Toutas Member at Large or Member Lost?

Toutas Meber at Large or Member Lost?
Does your Church Grove Temple Coven or toutas" (tribe) / community have a membership category of ; Member at large,
Wondering member,
Honorary member,
Friend of,
Fellow X but pain in the Ass?

This would be someone that shares some or most of your common values and goals. Yet for any of many reasons has not committed to the (I will use this term to cover all types of structure here on) Toutas, or the Toutas has not not or is no longer  fully committed to or trust  Her / Him / IT.

This may be someone that does not want to share the responsibilities of the Toutas. Can not because of location or other reasons. Perhaps someone that has a conflict with other Elders in the Toutas management.

So instead of a full breakup moving to perhaps member at large is the best for both parties.

Member at large (etc) is also a great lets get better acquainted position for new people.

Commitments  and Rights of these positions:

Well if you offer these titles of course member type (X) has the right to use it if Public use of tiles is allowed.

Certain or all Toutas business would not be shared unless there was a compelling need to know.

Public Rituals are Public but at large members should have a honored position at them.


Private Rituals, well that depends on Ritual and why member is “at large”.

Tithe and real Physical (Time Work Money) Support:

As Toutas support is in almost all cases badly needed and often insufficient.

I recommend that in many cases Members at Large (etc) be ask to also give a tithe or other real physical support to the Toutas. After all if they do not support the Toutas in some ways, what purpose is there of keeping them on its rolls?

Of Craft and Covens, Craft Coven Initiation:

Craft Coven Initiation is far more than a personal training tool, as one is becoming part of a Family that in the past was risking both life and limb.

 Today it is more a issue of working Magick together and other group social and Psychic compatibles.
Still if it is a serious group that one joins, one is opening their Mind and Soul to very powerful group Psychic dynamics. I can only speak of our own ways but we still take full Bio Signatures keep for life, along with the other normal measures of a new member.

 There is a real difference in just studying the Craft and that of joining a real working Coven / Family. One should treat it with more care then one would with a legal adoption or marriage. Like most things in life, there are fun Clubs and Real Special Groups. Ask your self, if you would die for your new family or would they die for you if need be? On a lower scale would you pay their rent or take them in your home if they needed it. Perhaps one gets the idea. As they say in Vegas, what happens in the Coven stays in the Coven.
