Welcome to Gaia! ::

Are you in a coven, or are you alone in magick? Post here if you wish to express your ideas and details on how you practice magick.

I was in a coven at an earlier time and was comfortable with it, but when I was in the coven during that time, it was "One minute I'm in a coven, the next I'm solitary". I found myself stuck between two different opinions from being in the coven. I think it's fine to practice magick with other people, but sometimes you lose your own well-found mind or opinions from it. So I decided to take a break. The downside is now that I don't practice and learn more magick as occasionally as I used to. My idea is that, if your in a coven, don't spend every life-threating moment with them. Have a weekly schedule, like on the weekends or an hour or so in the evenings. I hope my explanation is understandable.

I've never really functioned in a coven, per se. I function more in a pack setting if that makes any sense. Since stumbling upon therianism and figuring out exactly what I was I have found more people in my area that are the same way, even if they don't call it the same thing. I play the connector of the group considering some of them don't really know each other except through myself. We don't get together to discuss magical theory or do mass workings or anything like that but we do go to each other if we need help with a working. Plus with four of us being wolves we function a lot like a traditional pack as far as basic principles go. There are alphas, pups, ect. There aren't that many of us to have a true hierarchy but we have our own method.
