2. You shall strive to follow and practice the ancient traditions, rituals, and ways of the Craft as they have been passed down from the ancients, without seeking to change them or twist them “as it seems fit to your personal taste”.
3. You shall be fully committed to the laws and purposes of the Grove and apply them in your every day life and actions.
4. You shall be honest, not only in your thoughts, but in your feelings and motives as well. Love, respect and trust cannot be demanded, they have to be earned, and without honesty that cannot happen.

6. You shall not, within or outside the Grove, use your knowledge to harm, cause harm to others, or act on the free liberty of will of others, with intent, deliberately, maliciously, and unprovoked, for personal gain and/or revenge.

7. You shall not demand to receive knowledge, but will receive it once you are deemed worthy to receive it.
8. You shall permanently work on your knowledge of the craft, of the old skills and of the old ways, for their mastery is acquired through hard and lengthy work and learning, and you have to prove that you have the perseverance and the commitment necessary to advance further in the path. Wisdom cannot be handed to you on a silver platter.
9. You shall teach and pass down your knowledge to your brothers and sisters in the Grove, as they are deemed worthy to receive it.
10. You shall not impart of the knowledge that you gained through the Grove to outsiders, except for the free classes and workshops approved by the Grove.
