Everyone hit the nail on the head.
My coven is one of the ones not currently accepting applications. Our personal reasoning for it was that we had several new members, and we wanted to give those new members a chance to become close to the old members in order to maintain a familial atmosphere in the coven. It gets hard to do that when there are too many members to manage, and not enough "bonding time".
Some covens just like dealing with smaller numbers, so they have cut off amounts and keep a limited number of members. And some covens are complete opposites of that, having massive amounts of members. Each coven runs differently, partially in due to the Priest/ess and the members.
