An ethical practice framework: putting it in writing
Write the rules for a divinatory practice. Follow a structure covering service scope, confidentiality, ending a session and reporting a problem.
Editorial illustration.
In this lesson
Begin with the service scope
The first paragraph should state what you do, by which method and what you provide. Avoid promises of guaranteed accuracy. “A symbolic reading of three cards with written notes” describes actual work.
Describe difficult cases in advance
Explain how someone can end a meeting, request correction of a factual error or report a problem. State where notes are kept and who can access them. A short specific rule is more useful than a broad promise of “complete ethics”.
Check whether practice follows the text
Read the rules as a first-time visitor. Can they understand the price and decline comfortably? If actual conduct contradicts the text, change the conduct and terms rather than adding more assurances.
