Prayer Request Volunteers Needed

Greetings everyone,

The Temple of Kemetic Wicca needs LEGALLY ORDAINED CLERGY who are willing to volunteer their time and spiritual gifts for free in an effort to support the Temple's Prayer Requests that come in often at the Temple's Prayer and Blessing request page:

http://www.templeofkemeticwicca.org/prayer_request.html

During the last several holiday seasons (Samhain and Yule), there were a lot of requests for prayers and blessings during this time from people who are not connected with us. I have never asked anyone on any of my eGroups for money and, hopefully, never will. I have serious issues with charging money for spiritual services. Yes, the Temple does have a donation schedule web page (http://www.templeofkemeticwicca.org/donation_schedule.html) because there are people out there who are just TAKERS (not givers) and who just enjoy usurping anything they think and can get for free; the donation schedule is more of a deterrent for those who are not serious. We all have studied and practiced our Crafts long and hard over many years--and this ought to be respected! Everyone's time, spiritual energies, and gifts from the Divinities are highly valuable. And this MUST be respected! JUST BECAUSE WE DO NOT FOLLOW THE MAINSTREAM religious theologies, we are still CLERGY (priests, priestesses, ministers, shamans, and so forth). We are well-educated, well-read, well-practiced, and very learned enough to offer this service to our Pagan communities globally.

Moreover, I feel that we all must nurture our Alternative Spiritual communities as many other faiths do. Yes, I mean PAGAN communities because we are village dwellers who take care of our own! I ask for legally ordained clergy because of the severe religious intolerance issues within the USA that prevail and that we all face whether anyone wishes to come out of their denial phase or not that this exists.

As everyone should know by now, the Temple DOES NOT allow SPELL BEGGING! If someone needs a spell or ritual request, then they need to visit a source that will happily perform random spells for the general public. I just do not want the KARMA or NEGATIVE energy from performing public spells and rituals associated with the Temple or our eGroup! This is not to say that I will not help someone who is truly in dire straits either.

As a Hereditary Witch, myself, I know that being legally ordained is truly a crock of doo-doo. But there are governing bodies within the USA and these agencies are always looking for all Pagans to mess up.

For those who do not know where to contact the Temple of Kemetic Wicca to sign up for this spiritual endeavor:

Prayer_Requests @ templeofkemeticwicca . org

All in all, you may perform your prayer and/or blessing request from any Alternative Spiritual path that you wish. However, I do prefer that you do not accept any donations. I will outline the Temple's guidelines for those individuals who apply.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Em hotep & Blesséd Be,
