Guidelines by Which TotemGrove Conducts Rituals
- Children are welcome; we ask that parents respect the needs of
other circle attendees.
- We believe that the God and Goddess make allowances for children
to break circle. A child shall be considered one not yet in puberty.
- When entering a circle a challenge of non-threatening sorts is acceptable
and when the ritual will involve "heavy" workings is expected.
- A brief "grounding time" will be included upon entering circle and
before ritual begins in earnest.
- The area will be cleansed before circle is cast.
- It is at the discretion of the facilitator whether cakes and ale
in some form will be performed during ritual. "Ale" is to be non-alcoholic.
