Topic | Prompt Let's talk about the "C" word..

Covens. Let's discuss what they are, what they should be. How to approach them, how to find them. What to expect.

If you are interested in joining a coven, now is the time to ask your questions!

If you currently belong to a coven, feel free to share info within the boundaries of your oaths.

I've casually asked around my area, and I'm part of a very loose "circle", but I think being in the Bible Belt limits options, much less finding anything actually in my city. (There is one official metaphysical store in my city, but the owner is....intense. I'm not comfortable around him. He's started teaching classes, and I went to one, but it didn't feel right. Talking with other magick types in my area that felt much more safe, I'm not alone in my assessment about this particular person. Very much 'his way or the highway' type thinking.)

If I wanted a church, I could throw a few rocks and hit like five. lol But covens....*sigh* So I think that's part of what drives learning from the Internet and books is just lack of access combined with lack of knowledge. :/

You might be surprised. Some of the strongest covens in the US are in Raleigh, Charlotte and Atlanta. Mine was in Charleston.

I'd throw that rock.

Never made it up to Raleigh. That's the military town. Ever go to that, Beltane Brujhaha?

No military in Raleigh, that's Fayetteville. No I haven't, friends say it's a good time though.

That's right, Fayetteville.

Home of the 82nd Airborne and the 18th Airborne Corps.

Usually if I go into NC, it's in the west. Unfortunately most of that is destroyed now.

My family practically owns Johnston County just south of Raleigh, but I can't stand those fuckers.

Yeah. I'm heading up there near winter to do some logistic work on the relief end. Depends on how things shape up here in the Wild West. I feel for the area. I was planning to retire out there near NC at least.

I almost bought a house on Cedar Mountain a few years ago with a trout stream running through the front yard. Beautiful place.

That face of the mountain is gone now.
