Merry Meet!
Coven Oldenwilde was founded on Samhain, 1994, and meets in Asheville, North Carolina, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We are a group of Witches who use ancient magical principles for the betterment of life, the continuance of the Universe, and the glorification of the Gods. Such principles are based on the wisdom of the Wiccan Rede (rule) "An it harm none, do what ye will" and upheld by the observance of the traditional Wiccan Laws.
Members of Oldenwilde specialize in different magical talents, contributing to rituals elements such as spells, chants, songs and dances. Though we believe in many Gods, we especially esteem the Lady of the night, Hecate, and the Lord of the hunt, Herne.
Appreciative of its scope, we work with time, using prophecy and divination, astral planes and past-life regression both to learn from history and to be forewarned of the future. We show our reverence for time by conducting magical working meetings (circles) in accordance with the cycles of the Moon and Sun.
In consideration of life and time, we celebrate the seasonal sacred days of:
When the year is complete, we begin the cycle anew.
Our coven works independently of our students, who perfect their magical knowledge and talents before possible inclusion.
Oldenwilde does magic with the Wiccan community at large through the year and as needed.
We empower our circles with support from the elements Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, and layers of correspondences (complementary enhancers) such as color, music, candlelight or moonlight, incenses, and oils for specific occasions.
We honor and hold these rites of passage for our members and others:
We acknowledge our members' spiritual growth in three ceremonies:
As priests and priestesses, we aid our members and others with knowledge of herbal medicine and alternative healing techniques, fertility issues, and spells as necessary.
Seekers or interested Witches are encouraged to e-mail us about opportunities to attend Oldenwilde public rites, or to find out how to begin studying traditional Wicca.
Coven Oldenwilde is a non-profit religious organization, as defined by Section 501(c)(3) of the federal tax code.
We keep public Sabbats free, fight bigoted laws, and perpetuate the Olde Religion a thousand ways a day.
