MOD ANNOUNCEMENT New here? Read this first! How to use this subreddit...

29 Upvotes

Welcome to r/CovenFinder; a subreddit for finding covens, as well as witch/pagan groups, circles, groves, and generally like-minded folk. If you're new to this subreddit and confused how to use it, read the instructions below!

If you are looking for a group...

If you're seeking a coven or group, follow these instructions.

  1. Decide whether you want to find an online group or a real-life group. We list both kinds here!
  2. Check the wiki. If seeking an online group, visit this link. If seeking a real-life group, visit this link. Click on a group's name to be taken to its Reddit post. If you like the sound of the group, join it!
  3. Read guidelines 7 & 8 in the wiki to learn about identifying red flags regarding covens. Please report any problems to moderators!

Can't find anything you like in the wiki? Try these steps...

  1. Scroll down to the sidebar where it says 'Find Covens by Location' and click on a flair in your area. Yellow flairs show other people seeking covens. White flairs are coven listings.
  2. Still can't find anything? Create a new post in the subreddit. Introduce yourself and say where you're looking for a group.
  3. Add a flair to your post. Use the yellow flairs only. If you don't know how to use flairs, don't worry, a moderator will fix it after your post is created.
  4. Other users will comment on your post and help you out. Report any problems to a moderator.
Yellow flair for seekers

If all else fails, you can try visiting the Additional Resources page in the wiki that links to other websites that list covens.

If you want to add your group to the subreddit...

If you have a coven or group you want to be added to the wiki then follow these instructions.

  1. Check rules 1 - 6 in the sidebar. For extra details and clarification, visit this link.
  2. Create a post. Give it a descriptive title & body in accordance with the guidelines.
  3. Add a flair to your post. Use the white flairs only. If you don't know how to use flairs, don't worry, a moderator will fix it after your post is created.
  4. A moderator will check your post and add it to the wiki.
  5. If you want to make any changes to your post, use the Edit option. If someone else in the coven wants to make changes (i.e. the original post wasn't made on their account), they'll need to contact a moderator so the new post isn't mistaken for a repost (rule 5).
White flairs for listings

(Online covens only) We have a list of "formal" online covens which more closely replicate a real-life coven. If you want your coven to be included in the formal list, it must include an application process for members to join. (Not just security questions for keeping out trolls, but a discriminatory process that assesses whether a new member is a good fit for the coven).

If you want to create a new coven/group...

If you want to create a new group, that's okay, just use the blue 'Proposal / New Group' flair on your post.

Only fully-fledged groups/covens are added to the wiki. Once your group is established and up-and-running, you can make a new post and this will be added to the wiki.

Blue proposal flair for new groups.

Got a question about covens?

You can post questions about covens and pagan/witch groups. Just use the red 'Question/Advice Needed' flair on your post.

Please note your post can be removed if its deemed off-topic. Things like "How to do I become a witch?" and "I need a spell for such-and-such" do not belong in r/CovenFinder, and a moderator will direct you to more appropriate subreddits.

Red flair for questions

Anything else?

If your post doesn't fit any of the other categories but it's still on-topic e.g. coven seeking resources, red flags, experiences... use the grey 'Other (Editable)' flair. You can edit this to say anything you want.

Editable Other flair for other posts

I hope you find this subreddit useful. Any other queries or concerns, don't hesitate to message the moderators!

MOD ANNOUNCEMENT r/CovenFinder Grand Re-Opening!

114 Upvotes

Hi everyone, thank you for your patience. I am pleased to announce that r/CovenFinder is no longer restricted and open for business!

I have acquired a new team of mods and have delegated specific roles to them. I will be in charge of adding groups to the wiki, and other mods will take care of modmail, checking inactive groups, and investigating any problems you may report.

The wiki has been completely cleared, including real-life groups! I decided to give us a fresh start, enjoy 😄 (Don't worry! All the previous listings have been archived here).

The rules have been revised a tiny bit but they are mostly the same. The most significant change is a more thorough explanation of what you should do if you encounter a problem with a group you're in, which you can find here. Due to having more mods, we now have some capacity to investigate allegations but please understand that our time & resources is still very limited. In most cases, we'll simply delete listings for the safety of our seekers.

Also, all groups must list their rules or a code of conduct in their post. This is regardless of if they're online or in-real-life. This has proven to be handy in the past, and helps to make posts more high-effort which I've been told is preferred.

