Desert Wind Coven

Wicca/Witchcraft/Paganism for the Maiden to the Crone.

Next Pagan Sabbat:
Next Sabbat: Mabon: (Harvesthome)
Despite the bad publicity generated by Thomas Tryon's novel, Harvest Home is the pleasantest of holidays. Admittedly, it does involve the concept of sacrifice, but one that is symbolic only. The sacrifice is that of the spirit of vegetation, John Barleycorn. Occurring 1/4 of the year after Midsummer, Harvest Home represents mid-autumn, autumn's height. It is also the Autumnal Equinox, one of the quarter days of the year, a Lesser Sabbat and a Low Holiday in modern Witchcraft.

About the Desert Wind Coven

About the Desert Wind Coven

The Desert Wind Coven is a traditional yet evolving Wiccan circle rooted in decades of sacred practice. Founded in the High Desert of Southern Idaho in the 1980s, our coven now flourishes in Northern Utah, where we continue to honor the turning of the Wheel, the wisdom of the Earth, and the deep currents of magick that flow through all things.

Our practice draws broadly from the Wiccan traditions, including adaptations from Gardnerian rites, while embracing a more inclusive and eclectic approach that honors personal gnosis, ethical magick, and the balance of the divine feminine and masculine. As a coven, we place great value on study, self-responsibility, and reverent ritual...
