MOUNT AIRY
VELA GROVE
CITY: Mount Airy
TRADITION OR SPIRITUAL PATH: Blue Star
CONTACT NAME: Teazel
WEBSITE: VELA GROVE
Vela is a Grove/Coven in the Blue Star Tradition. We are a teaching group with an emphasis on worshiping the Gods. Vela began in 2010 as a sponsored Grove. Vela regularly holds New Moon Esbats and Sabbats. We are currently accepting new students.
We serve the DC Metro Area, and welcome members from Northern VA, DC and Maryland.
Vela places an emphasis on grove learning with many classes available both in person and online for those who are dedicated. With Blue Star’s tradition of a laity/congregation, we realize that not everyone wants or is suited for initiation and clergy, and have created many classes for those who choose to stay as dedicants as well as those who choose to continue on the path towards initiation.
Please visit our website for more information. There is a form to fill out if you are interested in joining us.
ROCKVILLE
HEARTSONG COVEN
CITY: Rockville Area
TRADITION OR SPIRITUAL PATH: Gardnerian
CONTACT NAME: AuraLea & Sassafras
EMAIL: ocheartsong@gmail.com
HeartSong Coven is a Traditional Gardnerian coven. We trace our lineage back to Gerald Gardner via the Long Island line.
We worship the Lady and the Lord through monthly Esbat rituals, and celebrate the eight Sabbats of the wheel.
The training group of HeartSong Coven is called Haven Grove. The Grove meets biweekly for esoteric discussion, training exercises, ritual, and socialization. There is never a fee, although members are asked to share in cakes, wine, and snacks. After the proverbial year and a day, trainees may ask for initiation into HeartSong Coven and Gardnerian Craft.
HeartSong's HP & HPS are both located on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and travel two hours west each coven meeting. It is very common that coven members and Seekers/Pagans alike travel 1+ hours for training and/or meetups. That being said, we welcome anyone from the DMV area, though are happy to point you in the direction of another available coven outside of Maryland if need be (when available).
