Interamnia is a platform for practitioners who take their work seriously — and who understand that the trust their clients place in them is not something to exploit. This Code of Ethics is not exhaustive, and it is not a legal contract. It is a statement of the values we expect every practitioner on this platform to uphold.
By building your practice on Interamnia, you agree to these standards. Violations may result in account suspension or permanent removal from the platform.
Honesty about who you are
- Represent your training, lineage, certifications, and experience accurately. Do not claim credentials, initiations, or lineage connections you do not hold.
- If your practice is self-taught or experiential rather than formally trained, say so. Many of the most gifted practitioners are. Misrepresentation, not self-teaching, is the problem.
- Your magic is your own. It is something you cultivate — not something you strictly learn and license from a coach, and not a franchise you rent from someone above you. This is not the home for you if you are a cog in a multi-level marketing scheme, obligated to recruit, upsell, or funnel your clients into someone else's downline.
- Do not use titles or designations — "doctor," "therapist," "licensed counsellor," and similar — unless you hold those qualifications in the jurisdiction where you practise.
Honest marketing
- Do not use false scarcity tactics — countdown timers on evergreen offers, fabricated "only 2 spots left" claims, or artificial urgency designed to pressure clients into decisions.
- Do not make income claims — specific earnings figures, lifestyle promises, or implications that clients will achieve particular financial results by working with you — unless you can substantiate them and comply with applicable advertising law.
- Do not present your work as a substitute for medical, psychological, or psychiatric care, or as capable of diagnosing, treating, or curing illness. Astrological and intuitive perspectives on health and the body are a legitimate part of many traditions — the line is between offering insight and making clinical claims you are not qualified to make. When working with health-related themes, encourage clients to consult a qualified healthcare practitioner alongside your work.
- Price your offerings honestly. Hidden fees, undisclosed recurring charges, or bait-and-switch pricing are prohibited.
Billing and consent
- Recurring charges — subscriptions, payment plans, retainers — require explicit, informed consent from the client before the first charge. The billing terms must be clearly stated at the point of purchase.
- Do not enrol clients in recurring billing without their knowledge or without clear disclosure of the amount, frequency, and cancellation terms.
- Honour your stated refund and cancellation policies.
The practitioner-client relationship
- Do not make concrete predictions about specific future events — deaths, divorces, accidents, illnesses — presented as certainties. Framing is everything: there is a difference between exploring possibilities and pronouncing fate.
- Do not fabricate or embellish messages from spirit guides, ancestors, or other non-physical sources in a way intended to manipulate clients, create emotional dependency, or extract further payment.
- Do not use your position of trust to encourage clients to make major life decisions — financial, relational, medical, legal — based solely on your readings or guidance.
- Be transparent about the nature and limits of your work. Spiritual and intuitive services are not regulated professional services. Clients deserve to understand what they are and are not receiving.
- Do not exploit vulnerable clients. If a client is in acute distress, in crisis, or showing signs that they need professional mental health support, refer them appropriately.
- The relationship between a practitioner and a client, student, or member is not a relationship between equals. You hold more power in it than you may feel you do. Do not use that position to pursue sexual or romantic contact, to solicit money or labour outside the stated terms of your work, or to make someone's access to your care conditional on anything they have not freely agreed to.
Harassment, bullying, and abuse
This section applies to conduct wherever it occurs. See Where this applies, below.
Do not:
- Harass. Repeated unwanted contact, intimidation, threats of harm, sexual harassment or unwanted sexual attention, stalking, or following someone across platforms after being asked to stop.
- Bully. Public humiliation of a named or identifiable person, mocking someone's appearance, body, voice, illness, disability, poverty, or grief, or persistent belittling dressed up as feedback, discernment, or concern.
- Organise or join a pile-on. Encouraging your audience, students, or followers to contact, review-bomb, report, or attack someone. Coordinated campaigns, brigading, and the use of alternate or anonymous accounts to do what you would not do under your own name are all covered.
- Dox. Publishing or threatening to publish private information about a person without their consent — legal name, address, workplace, immigration status, health status, sexual orientation or gender history, or the identity behind a pseudonym.
- Weaponise birth data or a reading. Publishing someone's birth data without consent, or using a chart, reading, or claimed spiritual insight to publicly diagnose, pathologise, humiliate, or incite others against a specific person. Our clients hand over their birth data in trust. It does not become ammunition.
- Threaten spiritual harm. Claiming to have cursed or hexed someone, or threatening to, in order to frighten, silence, or control them.
- Retaliate. Taking action against someone — or encouraging others to — because they raised a concern, reported conduct, left a review, requested a refund, or ended their work with you.
Discrimination and identity-based harm
Do not demean, exclude, harass, or incite hostility against a person or group on the basis of race, colour, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status, caste, religion or spiritual tradition, disability, neurotype, chronic illness, age, body size, class, gender, gender identity or expression, sex characteristics, sexual orientation, family status, or HIV status.
