Merry meet, and welcome to the guild’s second instalment of the newsletter!
It seemed that the last issue/trial run was a success – this means that the guild will permanently have a newsletter running, with proper ‘staff’ and all those nifty gimmicks. For more information on this – please check out this thread. By submitting an article or applying for a ‘job’ you’ll receive one lotto ticket, 100 gold and will go into the draw to win 5k. That means you could potentially win 25k, all up!
Now, I bet you’re all wondering what the answer was to the fun spot from last issue. That – or you’ve completely forgotten all about it! To jog your memory, here’s the image:
Elspeth (healerweaver) was the first correct entry in, receiving 1k. Congratulations! ((The runes say ‘preliminary proliferation’ – try saying that when you’re not sober!))
We’ve recently established a ‘names’ list, in the Sitting Room. This is quite simply, a list of all our members’ real names, to create more of a ‘community’ feel than there already is. So far we have four Sarah’s! ^^;
Alright guys, if you've checked the announcements in that last little while, you'll hear tell of a Dream Interpretation Service. Sounds nifty, eh? What we're wanting from you is your feedback- we want to here what you’ve got to say, and you could be up to grab 1000g . I bet that got your attention, didn't it? But more on that later.
Our big questions are:
- 1) A Dream Interpretation Service: what do you think?
2) Would you use it?
3) What kind of prices do you think are reasonable?
4) We're thinking of offering 'gift vouchers' as well- so you can give someone a dream interpretation as a gift. What do you think of this idea?
5) Are you able to, and would you be interested in helping?
6) Should interpretations be conducted within the thread, or done privately through PM?
- Where does the money go?
Right back to you guys- all money made by this service will fund prizes for competitions, the birthday service, giveaways and the like.
What prices are you planning at the moment?
We're thinking of going by a system of 'number of symbols'- a symbol being a 'keyword' (as such) of the dream. Each symbol would cost somewhere between 25g and 50g- we're aiming for a standard interpretation to cost 250g, we think, but this may change.
Who should I send my ideas and such?
Jess (JVCA) is going to run this service for the most part, but all of our Council Members are more than happy to hear anything you've got to say about it.
Where will it be?
Probably in the 'Services' sub forum in the mini-shop forum – if it becomes popular, it may pop up in a sub-forum actually in the guild.
What was this about a competition!? I want money!
Ah, that's right. Thought I'd forget about that, didja? wink
If you've got a good name, and are willing to enter, send your entry to Dream Reader via PM with "What's in a Name Contest" as the subject. May the best pagan win!
- ((Don't forget to include your filled out form! You don't need to have a name to fill out the questionnaire - but it's worth a shot, right?))
Do you remember us asking for articles and content for this issue? Thanks to Jess (JVCA), we do actually have some! Below are three examples of her work.
Don’t forget – by submitting for next time, you get good advertisement for your mini-shop (if you have one) and some goodies along the way!
Wow – a big congratulations to the following. whee Thank you to everyone who took part in all the various contests – and good luck for next time! To see what contests we have available, pop along to the Main Hall.
Spell of the Month
- Home protection spell
- Say this before you go to sleep, or at sundown.
"Earth, hold foundations strong,
Air move energies along,
Fire, pass my home this night,
Water, protect until morn's light,
Guardians of the towers four,
Protect this home forever more,
As is above, so is below,
As such the God and Goddess know,
By the power of three times three,
As I will it, so mote it be."
~JVCA
- The Elementals
- Heat and warmth is what he does
And to light the lonely dark
In every heart he resides
And to comfort even the lark
To cool and calm is what she does
Flowing slowly by
Falling down upon the Earth
Controlled across the nigh
To grow and provide is what she does
Giving nutrients to the plants
What she does is taken from her
Even by the ants
To blow and change is what he does
To give birds their flight
Giving breath to the living things
Even in the night

Since the last issue, a bunch of stuff has taken place. Just a few are:
- - a sister guild! ^_^ Check out Avalon today.
- new sub-forum organisation.
- the Lotto being re-vamped: you can now win 20,000!
- some nifty new signature banners, courtesy of Jen.
From now-onwards, each newsletter will contain a section of the Fool’s Journey. It’s basically an exploration of Tarot. If anything written here you’re unsure of, check out Lex’s Tarot Class in the Academy. ^^;
With all his worldly possessions in one small pack, the Fool travels he knows not where. So filled with visions and daydreams is he, that he doesn't see the cliff he is likely to fall over. At his heel, a small dog harries him (or tries to warn him of a possible mis-step).
That’s a wrap for this newsletter. If you’ve got any questions, submissions, hints or anything that you’ve got a burning desire to see in the next issue: go ahead and PM me – I do appreciate it! biggrin
