Black Hatter’s Guidelines

  • We all have our journey and path, and we all have something to learn or teach.
  • We do not have room for hate of any kind.
  • We acknowledge that there are fringe elements and groups who claim to follow our way and honor the Earth but you cannot hate what is of the Earth and still honor it.
  • We recognize that we are all different and we celebrate our differences.
  • We support the fact that Witches or Pagans can be atheists, follow a God or Goddess, follow many Gods or Goddesses, have religious beliefs, or not have religious beliefs. Some Witches and Pagans believe the Earth we walk on is their goddess, the Sun their God, Moon a Goddess, celestial sisters, and so on. We give support regardless, we are all under the same umbrella just sometimes different factions.
  • We support the fact that not all paths follow the Wiccan rede or perfect love, and perfect trust. Wicca is a religion, and under the Pagan umbrella, We are mindful there are those who do not like the umbrella term, “Pagan” or even to be called a “Witch”. Many of us consider our faith, and spirituality, as a practice and a way of life, not a religion, filled with rules and dogma, this is why we say, Witches, Pagans, Heathen, and Sundry Folks (supporters).
  • We honor the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun as sacred and divine.

  • We strive to help others to establish new chapters.
  • We will give support and guidance to those who become a part of the network.
