Our Group and Clergy

We are a community coven or group made up of several other covens and solitairy practitioners as well as spiritualists. We follow many paths and are considered to be eclectic but observe the 8 Wiccan Sabbats each year as a community coven. We offer teaching, guidance, advice and support in many areas. We embrace and celebrate diversity. The only requirement we have is that you have an open mind and are considerate to everyone in attendance.

Merry Meet friends and family....My name is Lady Amber Moon of Ruthven Sands Community Coven. My given name is Nancy Ballard. I guess I always knew there was at least a little witch in me. I was born into the Catholic religion and against all I believed in was forced to practice. Never felt comforted by the many religions I tried to fit this square peg in. On a beautiful day in May I was at a local flea market and caught the eye of a beautiful soul. It was as if our eyes locked and she drew me to her. I knew from that day that she would polish me and make me the best person I could be. She changed my life forever. I am speaking of course of Lady Rowan of Ruthven. so on that Beltane day I attended my first ritual and never looked back. I am hoping that I will be able to honor our Native American ancestors by learning their love and worship of nature and healing. Merry Part till we Merry Meet again. Blessed Be!
