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.
Lord Rath came to the Church after 16 years of both solitary and varying levels of coven practice. He was Dedicated to the Coven of the Albino Bat in the Winter of 2005. He received his Third Degree in the Spring of 2008, and is currently enrolled in the Clergy Training Program.
Lord Rath presently leads Open Holiday Rituals atSacred Circle Bookshopin Alexandria, Virginia. He has also led ritual for the Moonfire CUUPS group, spoken at the Fertile Ground Gathering, and at the 2010 Firefly Housewarming. He has taught public workshops on Witchcraft 101, Archetypes for Pagan Men, Fundamentals of Pagan Meditation, Experiencing the World Tree, and an Introduction to Norse Cosmology and Ritual Practices.
