Programs of Hekatean Witchcraft

There are three levels of study offered. Hekate's Keys is the foundational program for those seeking to develop their practice of Modern Hekatean Witchcraft, while The Mystai consists of two levels of intermediate and advanced training. All are taught as a series of four seasonal courses. Hekate's Keys is suitable for newcomers to The Craft as well as experienced practitioners. You can join this program with each season, while The Mystai intake occurs around Beltane each year.

Each season includes a transcendent High Ritual, witchcrafting circles, moon salons, and much more.

Our annual cycle begins with the New Moon closest to Beltane, and concludes with our annual graduation ceremony. 

Students can join at specific points, and courses are capped to ensure a high quality experience, so if a subscription option doesn't show up, email [email protected] to be added to the wait list for the next available course.

Hekate's Keys: The Foundational Program of Modern Hekatean Witchcraft

Hekate's Keys is the foundational program of The Covina Tradition, offered as four seasonal courses, known as The Gates of Hekate. Each course features a mystical High Ritual, witchcrafting project, live moon salons, recorded classes, and written lessons, along with a community chat.

The Mystai: Advanced Training in Modern Hekatean Witchcraft

The Mystai I: The Outer Temple is the intermediate training program in Modern Hekatean Witchcraft. Also taught as four seasonal courses, known as The Temples of Hekate. The circle within the circle of Hekate's Keys, The Mystai expands upon the foundational teachings through live seminars, practica, projects, and opportunities for spiritual leadership development. Also features a course chat. This is a self-selecting course, suitable for students who've completed at least one of the gates in The Hekate's Keys Program. 

The Mystai II: The Inner Temple is reserved for graduates of Mystai I, and is by invitation only.

About Covina

Covina comes from a Latin word meaning "to come together for a shared purpose". Of course, it also means "coven." Within the gates of the institute, you'll find the keys of psychology, spirituality and the deeper world merging at the crossroads of learning, transcendence, and community. We explore archetypes, astrology, dreams, mysticism, plant medicine, weaving them with psychological constructs as practitioners of Modern Hekatean Witchcraft. Based around a sacred daily practice of connection and meditation, Covina is a coven like no other.

Covina is a private coven, governed by a Code of Conduct that all students must agree to follow upon joining.
