Can I make some suggestions for forums?
Arts forum, Writing/ books forum, and a Divination forum and do we have a forum for energy work healing or otherwise I did not recall seeing one?

My thoughts on this are:
Arts forum - wonderful idea. Writing/ books forum - should be called literature. two birds one stone.
Divination- I think you have a point in that there will probably be a need for a divination board. However I think it would be a good idea to see more divination topics before implementing it. This isn't a huge issue as it would (assuming) be a sub-board. At this point though I think the only thing that would be able to go into it is the Tarot thread.
I bring that up for the reason that Tarot is not just divination. That's what most people use it for but divination systems tend to be simple and the Tarot isn't because it's a larger system of pathworking. I know some places have a separate Tarot and Divination board either starting out or eventually getting to that point. Like on a board I've got they are grouped together but that's so the board doesn't look dead.
To give an example I've got stuff regarding the Tarot I could post that I'd post in the Magick forum because it talks about how to use the cards to cast various kinds of circles. That's out of the realm of divination and firmly in magick- but it might be odd to see Tarot stuff in the magick forum for some.
At the same time Ouija boards and other forms of divination would also fit well in the supernatural board (Which I think we should name spiritism & cryptozoology but that's because of a strong bias against the word supernatural)
Energy Work- We don't currently have on. The closest we have is the magick forum. There's allot of overlap there regarding shielding, grounding, channeling, the Middle pillar ritual... allot of stuff you are taught before getting into the higher arts so that's the place I'd put it short of it having it's own board.
At the same time that stuff is applicable to stones, herbs and just about anything so perhaps there's enough of a need for it to have it's own board, I don't know. I do know that there was an "Empathic Bunker" thread on MW and that certainly fits the description. I think it even became its own sub-board if i'm not mistaken? Not to say we need to be a carbon-copy because we don't.. I'm just trying to envision an energy-board.
--As an aside I think at some point we are going to need an astrology board as well.

I think an arts (general) forum right now is good idea, as well as a divination one. I think that energy work/healing should stay in the magick forum.

I fail to see why divination and energy work should go anywhere else but in the Magick forum. I created an Arts & Crafts forum in the Public Talk - Light section.

Yep thank you for creating the Arts & Crafts Forum I really appreciate it.
Yes that it could be, but I am not just talking about a forum for sharing writing, or reivews on books I am also talking about those of us who want to discuss the publishing industry, and so on so if that can be included in that, that would be great.

I don't see how you can separate literature and publishing this day in age, so I figured that was a given. There is sharing your stuff online but I see that in the realm of being self-published. True , there's bind runes and of course I've seen people used Runes instead of the Major Arcana for ceremonial purposes.
