This video is part of “Day 7: Self-Dedication” in the Wicca Initiation Course. We discuss the pros and cons of being a solitary practitioner against being part of a Coven or Circle of Witches.

“Coven” is the name used to describe a gathering of Witches. The word is a variation of the mid 17th century English word “covin” which meant “to convene” or meet. Covent also meant “group of men or women in a monastery or convent”. The association of this spelling of the word with witches, arose in Scotland but was not popularized until Sir Walter Scott used it in this sense in “Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft” (1830).

The word then remained almost unused until 1921, when Margaret Murray – now discredited – stated that witches in Europe gathered in groups of thirteen members which they called “covens”. Her book “The Witch-Cult in Western Europe” (1921) was the cornerstone for Gerald Gardner’s “Witchcraft Today” (1954), which later influenced entire generations of Witches and Wiccans.

“Coven” became the default name for any gathering of Neopagans, Witches, or Wiccans, either celebrating a Sabbat, performing a rite, or simply studying. Here’s a video discussing the pros and cons of belonging to a coven, and what precautions a new Witch should have when joining a Pagan circle.

In this video, you’ll learn the history of covens of real witches, what type of rituals covens celebrate, and what rules Wiccan covens follow.
