So, we're a small coven built of quality members. We follow no specific path, other than that of seeking knowledge. We have an eclectic mix of Wiccans, druid, neo-shamanic practitioners, Hoodoo practicioners, LHP devotees, pagan pantheists, and monotheistic spiritualists. What we all share in common, is a insatiable hunger for knowledge, mutual respect, and a tight-knit family-like environment.
If you're seriously dedicated to pursuing knowledge of the craft regardless of path, and want to dedicate time and energy to both your own personal growth, and that of the group, please get in contact with us for more info!
We do have a local meeting group, but we are admittedly mostly online. This way, we stay open to anyone worldwide with a good internet connection, Facebook, and a strong desire to grow in their own path.
