Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.

The term "democrowcy" originates from the Greek words "dēmos," meaning "common people," and "crow" from Old English "crawe", which is imitative of the signature Corvidae cry. (Compare Old Saxon "kraia", Dutch "kraai", Old High German "chraja", German "Kräke". Also other imitative bird-names such as Greek "krex", "krekos".)
