Myself and Wild_Rose have over the past months been attempting to make Black Cross an active Coven. If you hadn't noticed there was already a post about the issue from approx a month ago.
The post "coven leadership" was calling for people to nominate themselves/others for the position. Wild and I thought that this approach would be best on advice from another SoM member.
Petrarca has been previously contacted regarding the issue from myself two times now. The MOD's are unable to administrate coven leadership as some have pointed out previously in other posts.
Me.

I find you to be extremely arrogant and seem to care more about the position than about the coven. Simple facts are that as of January 31st, you were a member of Gypsy Magick, and then switched to Black Cross. Prior to that (January 27ths), you were in Christian Wiccans.
Your first post in Black Cross was announcing that you have decided to take it over.
That, to me, shows that you are not capable of running the coven since you clearly have no respect for covens to begin with and are arrogant enough to join a coven out of the blue and decide you should be made Priestess without a thought or care as to what members who have been there longer have to say about it.
Personally, I hope no one actually gives it to you (and I doubt they will). You need to learn some respect and stop announcing yourself Priestess of a coven you've belonged to for a total of 2 days.

Thank you for being honest. I don't mean to sound power hungry. I just wish to help. I feel I can help the members. You maybe right about the blessing part of the spell. I may have to rewrite it. If their is a way to help other, I just want to. I hope that's understandable, its not to run it, its to help

Before reading through all of the posts in this thread I sent you a pm regarding your desire to help Black Cross, but now I must say that my position on that matter has changed drastically.
You can't just join a coven and then make yourself the "unofficial" Priestess. That alone makes me question your motives. I at least thought that the other members where backing you.
If you truly want to help Black Cross then post knowledgeable topics and try to get the rest of the members to discuss them. Regardless of whether there is a new Priest or Priestess, if the majority of the members themselves aren't making an effort to bring about a change nothing is going to come of anyone's efforts. It takes the support of the entire coven to make a change not just one or two individuals that say they are going to take over leadership. Prove that you are deserving of the position and then discuss the matter further with first your fellow coven members and then Pet.
Suliana, Sakura was made council in Divine Spirits shortly after backing off of the whole Priestess topic as shown in her other post in this forum (I forget the name but it is above or below this thread). Later she was gagged for not following rules properly.
Just wanted you to know the outcome of this thread. Lol.
To take the cake she wanted an active "Christopaganism" type Coven. Might have been easier to join Christian Wiccans. Less painless anyway.

Ah, I see I was a little late on finding all this then. I suppose that's what happens when you spend all your time in your coven forum. -lol-
I suppose the outcome more or less proved to everyone that she wasn't ready for such responsibility.
I myself was a bit baffled about her desire for a "Christopaganism" coven as well. There is one currently in existence here and if she desired to teach and speak with other like-minded individuals she could have joined that coven.

I would like to add that a priestess who doesn't see that the law of 3fold is only part of a handful of relgions, and that the stance of regarding it is a choice, not a scientific law, is not fit for the job. A priestess should be versed in all religions, practices and philosophies, not preaching one.

Furthermore, try looking into the historical origins of such law.
