Well in most aspect they are looking for people with knowledge and experience, so if you want to have a good chance at being accepted in a coven, fill out your biograph with informational stuff.
I suggest taking a stroll through the covens page, and speaking with members from different covens. This will help you to make an informed decision on which would be best for you. When writing your bio or your application, be truthful of what you desire to learn and what you already know. Most of us oldies can spot a line from a mile away ;) L.L.B ~Angie
Well I would say "Spell Casters" they allow anyone to join and you will automatically place you in council, but if you are looking for a regular coven, you should fill out your profile information. They look at that. Also read the rules in side each coven until you find one that interests you.
ShapeShiftin please also make your own thread instead of posting in this one, it helps people know that someone needs help or if it is just another post.
Many covens are willing to help anyone, just be sure to read the entire home page and follow any directions before joining! I recommend against Spell Casters, as they're usually unorganized and not as realistic to put it in a kind way.
Find a coven that connects with you, and as I said before make sure they're active.
