Our coven runs out of Devon and Dorset.
In keeping with tradition, our Craft training is offered Free of Charge. Satisfactory completion of the training may lead to initiation into the mysteries for those compatible with our coven.
Fundamental to our practice is keeping the magic and traditions alive within the craft. However, self development , growth and pushing boundaries is a key focus for our group members. There will be homework.

MORETON-IN-MARSH
THE COTSWOLD COVEN
CITY: Moreton-in-Marsh/ Glastonbury
TRADITION OR SPIRITUAL PATH: Traditional Witchcraft
CONTACT NAME: Veronika
WEBSITE: THE COTSWOLD COVEN
UPDATED: 11/22/2020
Our coven was formed back in the early 1960’s by a group of dedicated folklore enthusiasts with a particular interest in the witchcraft of the Cotswolds. Gerald Gardner’s books on Wicca inspired them to use some of the Wiccan practices outlined by Gardner as a platform upon which to place local Traditional Witchcraft practices.
We are based in the Cotswolds and honour the local spirits and the sacred places of which there are many, some well known and others less so. Our Tradition venerates both God and Goddess equally, however we do not demand that our members adhere to specific forms of God and Goddess, but leave this to the individual.
We believe that witchcraft should be experiential, ‘armchair witchcraft’ is not for us. We try to hold outdoor Esbat and Sabbat rituals as much as possible – weather permitting – and in doing so, connect with the Gods, the spirits, the land and our ancient ancestors.
We enjoy group work, but also encourage our members to practice alone and share their experiences with us. We are a close and friendly coven and welcome sincere seekers whether experienced or complete beginners. We believe in mutual respect, loyalty, openness and honesty.
No payments or hidden payments are required, teaching and membership is free.
