Contact the Guild

The Guild is run by volunteers, and its letters are answered by members in their own time. There is no office, no telephone and no form. Please write to the officer whose work your letter concerns.

By post

Letters on paper are welcome, and are answered on paper. The postal address of Lantern House is not published. Write first to the Warden of the Seal by electronic mail, and it will be sent to you.

What to expect

Most letters are answered within three weeks, and more slowly in the weeks around a Convocation. Every reply is written by a member. If a month has passed without one, please write again.

What we cannot help with

  • The Guild does not perform, sell, reverse or remove workings of any kind, and does not give readings.
  • It does not give medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.
  • It does not confirm or deny that any person is, or has been, a member.
  • It cannot correspond about practice with anyone under eighteen.

If you are in distress

If you are frightened, in danger, or thinking of harming yourself, please contact your local emergency services or a doctor now. The Guild is not equipped to help in a crisis, and a rite is not what is needed.

The press

Inquiries from journalists and broadcasters go to the Warden of the Seal. The Guild is glad to explain what it does. It does not arrange for its rites to be filmed, and it does not introduce members for interview unless they have themselves offered.
