RE:A little About the Ravens
(Date Posted:02/09/2009 11:13 AM)
Merry Meet!
My full title is Elder and High Priestess, Lady Marina Aurora Raven Duchess of the House of Ravens. I am one of the original founders of the coven that came to be on October 31st, 1999. The other founder is no longer a part of the coven, and has now moved on to form her own family based coven. Our oldest daugher Terra is adopted and one of the first children to be a part of our ways. Ariel is my own by birth and the first born into the coven. I have been a wych all my life and at the age of about 8 I do believe I had my first preminision. At that time I knew something was different about me. As I was young then to really understand I asked my mom but she is a Muslim and tried to really curb me away from that and have me walk the path of Islam. When I was old enough to do the research I began my personal journey. I couldn't actively practice while living at home though, not with my parents...lol. So I just did what I needed to do on my own and when I could. I may not be Muslim now, but I still respect the fact that my parents and most of my family is, so I will not tell them of my choices. They're elderly and this would definately put them in the grave sooner than they should be. Some of my cousins do know and all of my friends know, just the more elder members of my family do not.
Once I moved out it was easier to practice and learn, which I did. Like I mentioned the coven was formed in 1999 and has been my passion since. No matter what this is my family and I will never turn my back on it. In 2004 I got my calling and went on a yet another personal journey to find out if I was truely ready for the next step of my path. I had my doubts, I'll be honest with you, I didn't think I was ready but the Gods and Goddesses knew I was. Who am I to go against what they say...lol. I became an ordained High Priestess in July of 2004. Since then I've been working hard at making our coven welcoming to all that inquire. Together my husband and I offer counceling sessions. Either group or one on one. We also hold wiccanings and handfastings. Right now I'm working hard at getting the Raven Wyches out there in the world. I am determined to leave one heck of a legacy to the children of our coven...and to their children. Not only am I trying to promote the coven, lol, but I've been finding ways to get our group out there too. Gods and Goddesses willing, things will work out for all.
On a more personal note, I do enjoy writing; short stories and poetry, as well as cooking, photography, gardening, singing, and dancing. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, my husband...on a one on one basis too...hehe...and I love watching our babies grow and learn new things every day. I'm a stay at home mom and house wife...however I hate doing dishes and cleaning the bathroom! I really don't know what more to tell you, but if you have any further questions please feel free to leave me a message and I will answer them as soon as I can.
Merry Part and Blessed Be.

Hello!
I am likely one of the oddest members of the Raven Wyches you will ever meet ... because I am not a witch! I am humbled to have been invited to be an honourary member by the High Priestess, and am awed by the gracious acceptance of the "legitimate" blood members of the coven.
I was raised and educated as a Christian, and still hold many of those traditions and beliefs near and dear to my heart.
However ... I do not presume to know everything about the God I follow or the world He created ... thus, I remain open to many things spiritual. The path set for my life is uniquely my own and I respect all others who earnestly follow their own. I thirst for knowledge and eagerly seek those who are open minded and live their lives respectfully, honestly and are non-judgemental of others.
I am all about reality .... real people, real experiences, real encounters.
My life is an open book, so please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Many blessings,

Merry Meet everyone,
I am Kleo the Countess of the house of Ravens for nearly 3 yrs now and handfasted to my wonderful hubby Count Malak Trizan. From a very young age i knew something was different about me and although my parents tried to lead me down the Christian path i felt i didn't belong there. I am not judgemental of anyone or their choices but that one just wasn't right for me.....I realized once i had my two lovely children that i had the gift to heal, and when my familiar chose me i learned that i had a way with animals, and since i have become a Raven Wych i have learned so much more about myself and what gifts i portray. I still have much more to learn and with the help of the High Priestess i'm sure i will flourish into the white wych i know i can be. My kids however do not follow this path, my daughter has shown signs of her gifts but i will let them chose what path they feel they need to follow. Perhaps when she is older she will ask me about my faith and i can only hope that it will interest her enough to see if that is where she belongs. I hope that this little blurb has helped some of you to get to know me better, otherwise if you have anymore questions feel free to ask...I don't bite...Hard!

Merry Meet all! My name is Dame Jade Dragonmoon, First Knight of the house of Ravens and newest initiate of the Coven. I have been studying wicca for about 5 years now. I was raised a christian until I was 7 years old. My mom then asked me if thats what I believed in and wanted to continue or not. I then told her it wasnt something I believed in at all. After that she just raised me spiritual until I was old enough to choose my own religion. Then 5 years ago I began studying other religions and found wicca. I realized everything in wicca I believed already and was practising some of it already, thats how it started.
Three years ago I met the Lord and Lady Raven when I was having anxiety issues and needed guidance. The Lady Raven helped me through my troubles and then I found out she was a high priestess of a coven, that intruiged me and I began attending sabbats with the coven. A year and 1 day later I was initiated and became the First Knight of the house of Ravens.
So a little about my personallity, I am an open Bi-sexual who has just left a controlling relationship with a girl who used me as well as her family did. I am much more free now!
I am quite a shy witch when you meet me but the more I talk with you the more I open up and eventually you wont get me to shut up! I do not really like children and will never have any of my own, but I am a huge animal lover and they are my babies! I am a classic fiery aries and have a powerful dragon spirit inside. I love to laugh and smile and can have a little naughty side to me at time I am an Esthetician at a spa in surrey, bc and love to make people feel like stars and I make sure everyone leaves the spa with as big of a smile as I wear everyday!
Blessed be,
