Blue Forest Coven
Age Range/Type: Adult
Located in: Middle Fork Wilderness/Deary, Idaho, Washington
Key Contact: Great ArchDruid
Spiritual Path: Correllian, Druid, Celtic
Status: Established Group
Community Support: Legal Clergy... Teaching Available
Group Overview: We are establishing a large Neopagan Coven and Sanctuary. We currently own 100 acres, (Middle Fork Wilderness, Deary, Idaho) , and would like to purchase an additional 60-100 acres of land to create a self-sustaining religious community and inter-faith Sanctuary for earth based religions. We are not a religious cult or sect. We are of the Orthodox Correllian Faith within ancient Druidic Christology. This group is intended as an adult community. Members must be over the legal age of consent (16) . We embrace a consensual Polyamrous lifestyle and Omnigamy teachings, (bonding with everyone) . Our main teachings are Witchcraft, Celtic Mythology, Dynion Mwyn, Sacred and sex magick, Thelema and Hedonism. We have established a group of dedicated participants to the Correllian faith and Druidic Christology, who come together as a fully functioning Coven. Our long term goal is to eventually establish a fully functioning self-supporting neopagan community and school. A parcel of wilderness land will be set aside to create a sacred circle and temple for holding Sabbat and full moon rituals and ceremony. We prefer to embrace an organic, natural and healthy lifestyle. We intend to live on the land and want to be joined by others who share our love of the ancient pagan traditions and Druid Christology. We have several established buildings erected on the property. We will be setting aside land close to those houses to build additional shared houses as we collectively choose. We want to establish and maintain self-sufficiency with an organic garden and greenhouse to grow many of our own vegetables, a sacred grove of apple trees and raising sheep for wool. We want to be a mix of working toward self-sustainable, financially independent. We will share food, utilities, and work equally and practice hierarchical decision making. Financial management style is members maintain and control their own independent finances, and may work outside the Coven. Equatable labor contribution expected. Tithing's are set by the leadership core group as to each members ability to contribute. We are looking for potential members and future leaders. People who are passionate about a whole new way of life. Freedom of expression, creative, emotional, sexual, spiritual, etc., is welcomed and warmly encouraged. People on an intense spiritual path, people who seek to be open with their body, emotions, sexuality, and simply sensitive individuals looking for a safe environment are all welcome. Nonviolence, respect of others, non-wastefulness and open, honest, truthfulness are a must. Please no recreational drug use other than natural plants. We teach and practice sex magick techniques, ritual sacred sensuality (Dynion Mwyn) , Tantraism and Shamanic ecstasy. You are a holy channel, your body a temple through which the God and Goddess' reveal themselves. There is no earthly reason to be ashamed of your body. The Coven is built on love, honor and respect for all. We are actively seeking new students and members who will be a good fit for our pagan family. Both skyclad (nudity) rituals and sensual touch are common tools of worship and necessary to practice Tantraism and Sacred Sex. Potential seekers should have a desire to learn and practice Celtic traditions, sacred sexuality and be willing to learn and worship the God and Goddess within the context of traditionalist ancient druid path and hierarchy, sacred druid sexuality and spirituality. The secret knowledge, not knowledge in the sense of acquiring information, but an inner knowledge of your own potential to achieve wisdom, strength, compassion, sensuality and peace. This knowledge has been protected and preserved for thousands of years, shown only to those who have a true holy desire to know.
Membership:
To be considered for membership in our Coven, the aspirant would need to contact us using the e-mail listed in this ad, in which they will be sent a membership questionnaire, where we will ask the aspirant to tell us about their outlook on life, the Craft and paganism in general. We will ask you to tell us how long you have been practicing witchcraft. We will ask which path or tradition you follow. We will inquire if you are a solitary practitioner or former member of a Coven, and any degree level you have achieved, which may be transferable to our Coven. (Any initiated degree level held in the Correllian tradition, other than solitary initiation, is transferable. An initinated degree in a Celtic or Welsh tradition is transferable as an "Honorary" degree, if you choose not to be initiated into the Correllian tradition) . We will want to know if you hold any certification or higher education degree in any pagan field of study. If you are "Ordained". Honorary clergy status in the Inner Court is granted to initiated clergy of other traditions, who have not pursued Correllian clerical training. If you only wish additional information or have questions, please ask by e-mail. During the interview process, plan to spend a few days with us as our guest. Once the membership questionnaire is completed and returned to the Coven, a contact member will contact the aspirant and arrange a date and appointment for your personal interview with the Great ArchDruid, High Priest and/or High Priestess. During the interview we offer introductory discussions to explain our rites and traditions. All questions the aspirant may have in regard to the Coven and lifestyle will be completely answered. A tour and meeting with other Coven members will be conducted. At the conclusion of the interview, the aspirant will be given a Word Doc, with the Coven's rules, constitution, by-laws, and teachings of our Order, to review. If at the conclusion of the interview the aspirant wishes to become a member and enter the Dedicant program, further instructions will be given. Our contact e-mails are: Joseph, Great ArchDruid, (ipsissimus.druid@gmail.com) . Roxiana, High Priestess, (sensitoria.roxiana@gmail.com) . Wendy, Lay Mentor (wendy.starfire@gmail.com) .
