The
Eclectic Coven of Red Mountain is an independent Birmingham,
Alabama-based coven founded for the practice of Wicca,
the pursuit of learning, and the promotion of tolerance. We began as a circle of
solitaries, coming together to celebrate the sabbats and learn from
each other, then evolved into a coven in 1998.
We are a very eclectic group in every way ~
backgrounds, traditions, and personalities ~ who agree to abide by the
Wiccan Rede, to serve the community within and without, and to honor
Goddess and God.
We
are an eclectic working and teaching tradition utilizing a progressive
system of training. We hold meetings; we celebrate the Sabbats, and we
come together when appropriate for spellwork. In general, we create our
own rituals, recipes, and crafts. Outside of coven activities, each
member remains an autonomous individual practitioner. Within coven,
responsibilities are shared and rotated among all initiates and
decisions are made by a consensus of the council of all members in
accordance with our bylaws. When we act, we act as one.
As part of our commitment to community service and education,
we offer
a Speakers Bureau to provide informed and qualified speakers on Wicca
and related topics to civic groups, public meetings, and educational
forums, when invited. This service is provided free of charge to
nonprofit groups and classes within our geographic area. We also host
public gatherings, maintain a growing and informative website, and
provide information on Wicca to the public and news media when
requested.
Through our community education division, Eclectic Circle, we offer
programming on topics related to comparative religion, world
spirituality and mythology. All Eclectic Circle programs are free and
open to the public. Programs are selected to appeal to an eclectic
audience of diverse backgrounds and faiths and designed to inform and
entertain, to encourage open-minded discussion, and to foster a culture
of tolerance, understanding and mutual respect.
