As it says in the name, open-mindedness is certainly a key value in our coven. All ideas, topics, and perspectives are welcome and will be discussed openly and on a platform of mutual respect and a willingness to disagree. There is no censorship in this space, and the only intolerance found within is of intolerance itself (for the sake of tolerance to be preserved). We also discourage heavily any kind of persistent or unhealthy delusional mindsets. This is not a coven for the easily offended, but rather for those who easily offend.
Those who are interested in joining in-person events (as marked on the calendar) at our covenstead near Charleston, WV, please reach out to us to discuss the possibility at covenoftheopenmind@gmail.com. There is no requirement to participate to join our servers, our public rituals, or get to know us. Almost everything we do is free and open to the public. Much of our membership is online and remote participation is welcome. Check out our calendar for upcoming events.
Our rituals are largely Wiccan in theme, though at times more eclectic, even delving into chaos witchcraft. We work with a balance of light, dark, and chaos energy sources in ritual, calling upon many forms of divinity at different times suiting the occassion. We all have our own beliefs and personal practices, and each of us is seeking knowledge, betterment, and the ability to lead. Please email us with interest in joining as an acolyte or leader (for those with past experience, you do not need to start over, just certify your knowledge to join), and see our courses page if you are a beginner or would like a more formal learning track.
