Joining a coven

A coven is a group of witches who practice magick together, often on a set schedule. There are tons of covens all throughout the world, some more well known than others. A lot of witches are solitary, working on their magick alone. From personal experience, I have to say that when doing magick, if you are with another person then your magick is stronger, and of course you will experience this in a coven.
A lot of covens are well known throughout the pagan community and often accept new members. Usually, these covens are quite large, having many members. Often times these members live all throughout the country or even the world and only gather during important events, like for the sabbats. Many other covens are smaller and only consist of a few members, usually the lowest number being three.
If you are interested in joining a coven, look around your town, you just might meet some people who know something. Often, covens have websites so try googling covens in whatever town or city you live in. Sometimes you might really have to look around. If you have a local new age or occult shop then try asking the employee if they know of any local covens.
If you can't find and pre-existing covens, maybe you should create your own little coven. If you know a few people who practice magick like you, see if they would be interested in joining a coven with you. You could practice your magick together and offer support. You could all oversee important rituals and such. Luckily, witchcraft is a very flexible practice and your path is one for you to decide.
