Nightshade
The circle is small on purpose. These are the manners that keep it that way. The Terms of Service are the rules that can close an account. This page is how to walk in the room. Last updated October 22, 2026.
People come in on different roads. Right-hand, left-hand, and the space between them are all welcome, including practices you do not share. Do not mock a craft, a deity, a daemon, or a working to win a point. Disagreement is allowed. Contempt is not.
Ask before you interpret someone’s chart back to them. A match is not an invitation to correct their practice.
A heart, a note, or a match is a yes to the conversation. It is not a yes to anything else. Ask before you write about their body, their private working, or their life outside the circle. If they do not answer, that is an answer. Stop.
No means no, including a quiet no. Do not keep writing after someone has passed, blocked, or left the thread.
Do not send an explicit photograph in a note, a heart, a message, or a profile unless the other person has clearly asked for that. Do not describe sex in the first note. If they want that kind of talk, they will say so.
Photographs on a profile should be you, and they should be something you are willing for a stranger in the circle to see. Nightshade is 18 and older. Nothing sexual involving a minor belongs here, ever.
The circle is not a storefront. Do not offer readings, spells, sessions, goods, or paid work to someone you matched unless they asked you for it. Do not pitch a business, a course, or a payment link in a note. A gathering listed in the circle is the place for a public night, not a private thread.
Scams, “investment” talk, and asking a match for money are not allowed.
Use your own photographs and an honest age. The circle checks that you are 18 or older. A fake age, a stolen face, or a profile built to deceive is a reason to ban the email.
Block hides both of you, everywhere, on every phone. Report does the same and tells the owner why: harassment, a fake profile, someone underage, a scam or solicitation, explicit content without consent, or something else. You can add a short note. You do not have to argue with the person first.
The owner can warn, suspend, or ban. A banned email cannot open a new account.
