im confused, the original poster here never said that they wanted to see a coven for pure wicca because of lack of information elsewhere. so why are people jumping down her throat for it?

A Coven to follow the idealisms and foundations of a Magick practice that started long before anyone came to America, and even before a long haired hippie was crucified on a cross I believe is a great idea. True there are a couple Covens already here that "Share" some of the same ideals, but they in no way follow the practice as a whole. The Covens here currently mix a lot of ideas and doctrines together, and for the most part are not Wicca. And those in these Covens would be Neo-Pagans, or "New Age". The Neo idea is not Wicca and most of those members do not hold the same core beliefs as one who would be called Wiccan would.
As for Pet stating no more Covens, for those who are honest and do know what they are talking about this sucks. But to safe guard the site as a whole this is good. Currently there are way too many Role-players, too many "godlike" coven leaders, and a couple covens that currently should have never been allowed. And honestly should be wiped.
The only thing I could suggest is type up a proposal and petition Pet with it. Though one of his answers could be that either Council of Earna or The Order are Wiccan, then the only problem with that is that you can not submit for acceptance, and still at an issue because there isn't one Coven on here that follows the old ways. And there are even several more that don't even follow any Magickal Path.
Personally as to all of you who have responded to him, telling him there is enough information on the web, how bout we just wipe all of SoM? There's enough BS all over the web too...somehow I don't think this will cure the problem. And on another note he asked that someone who is more knowledgeable to create the Coven, its not like he's some whacked 16 yr going around claiming that he is a master of 13yrs. And at least for once maybe a real Coven is born instead of one being allowed do to the winner of a popularity contest.
im sorry but wot do you ean by the council of earna draggy? and the other one as well, i dont understand your need to mention them:S

I do catch the thought and it's a good thought about certain covens of this site. Too much "look at me I can do anything but I can't give valid info".

The point of mentioning both Council of Earna & The Order is the fact that even if they can be labeled as "Wiccan" Covens, it wouldn't much matter for the fact that masses can not apply to those Covens. The only way in is to be asked to join.
So as we are going through what is here and not here, I would not count both of those as well as any other Coven that recruits in a similar manner. For they obviously would not help the current issue at hand.
That was all that was implied about your Coven Gad.
In Wicca it says you don't harm anyone in the council we are taught to harm

Actually in Wicca it Says An it harm none, do what thou will, except in self defense. Wiccans are taught to protect themselves, and to only fight back if put in a threatening situation. I can assure you, if I were to be attacked, I would not stand there and take, you can not over-ride the natural animalistic behaviors we all have when your life is at stake. It's called instinct, and as a wiccan you learn to accept it. At least, that is what I was taught, and that is all I can speak on. However diamo, I find your words rather offesive myself, stereotyping the way you have, so I guess all is fair.
