Who are you?
We are Tarot and divination enthusiasts from all over the world. We also have an interest or passion for the occult including witchcraft and magic,astrology, crystals and the esoteric. Our aim is to create a friendly community of like minded people who enjoy the intimacy of a small forum and love connecting with people and sharing ideas.
What is a Serpent's Egg?
It is the Orphic Egg. An old symbol stemming from the ancient Greek Orphic Religion. These people believed that the universe was created from a giant silver egg. It forms the basis of many different cultures' Creation Myths and is otherwise known as the World or Cosmic Egg.
I think Tarot and any form of Divination is hocum or the Devil's work.
Then you're in the wrong place.
I want to advertise my Forum which is similar to yours.
Please don't. Links to similar Forum's will be removed.
I have an online shop that sells Tarot cards and other Divination stuff.
You're welcome to put it in the Advertisements Forum and post a thread telling people about it.
I'm creating a Tarot deck, can I advertise it and talk about it here?
Please do. You can tell us about your Tarot deck here.
I don't like someone here what should I do.
Use the Ignore function. This means you can't see that member's posts. You can't Ignore Staff or me. Go to Edit Profile. Press the Privacy tab. Move down to the Members Block List. Type in the Members' username. Press Save Privacy Settings.
I'm being bullied
Report that to me as soon as possible and I'll deal with it. We have a zero tolerance bullying policy here. If I or someone else spots bullying, I will deal with it quickly. If a member of staff is bullying you via PM or in Posts please let me know. There is no favourtism here.
What do you consider to be bullying?
Some examples of bullying would be following someone around the Forum and baiting them. Getting a group of you together to contradict and shred someone's opinion. Respectful debate and disagreement is not bullying. Personal attacks, persistent flaming, trolling is all considered bullying. Harrassment. PMs telling that person why you don't like them. Attempting to hound another person off the Forum are all considered to be bullying and won't be tolerated. Having a bad day is not considered bullying but human and that includes myself.
Someone has responded to me in a way I don't like what should I do?
Remember the human. If you are angry, irritated or hacked off then shut down your computer and go for a walk. It's easy to misread a person's intention online. Some people write in a particularly terse way (myself included) but their intention may not be bad. Other's may not be writing in their first language or their cultural background may be straight to the point without niceties. Think twice before replying. When we re read a post the next day, we may see it in a completely different light (I often have) and regret our initial response. Please don't try to hurt people with your words and think about how you may be coming across to others.
How do I report a post?
If someone has broken our Forum Rules by saying something racist for example, you can report that post. On the top far right of every post is a button with a cog symbol. Press the cog and a drop down menu will appear. Look down until you see Report. Press that and write why you have reported the post. There's no need to do anything else after that. Please leave it to Admin to resolve.
I can't post my photo or image here.
You need to have www and JPG in the address in order for it to appear. Remember to copy and paste the address into the Insert Image form. You can get a www address by saving the image onto your computer and then uploading into a website like tinypic.com
I want to post other people's images here including Tarot decks.
Please don't infringe anyone's copyright. If you are unsure about copyright, then check out copyright law. If you have a photo of a reading then that's no problem, if you want to review a deck again,no problem. Don't upload whole Tarot decks as the creator will have a problem.
What is the Karma thing in my Profile?
If someone is kind towards you or particularly helpful, reward them with Karma. Press Give. If you are feeling grouchy or someone has irritated you then press Take. It takes away Karma.
What is Member of the Month?
In the Tabs of your Profile you will see one called Awards. A Member of the Month Award will be given out for members who we think are really helpful, kind and considerate. Someone who shines. If you are awarded then it will be Announced and you will receive an Award that shows up as Award in your profile. This won't be given out every month and may not be given out at all. If you are lucky enough to be Awarded, you will have the Award for four weeks and then it will be removed.
How can I get rid off the Adverts?
The Adverts are embedded in the Forum and nothing to do with us. To get rid off them permanently download Ad Blocker for Firefox, Chrome and all other web browsers. It will get rid off the Forum Adverts quickly and it's free!
I'd like to see something here but you don't have it.
All ideas are welcome to improve the Forum. If there's something you don't like, want to see improved or would like to see added,then put it in the Feedback section.
Can I swear here?
Yes you can. Please don't call people names.
I don't like people who swear.
Ignore them. Put them under the Ignored members in your Profile.
