We are not Devil worshippers, Satanist or practitioners of the Black Arts.
We are not a coven
.We do not perform rituals at our meetings or cast spells.

We are, basically a teaching and learning groups. It is not our intent to form covens or cast circles. Our main goal is to expand our minds and to share our experiences and beliefs.
