Beltane

Greater Sabbat



Date: Usually celebrated on May 1st


Lore: The first time the God and Goddess make love. She is impregnated.


Sabbat Focus: Fertility is embraced at this time. We ask for fertility for our crops, ourselves, and our animals. This is a time of vitality and consummation of many aspects of life. This is also a time to help others. If you believe in elves and fairies you might want to leave offerings to them.


Activities: You can collect spring flowers and place them around your cauldron. The maypole is also a popular activity, the pole is a phallic symbol. It is a pole that has ribbons tied on them. The celebrators skip around the pole holding a ribbon so they wind into a beautiful patern. Couples who want to concieve might jump over a cauldron while holding hands. Handcrafts are very popular this time of the year. Many people like to build a shrine in their gardens during the time of Beltane.


Herbs: Any flowers, angelica, apple, ash, bluebell, calendula, cinquefoil, red clover, honeysuckle, lilac, primerose, rowan, strawberry, woodruff.

What We Do

We do offer Tarot Readings.
Worry not though, because unlike almost every other site out there, we give our readings for free. There is no charge.


We are also here to answer any questions you may have about your chosen path.
If you are still looking for your path, we are here to answer any questions you may have about finding out which path is right for you. There are many who come to Wicca willingly only to find that it is not right for them.
Still there are those whom this path calls.


My mentor once told me "Many care called, yet only a few are chosen."


Truely words of wisdom. Insight and Wisdom is the main goal of our little web site, so questions or comments are greatly welcomed.

About The Coven

The coven is still being formed at this point in time.
We are currently looking for new members.
It isnt mandatory that you be in the Huntington/Barboursville area to join our coven, but it is our goal to hold weekly or monthly meetings in person. We are very modern in our approach to Wicca, but everything we teach as well as learn comes from traditional Paganism.
We also believe that everyone has their own walk of faith and their own path that they must follow, but you dont always have to walk alone.
Sometimes life can get a little tricky and you need some guidence.



The main path of this coven is the Goddess Path, but we are open to understanding other faiths. We also welcome those who wish to be observers of our faith.
As stated above, we also wont turn away anyone who wants to join a coven, but is too far away, aka: another state or the other side of the state.
If you wish to join, just send me an e-mail and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
