Spring is Coming!

Ostara is nearing; that time of year for freshness and change.   New beginnings are fully embraced now, especially through love and creativity.  May you enjoy an early spring, wherever you are.

Happy Yule & Blessed Solstice

Please remember that our coven is open to new members at the quarters.  This means membership will be open from February 1 through February 28.  To be considered for membership, please see our Membership page.

If you have tried to contact us regarding open rituals or membership, and have not heard from us, it is because your email bounced back to us.  Please contact us again using a different email address.  Open rituals are not held during the winter months, and generally resume at Ostara.

Meet the Coven, part 3

I am Chantel Cloak, Maiden, (more like mother, huh, Wendy?), age 30, married to my childhood sweetie of the last 18+ years, Edward Cloak.

I have 4 children (a.k.a. zoo animals): Shawna 14, Garry 12, Rebekah 12, and Destiny 6 months.  I live in Wyoming, DE and been here my whole life, and most likely will never leave!!

I love to read books about vampires, ghosts, sex, blood, and mayhem.  I also enjoy watching TV and movies (too much!) and painting. 

I have a degree in Human Services and I am currently working on my Bachelors in Behavioral Science at Wilmington University.  After that I plan on getting my Masters in Library Science. I work at DTCC Library and been there for over 6 years.

People say that I am abrasive and blunt.  I say “NO Crap, ya think!”

I love hard and protect the people I love even harder. Family is the most important aspect of my life and I think ofthe Phoenix Song Cyrcle coven as family. I have been a member for the past 4+ years, and I have learned so much from this experience and these people.

Meet the Coven, part 2

Merry Meet!

I go by the name of Lady Morgan Si.  I have been studying Witchcraft for as long as I can remember.   However like most people I did not come to Wicca first; I was raised as a Christian.   Though deep down it never made any sense to me, I still went along with it…  So much so that I taught other children how to be a good little Christians… LOL

I am now the High Priestess of Phoenix Song Cyrcle. I am as open of mind and free-spirited as the rest of the coven sisters and brothers are.  I am sure if you have stumbled onto our website, that our bios did not shock you (and hopefully they did not bore you).

If you are interested in checking out our coven in central Delaware, please join us for one of our open rituals!

Blessed Be!  May the Goddess light the darkness that lives deep within you or your spirit.

Meet the Coven

My name is Wendy and I am one of the founders of Phoenix Song Cyrcle.  Most of the time I can be found Athena Academy, where I chronicle the (mis)adventures of Pagan homeschooling my son, and living on an overseas military base.

I am from Massachusetts and resided in Dover, Delaware for 10 years before our move to South Korea in July of 2009.  During the decade in Dover, I met some wonderful people who wanted to establish a coven in the area.  They asked me to put my knowledge of Wicca and Paganism to use, to establish a coven, and create an educational structure.

During the process, Phoenix Song Cyrcle was born.  The ideals of the coven were acceptance and love, harmony and balance.  We wanted to intentionally maintain and eclectic flair, while still delving deeply into the mysteries of the world, the universe, and deity through discussion, education and ritual.

 I was High Priestess of the coven during this time, and relinquished the role to the Maiden (with tears of both joy and sadness) earlier this summer.  Although I am currently living overseas, I remain the Education Coordinator and am the first “retired” coven officer; now an Elder of Phoenix Song Cyrcle, I still advise and mentor the High Priestess, and the coven itself.

By way of a short bio, I have been on the Path for 25 years.  I will reside in South Korea with my husband and son (who is 6 1/2 as of this posting) until November of 2010, at which time we hope to be stationed in Europe.  My personal Craft interests are the Dianic and Erisian traditions, working with the deities of the Hindu, Sumerian, and Greek pantheons, and currently I find myself increasingly drawn to the Arthurian and Avalonian paths. 

I am a writer and genealogist.  Most of my work has appeared in Pagan publications including Circle Magazine, newWitch, and PagaNet News.  I currently volunteer as an editor and proofreader (and writer on-demand) for The Beltane Papers.   My next project is hush-hush, but well underway.

And, as I said above, I homeschool my son.  We have a fairly eclectic style, utilizing “The Well-Trained Mind” and Charlotte Mason method as our guides.  I tend to identify with secular homeschoolers, and am always thrilled to find other Pagan homeschoolers.

Many Blessings.
