Regarding my rituals,
feel free to copy them and share them, but again, clearly credit them to
me
and link back to me for
them if you web publish them. They represent many years of work on my part.
We all borrow from each
other to a degree, and this comes under fair usage,
as long as source is
noted and credited where the original is known, such is generally accepted
by all
but, as we all know,
occasionally it's not known, having been passed from hand to hand to the
point
where no one knows from
whose hand it first came, which is why I make such note on some images
and passages I use,
as even after extensive
effort to find the original, I am often left empty handed, but the work
is too valuable not to share,
which is why I say that
the author is unknown and if anyone knows who is the author of the
piece,
to tell me, and some
have done just that, blessings on their heads for that,
so I can credit the passages
properly to its creator.
Occasionally it's the
author themselves :)
and all have given me
gracious leave to keep using it, with proper notation of author.
Which I am more than
happy to do and I am very glad to meet them at last and put a proper name
to their excellent work.
It is never my intent to step on the toes of anothers intellectually property.
And if in some case I
have done so, please, do tell me and I will remove it forthwith.
On occasion you will see
notices of credits for images, and passages on the site, for sites that
are no more
as they have disappeared
off cyberspace, but I still give them their due of credits none the less,
even if the links are
no longer valid, that's how strongly I feel about it. Ditto notations of
things that
are, by full rights,
public domain, that I don't really have to credit them, but I generally
do anyway.
So be advised you have
my leave to do so for my site content, that is my own,
with proper notice of
source and credits, and a link back is preferred.
This does not apply to
"common" knowledge we all share, but things that are entirely my own
which is 99% of my sites
content. This permisson does not apply to Artwork,
unless it is art you can freely take from my free Art gallery at Pagan Art, or my free graphics pages
. If in doubt, please ask me frist.
As a great many of you
have already done :) and I thank you for that.
It warms my heart every
time I see my work used as a reference for other works and and noted as
such.
The current number is
many 100s, world wide, in everything from school papers, to wikipedia definitions,
white papers,
and even newspapers and
magazines and more blogs than I can count. The number of links to given
pages number in the 1000's
and I bless every one
of them who share my labors so freely with others.
