C: Why are they dancing? I: They make wishes. C: Will their wishes come true? I: You were my wish and now you think of nothing but me.

I think for a lot of witches who aren't in covens, the desire to be in a coven is really just the desire to have real-life friends who practice.

(I'm speaking as a witch who is not and has never been in a coven, and currently has no desire to be.)

I absolutely see the value of covens, and I have some thoughts about the use of covens in community building, social justice witchcraft and mutual aid brewing (no pun intended), but I think a lot of people seek out a coven when what they really want are people to share their practice with who can give knowledge and resources in return.

I'm lucky to have half-a-dozen friends interested in witchcraft in my local community, and having them around gives me so much motivation to practice more and more often. even when I've actually practiced with only one or two of them, we're constantly giving each other resources that helped us and extra materials we no longer need. the impulse from beginner witches especially, I've found, comes from wanting specific personal guidance from a witch they perceive as more experienced. The best way to form these personal connections, in my experience, is to have friends who are friends first, fellow witches second.

in all honesty I don't know what I'm trying to say with this other than:

go seek out people with similar interests as you in witchy spaces, go seek out witchy people in spaces related to your other interests, and be there to help your friends who are interested in practicing. it can be unbelievably valuable to your practice and your interpersonal life.

Unironically,

I think the oath of swearing into the Circle in the movie The Craft is one of the best coven ceremonies I've ever seen.

To the tune of, "It is wiser to thrust yourself upon this blade (held to the throat of another), than to enter this circle with fear in your heart. How do you choose to enter?"

"In perfect love & perfect trust."

Considering that sharing a Circle with others makes you much more susceptible to feel their feelings. That bringing fear into a sacred space can mess with the vibe.

Is it edgy? Yes.

Have I used it as a regular part of my practice since I was 15? Also yes.