This rule exists to protect people who are targeted because of who they are. It is not a symmetry rule, and it will not be read as one. In particular, none of the following is a violation of this section:
- Naming racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, casteism, fatphobia, or colonialism — including in the astrological and spiritual communities, including by name, and including when the person named is powerful.
- Criticism, anger, satire, or refusal directed at a dominant group, a system, or an institution — including phrases and framings that would be uncomfortable if inverted. Discomfort is not harm.
- Running, marketing, or restricting an offering to a specific community — Black practitioners, trans and nonbinary clients, disabled folks, a closed tradition's initiates, women, survivors. Affinity and closed spaces are legitimate, and a practitioner is not required to serve everyone.
- Declining to work with, platform, teach, or collaborate with someone whose conduct or stated views you find harmful.
- Describing your own experience of being targeted, including specifics.
Claims of "reverse racism," "reverse sexism," "anti-white bias," "misandry," "cisphobia," "heterophobia," or "religious persecution of the majority" are not recognised here as grounds for a report, and filing one is itself a misuse of this Code. Reports made in bad faith — to silence criticism, to retaliate, or to punish someone for naming harm — are treated as a violation of this section by the person who filed them.
We will not treat a complaint that someone was made uncomfortable by anti-oppression speech as equivalent to a complaint that someone was targeted for their identity. These are not the same thing and we will not pretend otherwise in the name of balance.
What this section does not cover
This is not a civility code and it does not protect anyone from accountability. Honest criticism, negative reviews, public disagreement about technique, ethics, lineage, or pricing, and naming a practitioner who has caused you harm are all permitted — including bluntly, including publicly, including when the subject would prefer you stayed quiet. A practitioner cannot use this Code to suppress a former client or student describing what happened to them.
Conduct in community spaces
Discussion boards, comments, shared journal entries, and member spaces on Interamnia are covered by everything above, and so is every member in them — not only practitioners.
- Members who harass, bully, dox, or target other members can have posting revoked and their portal access ended.
- If you host a space, you moderate it. A practitioner who runs a community room is responsible for what happens there. You do not have to catch everything, but leaving harassment standing once you know about it — or permitting a room where members are piled on — is your conduct, not just theirs.
- Do not use moderation tools to silence a member raising a safety concern, reporting another member, or describing harm they experienced. Removing that post is itself a violation.
- What members share inside a closed room stays there. Do not screenshot, quote, or carry a member's post, journal entry, or birth data into a public space or into another community.
Where this applies
The standards in Harassment, bullying, and abuse apply to conduct directed at clients, students, members, other practitioners, or our staff — wherever it happens. On Interamnia, on social media, in DMs, on other platforms, on a podcast or livestream, in a group chat, at a conference, or in person. A practitioner who treats people well inside their portal and runs a harassment campaign from their public account has not met this standard. There is no separate personal account for this purpose.
Separately, and regardless of whether any Interamnia client was involved: we may remove a practitioner when conduct anywhere leads us to conclude they are not safe to hold client relationships. This covers abuse, coercion, sexual misconduct, grooming, exploitation of people in their care, and violence.
How we judge it. We are not a court and we do not run one. We act on our own judgement, on the information available to us, and we look at pattern, recency, severity, and how a practitioner responds when the conduct is raised with them. We will usually talk to you first. We will not require a criminal conviction, a lawsuit, or proof beyond doubt before acting, and we will not wait for a consensus that never arrives.
What we will not do. We will not adjudicate ordinary community disputes, lineage feuds, business fallings-out, or arguments about technique. We will not remove a practitioner for holding unpopular views, for practising a tradition someone else dislikes, for their politics, or because a campaign was mounted against them. A pile-on demanding someone's removal is evidence about the people running it, not about the target.
General conduct
Beyond the specific items above, practitioners on Interamnia are expected to conduct themselves with integrity in all aspects of their practice. This includes — but is not limited to — honesty in all communications with clients, respect for client confidentiality, and operating in accordance with the laws and professional standards of their jurisdiction.
We reserve the right to remove any practitioner whose conduct, in our judgement, is harmful to clients, damaging to the broader community of practitioners, or inconsistent with the values this platform was built to serve.
Enforcement
Depending on what we find, we may: talk to you privately, require something be taken down or corrected, restrict a feature, suspend an account, or remove a practitioner permanently. Where there is a credible risk to someone's safety, we may suspend first and talk afterwards.
Removal ends your ability to sell and host on Interamnia. It does not hold your material hostage: you will be given a reasonable window to export your content, your client list, and your records, except where doing so would put someone at risk.
Reporting concerns
If you have concerns about another practitioner's conduct — on the platform or off it — or if you are a client, student, or member who has experienced harm, please contact us at kieran@interamnia.io. We take these reports seriously.
You do not need to have been the target to report something, and you do not need proof. Tell us what you saw and where. We will keep your identity confidential unless you tell us otherwise or we are legally required to disclose it, and retaliating against someone for making a report is itself grounds for removal.
This Code of Ethics may be updated as our community evolves. Material changes will be communicated to active practitioners.
