The Covens

The Covens of Atlanta are numerous. They serve many gods and goddesses and have little in common. A typical coven consists of a limited number of members, usually thirteen. Some covens are exclusively female, while others allow male members.

The proper terminology for a female or male coven member is a witch or practitioner of the craft. Some covens refer to male members as warlocks. Who is called what is a bone of contention between various covens.

Most witches possess expert knowledge of herbology and magic rituals involving natural objects, such as minerals and plants. Witches do not engage in alchemy. They’re highly effective against shapeshifters, magic animals, and other users of “natural” magic.

Each coven operates as a separate unit. When a coven is bound together by a ritual, it becomes more powerful than the sum of the powers of its individual members. That power separates the covens from the neo-cults.
