"…I further swear that initiates of the Craft shall be to me, each and every one, as my parent, my sibling or my child, born of one blood with me, and that no one sealed by oath to the Goddess shall appeal to me in vain.[adapted from the Oath of the Free Amazons, by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Similar, but not identical, to many Craft oaths.]
And if I betray any secret revealed to me here, or prove false to my oath, then I shall submit myself to the Elders of the Craft for such discipline as they shall choose; and if I fail, then may every person's hand turn against me, let them slay me like an animal and consign my body unburied to corruption and my soul to the mercy of the Goddess."
"I, ______ known as _______ in the Craft community, having given the measure of my life to [HP/S], agree to treat all initiates in the Craft as my beloved kin, to keep the secrets charged to me, and to honor the Gods and Ancestors as I have been taught, and as They lead me.Put your money where your mouth is. YES, that's a big thing. That's a whopping wide-open "your HP can demand everything you own, at any time, for no reason at all." And a combined, "every person's hand turned against you."
Should I fail in this duty, at the discretion of [HP/S], I will pay as much as requested, to [HP/S] to further his/her work in the Craft, and I will further atone for my failure by providing any requested percentage of my net income for up to twenty years after the request is made, to [HP/S] or [Coven Name], at HP/S's discretion.
Also, I agree that if I fail in my duty, I may be judged unfit for the community and will immediately leave any place open to the public if asked by any initiate of [trad] or [trad], and if I fail to do so, that initiate has the right to inflict such physical damage on me as they see fit, or to allow any other person to inflict damage on their behalf."
