The
Inner Court
Our Inner Court
is the real technical "coven". We have just completed the process of crafting
a new Tradition, blending Celtic Spirituality with a modern twist, and
adding in a secondary system of "rites of passage" based on the human life
cycle and the aspects of the Gods. (the Isles Tradition)
We operate with a six tier system
(dedicant, initiate, first, second, and third degrees, and elder) of grades
and initiations. These are not for ego boosting ("ha-ha, I'm a third degree
and you're not") but rather they are for confidence. As a great part of
Magick relies on confidence in your ability, think of these grades more
as merit badges. Also, as there are very long lists of requirements for
attaining the degrees, a bit of pride in knowing "Gods, i finally did it!"
is well deserved.
We're a bit strict when it
comes to our Inner Court members...the Outer Court members drift in and
out as they please, but the Inner Court members MUST be in attendance for
most rituals (of course we do allow absence for certain circumstances...
the mandate of attendance is really only for cohesion and more practice
of melding energies.)
Our Inner Court can be joined,
but in order to join the Inner Court you must be a member of our local
Outer Court for at least six months. That gives us all a chance to get
to know each other, and lets you know if this is the right group for you.
If you are interested injoining
the Inner Court, or would like to learn more about the Isles Tradition,
