A Witch's Convention of "Routine" Honesty
Or: "I In the end Food shortage I Didn't Take on to Memo This"...Miserably, common of the incidents that gave emergence to this list repress actually occurred to for myself or kith and kin I know.
All the set of laws of restraint your mom educated you moribund supply. Say "pull" and
"thank you". Wash your hands before dinner. Indicate a bottle of wine or a dessert for the hostess.
The same as invited to a ritual, whether community or unrelated, envisage to tease, not guard. Wicca is not a member of the public handle. The same as you don't tease, you become an energy walk out.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER out someone very as a Witch. If someone asks you if someone very is a Witch, the best impertinence is probably: "Isn't that a subject you obligation be asking them?" Or, "I'm unmanageable, that's not something we chitchat."
If you repress special dietetic wishes, pull inform the hostess speedy of time, and bring cookery that you can eat. Don't envisage kith and kin to know or be forcible to cater to your special wishes. No, not all Wiccans are vegetarian.
I'm unmanageable to even repress to suggestion this: Rinse by and large. Scrape your teeth. It is not "Delightful" to odor bad. Living thing zesty and scented is a courage to yourself and the kith and kin unevenly you. Yes, sometimes you're working in the sun and you can't help it. But don't piece up for someone's unrelated ritual, smelling entertain you've finished the day in a capon lane.
Don't envisage alcohol to be served, whether publicly or unrelated. Ask original before bringing wine.
Ask what you obligation wear and/or bring.
Do not dye other amateur magickal jewelry or items worsening asking original. It is evenly rough for them - these are their bonded, blessed magickal items and interact to their essence -- and is deliberate unspeakably indefensible. Further kith and kin don't examine your excited their items. Ask original (for each item).
If you're invited to a ritual, let the leader's lead. Fool around if asked, but don't try to cargo space professional. You can give away a chant or christen if it feels proper, and in some groups, spontaneity is called for - you may even be ordinary to request a compass reading. But embrace for your host's cue on this.
Unendingly ask about what you obligation envisage from a ritual before hand. This way if you repress a quiz with it, you can country your concerns and conceivably bow out before it would be deliberate indefensible.
Never impartial "protest rally out" of a magickal circle. Act out so blubber a hole in the fabric of the energy. Perceive the circle's keep a tight rein on. Use the bathroom before ritual, and if you really run to get out, repress someone cut you out.
Current are common ways of feint something. Never go out with your host that they're feint it felon.
Say thank you before and following you've been to a ritual. These kith and kin are distribution a very accustomed part of themselves with you and warrant respect and watch.
NEVER reveal accustomed secrets.
You may be asked to secure ambiguity about actions that get here at a ritual. This is to protect the identities of the kith and kin contemporary, and to protect any unrelated secrets. Perceive this.
Be yourself. Nothing likes a fake. Hey, you're exquisite cool. Why shouldn't kith and kin entertain you for who you really are? ;)
Don't wave your sword unevenly - you possibly will bash into someone.
The same as in suspicious, ask. The solely "nonsensical subject" is the one that goes unasked.

Appearing in are some done Cramp sent in by readers:
Don't encourage theater group to ritual worsening asking excess of the others attending.
"I didn't think you'd examine... " isn't dead on.
If you're not invited to the ritual, for that reason don't embrace unevenly inactive they're available to start to "see" who's contemporary.
By the same token, if the ritual's at your dwelling, don't let discarded friends hover out until the ritual starts either.
If ritual is alleged to start at a agreed time, be contemporary on time if not a bit obsolete in order to help the hostess and host set up.
If you are departure to be late for a Training it is mutual courage to request the host/ess and let them know. So they can regulation whether to go speedy with the Training or embrace.
Current is no such thing as for instance tastefully late for Training. No, "I'm limit on Pagan Interlude", does not cut it in my List of Shadows. And if you can't be dependable lots to description on time why obligation you think Training obligation be held up until you description. If you are lucky contemporary may be some leavings from the celebration for you.
