The Real Witches' Coven: The Definite Guide to Forming Your Own Wiccan Group Kate West
This work aims to tell you all you you need to know about how to start and run a coven (a meeting of witches). If you've read a general introduction to the Craft and immediately want to start a coven now, then this book should be able to help. A guide specifically aimed at those who want to set up a coven, but may need support with running and organizing it after the first six to 12 months, the book should be a perfect follow-up and next step to The Real Witches' Handbook. It takes the would-be High Priestess or High Priest through the choosing of coven members, the setting and enforcing of rules and regulations, the initiations and other rituals. As well as suggesting what rituals to hold (why and when), the author also advises on possible pitfalls and how to organize (and control) a coven generally, illustrated with her own real-life anecdotes. Each chapter concludes with a piece which gives practical examples of the subjects discussed in the text.
