Editing Hearth Mother (section)

=Initiate Membership=

===Requirements for Initiation===
Any woman of the clan who has had her first child may become an initiate of Hearth Mother.  Anyone else who has lived for three years or more with the clan as a full adult may elect to become an initiate of the clan.  Initiates are primarily concerned with maintaining the sacred clan fires, used in cooking and for warmth.  In the Great Darkness, Hearth Mother maintained fire to keep her children warm and to protect them from enemies.  

===Requirements to Maintain Initiated===
Initiates help maintain the clan hearth flame.  They are required to gift a tithe to the ancestors of the cult by foodstuffs left at the clean hearth.

===Mundane Benefits===
Initiates receive more respect than lay members. If an initiate is injured or ill, and cannot feed herself or her family, the cult will care for her through food donations brought in by members.

===Skills===
Initiates may learn cult skills at half price.

===Spells===
Initiates may learn the cult spells '''[[Ignite]]''', '''[[Healing]]''', '''[[Befuddle]]''', '''[[Glue]]''', '''[[Detect Enemies]]''', '''[[Fireblade]]''', '''[[Mobility]]''', and '''[[Shimmer]]''' at half price.
