We are an open coven made up of members from many paths and walks of life (we have both male and female members, ranging from ages 25 to 73! ). We are based in the Upper Valley region of New Hampshire and Vermont. We have been gathering twice a month for ten years and we welcome sincere new people. Tied together by our love of earth-based spiritual paths and practices, we get together for book discussions and personal sharing and support, seasonal sabbat ceremony and celebration, field trips, fire circles, potlucks, and rituals that explore the old and new ways. Our practices lean towards Wicca, but we are always excited to learn about and incorporate new traditions. We try not to take ourselves too seriously, have fun being out of the broom closet and we laugh (and sing) a lot, as well as share support for those following a pagan path.
