Assessment Testing We are creating a series of assessment tests that are utilized solely for the purpose of learning more about what you know, what you’d like to learn, and how far you want to pursue your religious career. These are not pass/fail, just placement tests to determine your level of training. Additionally, we have developed an aptitude test to help you discover what role might make you happier. Shy folks need not pursue Inner Court, where they’d be expected to lead rituals, those with time constraints and heavy responsibilities already won’t want Outer Court, where their presence will be hoped for at rites and working meetings. These tests just allow us to help you discover your True Will, the help you achieve it.

Clergy Staff
Our clergy will consist of our Founding Triune: Sarenth, Ravyn, and Willow, as well as any who wish to serve the group as a whole.

Submission of Membership
Persons wishing membership may submit a membership application at any time, via phone, mail or internet communication. Memberships are Lifetime, unless specifically stated otherwise by the Clergy. Members receive discounted admission to paid events, discounts on classes, seminars and workshops, unless specifically stated otherwise by the Clergy.

Levels of Membership
Member:
This refers to those who, for whatever reason, wish to attend rites and worship, but never lead rites or teach. These people will make up the largest percentage of any congregation. Respect them, plan events with them in mind- these are your “flock”.

Outer Court
These people are a little more involved in their spiritual path. They are comprised mostly of laborers. They may need some direction, but are usually very hard working. We need them- they are the project completers, task handlers.

Inner Court:
This refers to the worker bees. These people write, lead, and perform ritual. They come early, stay after, and generally do the work in the church. These people include the teachers, bards, clerical, cooks, organizers, healers, administrative and finance people. The idea is to employ those with counseling backgrounds, to become a full-service church. Our Inner Court will assist clergy in hospitals, jail cells, and places only clergy usually go to offer those in need the support they require. Inner Court Members are the pillars of the Church. Praise them, for without them- nothing gets done.

On the path to Inner Court, a member will choose hir own specializations. We are offering at this time the choice between the following:
1. Path of Self: Insert Willow’s blurb regarding the focus and direction of the Path of Self.
2. Path of Ascension: Insert Ravyn’s blurb regarding the focus and direction of the Path of Ascension.
3. Path of Balance: Insert Sarenth’s blurb regarding the focus and direction of the Path of Balance

Elder
This refers to any person who has served the pagan community for over 20 years. Elder is a title that speaks of Wisdom and Experience. This is not granted by whim. Elders are the respected Council of the Church, and as such are revered. Bless them, for their mysteries are deep.

Clergy
This refers to those dedicated individuals, that serve as counselors and guides for the rest of the congregation. They are committed to the ideals of the society, and will form the Council of the Church once we progress to that point. Clergy membership requires a time commitment, as they are called on by the society as a whole for counsel, leadership, and guidance.

Others:
We accept all; we do not discriminate against anyone based on race, color, creed, sexual orientation, disability, or any other debilitating circumstance. We do not accept those who belittle or discriminate against others. For any additional information on this or any topic, please feel free to ask any clergy member, or even the HP or HPS. We are all here to retain the last thing given to us by the Gods- Hope.
