Come join us for a chat in #dAPagna [link]! We'd love it if you stop by.


On Chatting:


* Be respectful. Even if you aren't pagan you are more than welcome to join, just be respectful of our beliefs. We will be respectful of yours.

* No A/S/L. It's a foolish question as anyone who wants to share this information has already done so on their userpage.

* Please don't advertise other clubs/chatrooms/communities/etc. And while we're on this topic, no spamming.

*This chat room is English only. It is impossible for the Admins and Operators to moderate if they do not know what you are saying. First use of other language will result in a warning, second will result in a kick.

* Thumbsharing is not prohibited, but not actively encouraged either. This is not a thumbshare room, but a room to make friends with similar interests.

*There is a zero tolerance policy on the discussion of illegal activity such as warez/cracks/etc.

*Bashing any religion will not be tolerated and will result in an instant kick. Repeat offenses will result in a ban.

*No excessive role playing - we are not animals, we are people.

*This is not a debate room. While we are a pagan chat room, the room is not here for the purpose of debate, but for the purpose of having a place where pagans can gather and chat. It is not against the rules to talk about religion and paganism, but please be respectful and don't push your ideas or debate to excess.

*Please watch your language and no cybering. This is an all ages chatroom, we want it to be comfortable and safe for everyone.

*No AOL speak - please type clearly, in full sentences, and no excessive use of capslock.

*People are not in chat for your entertainment. Please do not complain incessantly about being bored or demand to be entertained.

*While we understand and appreciate that not everyone understands what it is to be pagan, this word is not an automatic synonym for dark/goth/emo/depressed. We sympathize with you but we cannot legally help you treat your medical or mental issues. If you truly feel you are being persecuted and/or suffering from ill mental health, please contact a professional therapist.

*No excessive song lyrics. We all listen to music, but don't dominate the chat with yours. Using programs that announce what you are currently playing, such as amip, is not allowed.

*Don't mess with the BanSidhe and never mock the Watchtowers!


Chat Privclasses: Please don't ask to be promoted!!!

*BanSidhe - Founders and Admins of *dAPagan

*Watchtowers - Operators, those in charge of the room when no BanSidhe is present

*FullMoons - Long-term active Elementals who have earned the trust of the administration

*Elementals - Those individuals who are a member of *dAPagan

*LuckyCharms - First time visitors and those who have not been promoted

*TheCauldron - People who have broken many rules and are banned

On Submitting Art and joining:


* To join:

The note should include the following info:

Your Pagan Path:
Druid/Shaman/Wicca/Egyptian/Asatru/Thelema/Orisha/Witch/Hereditary Witch/Hedge Witch/Chaos etc. Not sure yet? That's okay. You'd be "just Pagan" in that case.
If you're not Pagan at all, you're equally welcome as an "interested in Paganism" friend.

2. watch the club

3. add our avatar to your journal. How? Write : icondAPagan : without the spaces(more info here FAQ #81: How can I make links to other deviants, deviations, or websites?)

Please note: simply watching the club will not guarantee your membership. You must send us a note as well, please!