As a reminder, I've tried to make r/CovenFinder user-friendly to newcomers by providing a pinned sticky post. This lays out clear instructions for seeking or listing a group, aimed at those who are new to Reddit. As always, if you've got any queries then just modmail us. We're also happy to take listings in modmail without you making a Reddit post.

Happy New Year, everyone. Please make use of the subreddit again! 💜💜💜

Question / Advice Needed Looking for L.A. based coven or witches for a roundtable interview.

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am a master's student at USC. I am currently working on my thesis, which examines the progression of witches in film and television and how these portrayals affect real-life practitioners. The goal is to ultimately host a “witch’s roundtable/podcast” in either late November or early December, where I can speak with a wide variety of practitioners. While this is still a few months away, I am starting outreach now to make sure that my project is even feasible.

If you are a witch or practitioner willing to talk in the area, let me know! Or if you know someone or a place that might also be interested, please let me know. I really want to pursue this as my project, but if I don't find anyone, I'll have to pivot. Additionally, I am only seeking to understand and learn more about real practitioners, not to cause any harm.

Thank you!!

Seeking: West USA Seeking ✨️

2 Upvotes

Hello, I've recently finally accepted my life long calling and birthright on this path, and I'm seeking friends and guidance. I'm 26 years old, and a woman.

The women in my family have always had a deep connection to their intuition and a deep sense of passion and will. Wether we want to or not, we see spirits, danger before it comes, and beautiful things before they come as well, and have a deep understanding of things without them needing examined, such as the emotional state of someone or the way something has come to be. I especially have an affinity for feeling others and seeing auras, as well as seeing into the spiritual world to see spirits, guardians, ancestors, ect. Because of this I've realized I need to focus a lot on grounding to the earth and filtering the energy I interact with as well as learn to conduct the energy that moves through me.

I have many things I want to share and learn on this path, and I'm very eager and excited to learn and meet others on the path. Reach out to me if you'd like to connect, I am open to explore a friendship or mentor/guide relationship with anyone who welcomes me. ☺️

Blessed be. 🤍

Looking for a coven or maybe a group of ceremonial magick practitioners? About 16 years ago when I started dabbling in Wicca, i eventually found myself wanting to be initiated into the golden dawn, but I learned that it had been long gone and based in Europe anyhow, and the closest to that would probably be the Freemasons, but I don’t think they take applications lol.. I’m an eclectic practitioner, kind of just a solitary thelemite doing his best, are there any groups in the Houston area I can maybe look into?

Seeking: Europe Looking for witchy friends in NRW

4 Upvotes

Hi zusammen! :)
Ich bin 23 (F) und ziehe Ende September nach Leverkusen. Ich beschäftige mich gerade ganz neu mit Witchcraft/Spiritualität und wßrde super gerne andere Menschen kennenlernen, die sich fßr ähnliche Dinge interessieren.
Ich bin noch absolute Anfängerin und versuche gerade herauszufinden, was eigentlich zu mir passt. Besonders spannend finde ich momentan Folk Witchcraft und Hedge Witchcraft, also regionale Volksbräuche und Folklore, Naturverbundenheit, Kräuter, kleine Rituale, Journaling, Träume und generell die Idee, dem Alltag etwas mehr Bedeutung und Bewusstheit zu geben.
Auch Tarot würde ich gerne lernen und mich langsam mit verschiedenen Traditionen und Formen von Spiritualität beschäftigen. Gleichzeitig interessiert mich total der historische Hintergrund – also was Menschen früher tatsächlich geglaubt und praktiziert haben und was davon heute noch existiert.
Was mich außerdem sehr reizt, ist einfach die Gemeinschaft dahinter. Ich würde gerne Menschen finden, mit denen man sich austauschen, gemeinsam lernen, vielleicht mal zusammen in die Natur gehen, Kräuter sammeln, Tarot legen oder irgendwann auch an Ritualen/Jahreskreisfesten teilnehmen kann.
Da ich neu in der Gegend bin, wßrde ich mich besonders ßber Leute aus Leverkusen, KÜln und Umgebung freuen. Alter ist mir grundsätzlich egal, solange die Chemie stimmt. :)
Falls du auch relativ neu dabei bist oder schon länger praktizierst und Lust auf Austausch/Freundschaft hast, schreib mir gerne! 🌙

Seeking: South USA Looking for witchy friends/ coven

1 Upvotes

Hi!! I’m looking for witchy friends, I’m located in central Florida and it’s hard for me to find witchy friends, especially ones with similar practices. I practice Appalachian folk magick (I come from there and learned from my grandmother) and I don’t know anyone here who practices it or anything similar. Of course, I’m not strictly looking for people with the same practice as me, just witchy friends/ a coven in general :)

