A group of witches is commonly called a coven. Below is a concise overview of covens and related notes.

What is a coven

• A coven is a gathering or organized group of witches who meet regularly to practice witchcraft, perform rituals, and share knowledge. The term emphasizes community and shared magical work.

Typical size and structure

• Traditional discussions often cite around thirteen members, though covens can vary widely—from as few as three members to larger groups. Modern covens are diverse in size and organization.

Origins and usage

• The term “coven” has roots in historical witchcraft discourse and was popularized in modern times by 20th-century neopagan movements, notably Wicca, where it denotes an organized circle of practitioners.

Alternative terms

• In some contexts, “covenstead” refers to the meeting place of a coven, rather than the members themselves. This term highlights the physical space where gatherings occur.
