We welcome applications from those with a genuine and sincere interest in following the Craft.

New members begin with a traditional thirteen-moon period of learning and integration. During this time, you will get to know the group, take part in our activities and many of our rituals, and begin your journey with us. At the end of this period, you may be eligible to apply for membership of the main coven.

Our work is rooted in nature, the changing seasons, the elements, and the spirits and deities of the local land. We work predominantly outdoors, often in woodland, and follow the turning of the Wheel of the Year. We encourage each person to develop their own connection with magic while learning and growing within the traditions and ethos of the group.

You will be introduced to the foundations of witchcraft as well as the ways of our coven. As we work closely together, openness, honesty, respect and acceptance of others are essential. We value both group and individual development, and encourage members to explore their own path and share their experiences.

Our coven is a close-knit group of people from a variety of backgrounds and levels of experience. We aim to build trust, rapport and a strong sense of shared purpose through working together over time.

You will need to be located in and around our local area of Stockport, Tameside and Manchester UK and have the means to travel easily in the evenings to coven meetings.

We generally meet once a fortnight for rituals, magical work, learning and social gatherings.

Please note:

• We never accept anyone under 30 years of age into our coven, our training or to any meetings or rituals and we will never enter into any correspondence with anyone under the age of 18.  
• You will need to be located in and around our local area of Stockport, Tameside and Manchester UK and have the means to travel easily in the evenings to coven meetings.
• Acceptance into the training year does not automatically mean acceptance into the main coven.
