CHECKLIST FOR A WELL-WORKING GROUP

1. We are clear about our goals and how we intend to achieve
them.

2. We know and respect each other well enough to feel very
comfortable and attuned working together.

3. Our Magick is ethical, designed for our growth and
fulfillment and the benefit of those who request help, and it
never used to harm others.

4. We share the responsibilities of making the group work; every
individual's contribution is important.

5. We see each other socially outside the group, and support
each other through difficulties.

6. We enjoy. there is fun and laughter at our meetings.

7. We work at learning magick. We dig deep, compare different
sources, try new techniques, ask pointed questions, do it until
we get it right.

8. We keep ourselves healthy and fit in order to more readily
channel power and receive insight.

9. We keep our ritual area and tools orderly and clean.

10. We constantly seek knowledge from many sources -- people,
books, workshops, other paths...

11. We do not make a virtue of authority and obedience, but treat
each other as respected equals (regardless of the formal
structure of the coven).

12. We raise genuine power and channel it; our rituals are not
tame readings or rote gestures, but filled with energy, vitality,
will and purpose.
