Thank you for your interest in being included in our Free Group Prayer Rituals. If you desire to only send in your prayer request, and not join us online, you may do that by simply sending your prayer request to us at prayforme@spellmaker.com. Sending in a prayer request insures that you will be included in our Spellmaker Group Prayer Sessions. (Our Novitiates - those who are on the road to Initiation in our House - are the ones who will be doing the group prayer sessions.) If you wish to protect your confidentiality, please do not include your last name or personal information (such as where you live) in your prayer request as many different people will be doing the praying! However, please at least give us your first name and the first name of any other persons you want us to pray for!

You may also choose to join us in the chatroom for a public prayer session. You do not have to show your real name in the chatroom, you will be given an opportunity to choose a nickname that will show in the chatroom. Please note: In the public chatroom prayer sessions, precedence will be given to those who show up to pray with us. Email requests may or may not be prayed for on the nights above in the public prayer session. That depends on how many folks show up with requests on each night. However, even if the the email requests are not gotten to in the public sessions, they will be prayed for in our private House sessions regardless of whether or not you showed up for a public prayer session. So if you are not interested in joining us to pray in the public prayer session, you can still send in an email request that will be still receive our utmost attention, just in private sessions by our Khouzhans (our Novitiates, those on the road to initiation are called Khouzhans).

We are asking that you make your prayer request serious, for serious needs. We are not going to be doing prayers for anyone to get that new red Mustang they have their eye on. However, we will accept prayers for health situations, money situations, even love situations. It is important to remember that these prayers do not take the place of doing other things for situations: If you are sick, go to the doctor. If you need a job, be sure to continue to look for one. If you have love affair problems, we have products for that. These prayers are meant to assist everyone we can assist, but we cannot make any guarantees of success - all we can do is try.

We believe that there is a great Cosmic Consciousness that we all belong to, no matter what our religious beliefs are, and that by coming together to pray and send good energy, we tap into and use that Cosmic Consciousness Power as well as give back to it!

As above, if you desire to join us online to pray for yourself and others, you are welcome to do that. We will announce dates on this page as to when we will be meeting online. In order to join the group online, you will need to sign up for our online chat room, and you can join us at the designated times for the prayers.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are joining us in the online Prayer Room, please remember, this is not a place to chat and socialize with others. This is not a place to discuss your case. This is not a place to ask questions about Spellmaker products, etc. This will be a room devoted to prayer only. We have group prayer leaders who let you know for whom we are praying and for what. You may bring a prayer request to the room - we will pray prayers of many different religions - we are not pushing one religion or another. If you have a prayer you wrote, you can bring that and share it with others in the prayer room. However, you do not have to "say" anything in the Prayer Room if you don't want to, you can be there to pray for each request as it is presented to the Prayer Room. There are further guidelines to be followed in the Prayer Room. Please see below.

How to sign up for the online Prayer Room to join us (if you already are signed up for Spellmaker chat from previous classes or readings, you do not need to sign up again):

1. The Online Public Prayer Room is located at www.spellmaker.com/chatinformation/chatroom.htm Once you go to that link, you will see a screen that looks like this (this is just a picture, it isn't clickable, you have to go the link just provided):
   
2. Once you are at that page, click on "Create New User Account"
3. After you click on "Create New User Account", you should see a screen that looks like this:
   
4. Fill out the information completely and be sure to use a working email address or you cannot complete the registration. Remember, your Username is the name that will show up in the Prayer Room. So if you want confidentiality, don't use your full name - you can use any kind of polite nickname. If you choose a vulgar or inappropriate nickname, you will be removed from the system. Once you fill out the information on that screen, it will take you a screen that looks like this:
   
5. At that point you will need to verify your email. Once you do that, according to the instructions on that screen, you will now be signed up for the Public Prayer Room and can join us at the appointed prayer times. If you do not verify your email, you cannot join us in the Public Prayer Room.
6. After you register, just go back to the link that leads to the chatroom (www.spellmaker.com/chatinformation/chatroom.htm when you are ready to join the Prayer Room. There is a drop down menu (click on the little arrow) and you can just "Public Prayer Room" from that menu and then continue on.

