| We are a Small coven located in the Bolingbrook/Naperville/Joliet Illinois Area. We are currently accepting new students and contacts with others of like minds. Please drop us a line and say hi! Oakmoon Covenstead PO Box 1575 Bolingbrook IL 60440 630-699-5937 Oakmooncoven@comcast.net |
For fun we like to go on field trips, attend festivals, camp, and plant.
We are primarily Wiccan in nature, but we encompass a variety of eclectic beliefs.
We gather at full moons for rituals, while new moons are reserved for training students.
Spontaneous gatherings for emergencies may happen from time to time.
As tradition states, you should not have to pay for training in the Craft. However; students
are still responsible for the purchase of their own tools and the cost it takes to print
copies of your lessons. We ask that you pay up front for your lessons. This can be in one
lump sum or spread out in three month intervals.
Lessons 1: $20
3-13 $15
Costs are nonrefundable.
Payment is expected before the lessons are given to you because people by nature are
forgetful creatures and while the coven is full of spiritual value, in monetary value it is not.
;)
Those who are not interested in training, but are interested in joining and working with
our little group (And have had previous training elsewhere) do not have a set fee. We
would appreciate any donations of money/supplies/ or services when it is feasible for you
to do so.
