The coven of witches is an association of women who possess magical abilities . It is based on friendly or even family relations, and to get into the organization some outsider simply can not. In such communities, all are equal and all members participate in making any decisions.
What is the great coven?
Such groups include witches, who are engaged in one thing. Become a member can not everyone, but only a person who received a personal invitation, and if his participation was approved by all witches. Agreeing to join such a community, a person assumes certain obligations. Many witches come to the covens in order to develop their abilities and use the opportunities that only coven has. There are organizations in which there is a certain hierarchy based on knowledge and existing experience. In modern associations there is only the main priestess of the coven, and all other participants are equal among themselves. Its functions include the following duties:
- to be the head of the coven;
- to supervise all conducted rituals;
- share knowledge and transfer experience to other witches.
In some cases, the priestess can appoint her deputy, who is called the "Virgo." Such people can perform the functions of the chief in the coven or serve as an assistant. There are also organizations where there are no principal ones at all, and the duties of the priestess are performed by the members in turn. All members of the coven can do their own business, but at the same time there is a mandatory joint work aimed at awakening, collecting and concentrating energy. A coven of strong witches is going to hold esbats and sabbats, and even in case of unforeseen situations, for example, when one member has to be healed. Basically
Conspiracies from the coven and other information pertaining to the organization are confidential. In some communities it is also forbidden to disclose the names of all members. Because participation in the coven is voluntary, the witch can leave it at any time, but even then she must keep secrets and not give out hidden information.
