who are ready to help you in an instant. It's a good place to learn and also a good place to have fun. If your looking for a wicca guild, this is the place for you!
Healer Wolfstar This guild is fantastic. The people who belong can always help you, if you have questions. Someone is always there with help and advice. We are a very diverse group of people of all ages and we come from all over the world. The discussions are learning experiences. We also have a good time. Giggles and such. No one will ever condemn you for your opinion. We are all very open minded. Lively discussions, giggles and knowledge what else can you ask from a guild. smile
Kayne Aiya This guild is le awesome-ness.lol. It's a hott place to learn about Wicca and chat about things either concerning it or anything like that. It's place to be, in my opinion. Hott-ness in a bottle, yes.lol To be little more serious, this guild is probably a great place for anyone to be. I'm a newbie to Wicca ( metaphorically.......and I guess Literally) and I know I've learned a whole bunch here. The lessons are awesome, and really informative. The people giving the lessons, and the owners and such, are really freindly and aren't afraid to show you how it's done.lol. Listen to me and join up.lol. It's a decision you wont soon regret. ^^

- http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/registered-guilds/ad-recruiting-wicca-blessed-be-active-and-friendly/t.33258015/.
It would be appreciated if you could please spend some time there bumping: more members means more fun, threads, ideas, discussions.. the list goes on. wink However, don't bump too much as it's a slow-moving forum - we could get in trouble for it..
Thanks!
Just keep in mind that we're looking for people who are already Wiccan/ interested in that area - we don't want to be seeking to turn people into Wicca if they're not interested. By advertising and 'recruiting' we are just spreading the word out for the current Wiccans on Gaia, not trying to get people to become Wiccan.

At the beginning of every two months, our guild releases a newspaper. 3nodding
Examples of previous newsletters can be found here.
We can't pull off all of this by ourselves though. We need your input. biggrin The thing we need the most is your creations - art work, poetry, stories, etc, or any Wiccan Experiences you've had. smile We'd love you forever if you sent in any of those - and you'd be famous! (To submit, please send me a message.)
If you want to be on the newsletter team, then please head on over to this thread to grap an application.

Bide the Wiccan Laws ye must In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust.
Live an’ let live - Fairly take an’ fairly give.
Cast the Circle thrice about To keep all evil spirits out.
To bind the spell every time - Let the spell be spake in rhyme.
Soft of eye an’ light of touch - Speak little, listen much.
Deosil go by the waxing Moon - Sing and dance the Wiccan rune.
Widdershins go when the Moon doth wane, An’ the Werewolf howls by the dread Wolfsbane.
When the Lady’s Moon is new, Kiss thy hand to Her times two.
When the Moon rides at Her peak Then your heart’s desire seek.
Heed the Northwind’s mighty gale - Lock the door and drop the sail.
When the wind comes from the South, Love will kiss thee on the mouth.
When the wind blows from the East, Expect the new and set the feast.
When the West wind blows o’er thee, Departed spirits restless be.
Nine woods in the Cauldron go - Burn them quick an’ burn them slow.
Elder be ye Lady’s tree - Burn it not or cursed ye’ll be.
When the Wheel begins to turn - Let the Beltane fires burn.
When the Wheel has turned a Yule, Light the Log an’ let Pan rule.
Heed ye flower bush an’ tree - By the Lady Blessèd Be.
Where the rippling waters go Cast a stone an’ truth ye’ll know.
When ye have need, Hearken not to others greed.
With the fool no season spend Or be counted as his friend.
Merry meet an’ merry part - Bright the cheeks an’ warm the heart.
Mind the Threefold Law ye should - Three times bad an’ three times good.
When misfortune is enow, Wear the Blue Star on thy brow.
True in love ever be Unless thy lover’s false to thee.
Eight words ye Wiccan Rede fulfill - An’ it harm none, Do what ye will.

2: That there is above all the Goddess in her three-fold aspect and many are her names.
With all her names we call her Maiden, Mother and Crone.
3: That there is the God, consort and son, giver of strength and most willing of sacrifice.
4: That and it harm none, do what ye will shall be the law.
5: That each of her children are bound by the three-fold law and that whatever we create, be it joy or sorrow, laughter or pain, is brought back to us three-fold.
6: That as she is the mother of all living things and we are all her children, we seek to live in harmony not only with each other, but with the planet earth that is our womb and home.
7: That life upon the earth is not a burden to be born, but a joy to be learned and shared with others.
8: That death is not an ending of existence, but a step in the on-going process of life.
9: That there is no sacrifice of blood, for She is the mother of all living things, and from her all things proceed and unto her all things must return.
10: That each and everyone of the children who follow this path has no need of another between themselves and the Goddess, but may find Her within themselves.
11: That there shall not by intent be a desecration of another's symbols of beliefs, for we are all seeking harmony within the One.
12: That each person's faith is private unto themselves and that another's
belief is not to be set out and made public.
13: That the Wiccan way is not to seek converts, but that the way be made open to those who for reasons of their own seek and find the Craft.
14: And as it is willed, so mote it be.
