The Elders


Geoff

Craft Background: 3rd Degree Alexandrian Witch and High Priest of the Coven of the Sacred Wellhead. Joined the Craft in 1984 and was High Priest to the Coven of the Silver Star (Cheltenham, UK) - tracing lineage to Alex and Maxine through Rob and Jan of the "Silver" line in Dursley (UK). Finally decided to pass on the reigns of leadership in order to pursue solo study and Qabalistic training (attaining the Grade of Aptus Major of the Golden Dawn in 1986).
Moved to Reading in 1988 where he met David. Established the Coven Silver Rose in 1989 - disbanding it in 1995 after the current Initiates had attained sufficient experience to work alone so that David and he could experiment more freely with working a Wiccan/Qabalistic mix.
Re-formed as the Coven of the Sacred Wellhead in 1999, grounding the Coven in both Alexandrian Wicca and the Qabalah ("On twilight paths that no man knows..."!).

Craft and Magickal interests: both High and practical Magicks; combining aspects of the Qabalah with Wicca; Tarot and Divination particularly "throwing the bones": a Zulu tradition picked up whilst growing up in South Africa; Shamanism and Ancestor rituals; Sacred Sites and Woodland Groves; Myth and Mythology. But most of all: enjoying a solid, powerful Ritual with like minded Initiates!

Personal Patron Deities: Persphone, The Dark Goddesses, Isis and Osiris.

Favourite ritual: (can I say "The Bornless ritual"? No? Ok then): The Persephone Ritual.

Favourite Sabbats: (all of them..?) particularly the darker half of the wheel: Lughnasadh, Autumn Equinox, Samhain and Yule.

Personal: a December Capricorn, Born in Alexander Bay, South Africa in 1961 of English parents; now retired, and dedicating time to crafting pursuits and witchcraft; vegetarian; Dyslexic; a great lover of body modification and tattoos...