• To join us in this Public Prayer Room you must agree to our guidelines of proper behavior: No swearing, no preaching, no pushing any particular religion on anyone, etc. We will be in there to pray and nothing else.
• This Public Prayer Room will not be a place to chat, talk about Spellmaker products, your problems, etc. You may come and request a prayer, pray for others, or share a prayer.
• If you are joining us for the Public Prayer Room, the password is letuspray - all lower case, all together just as it is written there.
• In the Public Prayer Room we ask that you remember that we are all there to pray for ourselves and each other. It is to be considered, for the most part, a "quiet room." Anytime you log into that room, especially if the Prayer Ritual has already started, we ask that you NOT greet everyone upon your arrival - no "hi's" or "how is everyone" is necessary. Just join the room and sit quietly until you see what is going on at the time you join.

• There are really only a few times for speaking in the room:
  1. To request a prayer: To request a prayer, simply type the words "prayer request, please" in the message window and hit send. Please wait for the Prayer Moderator to call on you. The Prayer Moderator will also be pasting in prayer requests that were emailed in. Please allow time to be called upon.
  2. To share a prayer with the group: To share a prayer with the group simply type the words "prayer share, please" in the message window and hit send. Please wait for the Prayer Moderator to call on you.
  3. To say a few words of encouragement like, "Amen" at the end of prayers, or "I will pray for you" when a request is made - that kind of thing. We have to keep the sessions going to get everything done so we just don't have time for big conversations, but it okay to acknowledge what is happening in the room as long as we can keep it to a minimum. :-)

  You may leave the room at any time. Please don't interrupt the room session to say goodbye or anything. Just leave when you are ready.
  There is a private instant message function in this chat room. We ask that you NOT use it to speak with other participants nor the prayer leaders. We have that function on so that the prayer leaders can communicate with each other about the upcoming prayers and organizational matters. Please do not IM the prayer leaders or each other. It is a distraction to those who are praying. All of those chats are documented in the transcripts of the room, so we will know who is using it as well as what was said.

• Most Vodou ceremonies start with three prayers: The Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the Apostle's Creed. We will always open with those three prayers. We will also always start out with Papa Alegba opening the gate for us and end with Papa closing the gate for us. These are our Vodou traditions. Everything in between will be devoted to a myriad of religious and spiritual beliefs. You should feel free to share prayers from your own religion, too.
• If you desire to set up a little area to pray when you joing us we recommend: One or two white candles, a white cloth, a glass of water, perhaps something to write on and with to record your own thoughts and feelings. There are no real set rules but you can set up an elaborate area or a simple one. Setting up a little area - even just burning one candle, helps you to focus your energies and concentrate on praying and accepting the energy from those praying for you.
• While this room will be about Religious Tolerance, we do not want to be subjected to prayers from Satanism or any other Black Magick type of prayers, especially those based in hate. We plan on using prayers from a variety of different religions including our religion of Vodou. If you have strong objections to different religions, you should not join the room to pray.
• Even though we are calling this a "Public Prayer Room" - it actually is NOT a public facility. The chatroom is owned by Spellmaker and thus we reserve the right to refuse anyone entry.
• The Prayer Moderators have the final say in the Prayer Room and we reserve the right to remove and ban anyone who is there to cause trouble. We want this to be a peaceful and happy experience for people - a place to come to pray and to be prayed for. This Prayer Room should be a place of comfort, not conflict.
• Basically, it is pretty easy: Play nice and follow the rules and there won't be any problem. :-)
• The prayer room is a Java-based room. In order to make sure that the room works properly for you, please update your Java before you try to come into the room. Java is free. Just go to www.java.com and follow the instructions there.
