Warm greetings to all! 
To forum family members both new and old, this is a gentle reminder about the importance of content ownership.
As mentioned in the Forum F.A.Q/Guidelines and Terms of Service, it is important to be mindful about the content we post.
We are a community that loves to learn- and there are so many wonderful things out there to share! 
If you find the perfect media (such as photo or video) or information (such as a section of an article or book) to share with the coven- please do so! 
Just please be sure to add a source link/credit to the owner.

Those of us on the Spells8 staff team try our best to keep the site safe and enjoyable. To avoid the complexities of copyright legal battles, we ask that you also lend a helping hand by sharing your own content and giving credit when sharing content taken from other sites.
Here’s how you can help- it’s easy! 
When you come across a perfect thing and want to share it with your coven…
- Mention where you found it
- Say who the owner/creator is
Sharing resources is a huge help, so consider adding a hyperlink. A hyperlink is a clickable link that goes directly to your source!
CLICK HERE to learn how to hyperlink
-
While typing up your post, click on the hyperlink symbol (
) in the toolbox bar above. -
Paste the URL to the website of the content you are sharing
-
In the second box, type the name of the site or source you are linking to.
-
Click “OK”!
Don’t want to credit? You have options 
Relax- no source link/credit is required when posting content that you own!
You also do not have to give credit for content taken from open access sites. There are many sites out there with resources that the public can use freely and do not require credit to be given. Here are a few:
Depending on the site, different photos may have different requirements for use. Be sure to read closely and look for “no attribution required” or “no credit required”.
