History of Oak Forest Coven


Oak Forest Coven was established on the Sabbat of Imbolc in the year of 2002, when Vertius (Adam Gray) hived off from his Mother Coven, the Coven of the Mystical Cauldron after obtaining his Third Degree Initiation in Traditional British Witchcraft. Oak Forest Coven took its name from Oak Forest, Illinois, the location where Elizabeth Pomponios moved when she resigned from the Coven of the Mystical Cauldron.

Since the establishment of Oak Forest Coven there have been many changes in regards to the location of the Coven. When the Coven was first established it was located in Carnesville, Georgia and operated in this area of Georgia from Imbolc of 2002 until Beltane of 2004. Since then, Oak Forest Coven has relocated twice to new areas of Georgia, Royston (Sandy Cross), Georgia and to Canon, Georgia; all which are located in Franklin County. On Beltane, in the year 2004, Oak Forest Coven remained at Royston, Georgia until the Vernal (Spring) Equinox of 2007, when eventually it was relocated to Canon, Georgia and were it currently resides and is located.

Although, Oak Forest Coven has relocated twice since its establishment, the Coven has remained true to the teaching and practices of Traditional British Witchcraft and values these teachings and practices that have been passed down from previous generations. Oak Forest Coven strives to keep the Olde Ways alive by actively operating and practicing these ancient teachings and by holding true to the Tradition in which it was established.
