#WitchReads Book Club

For The months of May & June, our #WitchReads book club will be reading: Astral Dynamics: The Complete Book of Out-of-Body Experiences by Robert Bruce

As the title indicates, this book is centred around astral projection, and out of body experiences. The book is meant as a tool to help one to achieve them, advice and guidance for exploring the astral plane, etc. You can check out more info about the book HERE.

As it’s still fairly early May, if you are interested in ing the discussion you don’t have to catch up too much! Be sure to watch out for the #Witchreads chat discussions, or feel free to the book club chatroom!

『 Guideline Updates 』

Guideline Reminder: Artistic Nudity

In the recent past we changed our guidelines to allow artistic nudity, and we feel this has been a great change for our community overall! However, we want to give a quick reminder of what we mean by artistic nudity. Team amino has been giving strikes (as they use a bot detection system) which is resulting in some confusion.

To stay within our [Guidelines] we ask that:

-Nude images must be artistic in nature

-We don’t allow content which is graphic and/or with intent to arouse

-No genitals

However, this is a disclaimer to say that TA still may strike if their bots deem it inappropriate. So when you post images of this nature, you are doing so at your own risk.

If you do receive a strike by TA, please them as they will have a human review the image (as sometimes bots mess up) to discuss having your strike removed. Please know that you must go through this process by submitting a form on your own, as they will not allow us to advocate on your behalf.