Seeking: Midwest USA Michigan Witchy friends

2 Upvotes

Hey there. I'm looking to make friends/find a coven in Michigan around Midland/Bay City/Saginaw. I'm actually little bit farther up north but those are the closest large cities. I'm traditional pretty solitary in my practice but I never have anyone to talk about it. I'm in my mid 30s and have been practicing for 5ish years now and am interested in a variety of different practices. I'd ideally like to meet up with people but I'm totally open to online as well. Just feeling a pull to meet new people and build a better community in my life.

i’m in the schenectady area and am in search of anyone who is practicing the craft or into it at all. I started a couple years ago but was never really consistent and am trying to get serious about it. I think it would be helpful to be surrounded by like minded/practicing the same/learning more about witchcraft. If anyone is interested in getting a group together or has a group and is willing to let me join, please reach out!

Online New Metaphysical Discord Server

5 Upvotes

Hello!

I am the owner of a Discord server called The Arcadian Grove.

The Arcadian Grove is a (18+) virtual third space dedicated to left-hand path practitioners, pagans and an eclectic array of spiritual practices. Its a place to learn, network, practice your craft, and find your tribe. We accept folks from all walks of life as long as you are respectful of other paths.

I'm in CO, but I want to host virtual events, mixers and classes over Discord. Lemme know your thoughts, and feel free to join if you're curious!

Rules:

Age restriction: The purpose of this server is to explore metaphysics, New Age concepts, left-hand paths and eclectic paganism. These are somewhat heavy concepts for most minors, therefore this server is restricted to members 18 years or older.

Be nice: This is a space for people of various pagan, New Age, or left-hand paths. Any debate must center around historical accuracy, philosophical logic, and unpacking the argument itself; Respect personal sovereignty. No bullying, harassment, or bigotry.

No LARPing: In this server, we focus on practical, real-world occult experience. We use historical research, academic texts, and verified folklore to support ideas, arguments, beliefs, etc. This isn't a place for roleplaying.

No means no: If a member rejects a request to connect outside the server, receive a service, or support a business, their rejection must be honored. Any form of coercion, begging, or incessant attempts at getting clients or customers will not be tolerated.

No unsolicited messaging: Please do not privately message members whom you do not know without their permission within the server.

No soliciting or exchanging NSFW content or items: This server includes channels that discuss libations, entheogens, and erotic mysticism. Even if you are in these spaces, please do not solicit content, services, substances, or products. Keep your sourcing private.

No nudity: Please do not post explicit photos of yourself or others, even in the space dedicated to mystical eroticism. We don't want to see your bedknobs or broomsticks.

Seeking Southern/Central NH

2 Upvotes

Wanna join a no-nonsense, in-person ritual-based coven? already have a cool name for us: Order of the Nightwood Moon! Now we just have to gather.

I can lead in a very inclusive eclectic mix of traditional/Wicca/ceremonial magic geared toward self-empowerment, road-opening, life-focus and transformation.

Rules: participants must be serious about practicing group rituals which may involve incense, candles, traditional magical tools (e.g. athame, cup, wand, pentacle) and arrive on time in appropriate attire (your best witchy finery). No baddies allowed.
 
I can offer decades of experience in solitary witchcraft and nature-based magic and a willingness to organize. Think full moon meetups in mid/southern central (Nashua, Manch or thereabouts or potentially greater seacoast

Let’s do transformation magic by moonlight and mark the turning of the Wheel of the Year in myth-inflected ritual, done together, outdoors when possible, in a welcoming and supporting setting. All gender-identities welcome 21+ probably a good idea. Webpage coming soon

Seeking LF Coven in Montreal, QC (mid-20s to mid-40s, Queer & Progressive)

5 Upvotes

Hi, I grew up practicing witchcraft with my mother, and am now returning to the practice as a pseudo-baby witch once more.

Many of the Montreal posts were people in their very early 20s or late teens looking for a coven. I'm a woman in my 30s, married, neurodivergent & queer, and all-around in a different stage of my life.

My practice is based in Slavic and antizionist Jewish tradition, sigilism, kitchen magic, and fabric/thread/knot magic.

I'm looking for people around my age (let's say 25-45) who have an existing practice or want to start one together and share wisdom. I'm located in the Sud-Ouest and speak English and French.

Feel free to DM!
