Church of Witchcraft Embers Mentorship Program

---

The Church of Witchcraft (herein known as TCW) continues its ongoing mission to support self-actualization, manifestation, and expression through the Craft. To this end, we support new witches (herein known as 'EMBERS'). Embers are, by nature, the future of Witchcraft. TCW sees the value and importance of Embers, and thus, we support them and act as a paragon of Magical excellence. Since you are reading this document, you are seeking direction from a member or members (herein known as 'MENTOR') of TCW. To ensure this program's fidelity and integrity, TCW mentors will act in their own and TCW's best interests. That being said, we do have some guidelines.

1. Mentorship will last for a period not to exceed three months. Exceeding this time will be at the behest of the Mentor and TCW. 
2. This will consist of two one-hour sessions per month and bi-weekly. Scheduling will be between the Mentor and the Ember. Exceeding this allotment is at the behest of the Mentor and the Ember. 
3. If there is concern for health or safety, TCW will act as mandatory reporters first and foremost. 
4. As an Ember, you are expected to act with respect, dignity, and sincerity. Any form of harassment, threats, stalking, insincerity, etc., will be grounds to terminate the mentorship at any time. A formal notice will be sent citing a violation if it occurs. 
5. If a Mentor is unsafe, we expect an Ember to report them to the Synod of the Sacred Circle (synod @ churchofwitchcraft.org), and further investigation will take place. 
6. An Ember is not a formal member of TCW. If an Ember wishes to seek membership with TCW, we encourage you to do so. Ask your Mentor, and they will direct you, or you can contact TCW at synod @ churchofwitchcraft.org 
7. The content for mentorship will be individualized and unique. Each Mentor and Ember will determine best practices and content for instruction and guidance. 
8. Embers may terminate the mentorship for any reason at any time. 
9. Compensation is not required. However, TCW does encourage donations, which can be done through our website in the Membership section. 
10. TCW cannot guarantee we have enough resources to support every inquiry. We do our best to respond within one week to new Embers. All Embers will be placed on our waiting list if a Mentor is unavailable, and we will contact Embers via email when a Mentor is available on a first-come, first-served basis. 
11. All information you provide is private unless it is regarding guidelines 3 and 4. The only people that we will share information with are relevant Synod members and the Mentor.
