We, the Founding Members of LORE, a group of individuals concerned with the future of the Earth and all of the creatures who co- habitate with her are forming a society in which the Tenets of Wicca will be used to create a sanctuary to all those who are Wiccan or interested in the craft. We support the individuality of all people (wiccan and non-wiccan) and do not promote any one method of worship, however the major purpose of LORE is to educate people on what Wicca represents, and to give solitary practitioners of the craft a place to meet other Solitaries, as well as Coven members in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. In support of the aforementioned statement, we believe that the following rights are universal to all creatures of the Earth: o All people have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, without regard to their religion. o All members of any religion have the right to be treated as equals. Acceptance of one form of worship does not make any human less of a person. o All people have the right to worship freely in any form seen as necessary to them as long as it does not interfere with the rights of any other person or group. o Acceptance of a specified religion is only part of the whole. Personal expression fills the gap where the religion leaves the holes. o All people possess the right of conscience, and the right to participate in the decisions affecting themselves. o All people have the right to live in a peaceful world, free from the threat of death by war or environmental destruction. The only responsibility of any person is the following: o All people need to respect the Earth and the web of inter- dependance of which we are a part. This can be accomplished by individuals if they adhere to the above mentioned rights for creatures of the Earth. LORE dedicates itself to the aforementioned task.
