The Coven of the Black Vulture officially hatched, after a period of roughly two years, on August 8, 2009 at our annual retreat. It is led by Lord Rath, and is based out of Alexandria, Virginia. The coven’s work is somewhat influenced by Rath’s experiences with the martial arts, and ceremonial magick. The coven is accepting new members, provided certain qualifications are met.
