Our tribal Values are: 1. Autonomy; 2. Cooperativeness; 3. Courage; 4. Generosity; 5. Honor; 6. Hospitality; 7. Family; 8. Frankness; 9. Friendship; 10. Moderation; 11. Simplicity; and, 12. Steadfastness.

We are family (children) friendly. We have many ongoing secular activities including Drumming, Crafts (soap making, mead brewing, textiles, etc.), Environmental Stewardship, Camping and Intellectual Discussions.

Religious activities include Heathen Liturgical Blots (include a pot-luck feast one Saturday a month); "family dinner" (Heathen Night Out); and camping weekends (in warm weather). These events are rarely held the same weekend.

NORTHERN VIRGINIA

 

DEEPSTAR

CITY: Northern Virginia

TRADITION OR SPIRITUAL PATH: Gardnerian

CONTACT NAME: Olorin

EMAIL: Deepstar@Rocketmail.com

UPDATED: 2/3/2025

 

Our Coven was founded in 1972 by three members of the Long Island Coven who hived to form the first Gardnerian Coven in southern New Jersey. We celebrate the growth of our members who have gone forward and founded their own groups. We also celebrate the relocation of our covenstead to Northern Virginia.

With the blessing and support of our High Priestess we are now practicing in Northern Virginia, and will be starting a training group in Spring or early summer 2025 to foster the next generation of those interested in the path of Traditional Gardnerian Craft.

The Gardnerian practice of witchcraft is wide and deep. It is rooted in the land, and we hold reverence for all Life. We commune with the spirits of place, and honor those who have gone before. Our God and Goddess connect us to the Land beneath our feet, to the Underworld, to the Planets and Stars above, to the Mysteries of the ancient world, and to Lore and Craft — little valued by mainstream culture. Each Coven is a unique blend of talent and interests.

We continue to be a working coven with a focus mainly on healing and the worship of the old Gods.

ORDER OF GOLD

TRADITION OR SPIRITUAL PATH: Eclectic

CONTACT NAME: SunCrone

Welcome to Our (Slightly Chaotic, But Loving) Online Coven!

Hey there, fellow travelers of the mystical realms! Welcome to our online coven, a digital haven for those who feel the pull of the moon, hear the rustle of the leaves, and strongly suspect their cat is secretly a witch's familiar. We're still in the process of organizing our enchanted bookshelves, but we're building a vibrant community dedicated to exploring the wonderfully diverse world of pagan practice. 

Think of us as a cauldron that's simmering nicely... it might take a minute to reach a full boil, but we promise the brew will be worth the wait. We are a welcoming space where ancient traditions share a virtual coffee with modern ideas, and where your unique magic, wisdom, and spirit (and maybe a few pet hairs) adds to the richness of our collective experience. Our coven embraces the whole glorious spectrum of pagan beliefs, from honoring the earth beneath our feet to celebrating deities from every corner of the pantheon. 

In this space, we hope to: 

**Connect and share: We'll gather online to share stories, exchange knowledge, and perhaps show off pictures of our fur babies (or scale babies, or feather babies – all familiars welcome!). **Learn and grow: We'll delve into the mysteries of our paths together, because adulting is hard, and sometimes you just need to talk about the craft with like-minded souls. 

**Celebrate the Wheel of the Year (and try not to let the cat knock over the virtual altar): We'll honor the moon's cycles and mark the turning of the seasons with online rituals and celebrations, from Samhain's spooky charm to Lughnasadh's abundance. 

**8To aid you on your quest for arcane knowledge, we're assembling a Google Drive of textual treasures, including articles, spell pages, Wiccan and rare witchcraft books, and Canva graphics (because even magic-makers appreciate good design). 

Whether you're a seasoned witch, a green witch in training, or just curious about the whole pagan thing, you're welcome to join our slightly unconventional crew. Here, within our circle (which is more like a friendly, ever-expanding blob right now), you'll find acceptance, understanding, and a shared passion for the endless adventure that is the pagan path. Together, let's explore the boundless possibilities of magic, nurture our souls (and give our familiars extra treats), as we walk the winding road of the old ways.
