You can use our public material which we have designated as creative commons with attribution and share alike. That means that you're free to use any of it as long as you say where it's coming from whether the Ascension Glossary or the Energetic Synthesis site, and you don't copyright the material when it's used with your other work. You can take something from the Ascension Glossary and expand on it, which is called a derivative work and even charge for it, as for example when you charge for a class and use the material in a class of yours. However, you must still identify that you're using our material. The portions of the class or media where you use our material cannot be copyrighted, and must be shared under creative commons. | |||
Please note that this applies to the freely shared materials and does not apply to the private website materials or those sold in the shop. If you share freely what is in the shop, that undermines our efforts and may prevent us from sharing as much information publicly as we currently do. | |||
Also note that YouTube and other platforms' terms of service may not be congruent with the creative commons licenses. | |||
If you use an image on a website, you must put a caption with proper credit (i.e. "Image credit AscensionGlossary.com CC-BY-SA") If you use the image in a video, you must mention the attribution and license somewhere in the credits. | |||
The point of us doing this is so we can share as much material as possible freely while at the same time protecting it, as much as we can, from being misrepresented or distorted. That's why the attribution is crucial. Being clear about the source of the material will help with transparency and avoid anything from festering in the confusion, and therefore better protecting you. ~''Lisa Renee and Tomás Michael'' | |||
