  Our MembersCrystal Ravenwolf High Priestess of the Coven of the Raven's Call  Hail and Greetings! My Name is Crystal Ravenwolf. I am an Eclectice Witch, Mother of 3 beautiful children, and a Recovering Addict who with the grace of the Goddess will have 4 years clean Sept 12th 2001! I am so grateful for that! The Old Ones have blessed me with many wonderful gifts in my journey, one of which are the wonderful people in this coven. Where does the Goddess find them! They are so warm and loving and I am blessed for having them in my life. I am the kind of person who celebrates diversity, believing in my heart of hearts that there is no "one absolute truth", only personal truths. My path leans strongly toward Shamanism where I am able to honor my Cherokee Ancestors, and yet still call myself Witch! That is very important to me.I have a teacher right now who works with me on healing with Brother Raven, whom I lovingly accept as my guide. I'm an avid activist, having lectured at West Hills College Lemoore and Fresno State University on Religious Freedom. I'm Legal Clergy able to give my community legal Handfastings and Rights of Passage, that is such a gift! I read tarot, belly-dance, drum, write poetry, love to research different Pantheons and spend time with my Ol' Man and my kids. But my favorite time is out in Nature either in the mountains or on the beach under the light of the Moon. That is where I find my personal truth as well as my freedom.Blessings Be in Her name! Jonathan and Willow Moon  Jonathan: Merry Met and Welcome! My Name is Jonathan and I have been on the Pagan path now for several years. My path has had many turns and challenges since I was a child. I was born and raised under Catholic ways, becoming very involved with the church at a young age. I even was an Alter boy, and yet I didn't feel complete. It didn't feel like my calling. I thought that perhaps I lacked faith. It wasn't I lacked faith, it was simply a different calling to my soul. In my mid to late teens, I meet my best friend, who is like a brother to me, named Clay. He introduced me to another group of friends that had alternate paths in lives. They used ouija boards and tarot cards. I was still unsure of my path at this point till I was made a believer from an experience on the ouija board, thus I don't play with them unless I am prepared. There was a skeptic in our group and he accused and claims on someone that they were behind the boards movement. In a bit of rage, he stood and demanded proof. A cargo net holding a large number of stuffed animals loomed over us in my friends room. A corner came free and the animal tumbled down on top of the skeptics head. He left shortly afterwards, never speaking of that moment again. My eyes were opened that there was in fact "other" powers that be in the universe. I looked back into myself and listened for that calling voice. As I became more accepted in the group I learned that we all have a second side. To me, it was a darker half, one that lives in my anger. I have had to learn to put him away deep inside of me, for I don't like it when he is near the surface. I could have never done a more harmful thing to myself. I created unbalance within myself and still struggle with myself about control of fears, anger, and the energies that flow through us all. It wasn't till years later, I met my wife Willow, that part of the balance started to happen. She told me she was Wicca and introduced me to her circle of friend. I had then completely shut the door of my old path, starting a new one, learning as everyday went on. Then when we moved to Lemoore, she located a group of people online in the local area. On October 21, 2000 I met Crystal, and a few other Witches. There was a calming air about them we had talked a little. Before I knew it, I was invited to take part in a Circle. I was very excited about this. When the Circle was sealed and we chanted, it brought back the feeling of when I was a youth. It took me back to a place that was all too familiar. It was like riding a bicycle. My other half had found a shred of peace and was content. I really enjoyed the energies I felt from that experience, and yearned for more. Now Crystal has her own coven and my wife Willow and I were asked to join. Now I study my new path and absorb all the info I can. I have come to understand that there are several different kinds of Witches and like the Eclectic ways of our coven. It's a much more relaxed and warm environment, kind of like the womb of your mother before you are given an eviction notice. I have also found myself when I walk with any pagan book in my hands and people automatically assume I'm in league with the Devil, I expand their knowledge and tell them that He is notr of my religion, don't push your deities off on me. I whole-heartedly embrace the path I follow now, and know I can only continue to grow from the lessons I learn. Hopefully soon, my path name will even be revealed to me. Till then I'll continue my search, and may the Goddess reveal it to me when I am ready. Many Blessings in Her Name Lee  Hello, my name is Lee. I am a mother of 2 beautiful children, and 1 cat. I first listened to the Goddesses call at age 13 when my mother was very ill. Since then I have read books and studied on my own, been a wandering soul not knowing what to do, or whom to talk to, on the surface just being what everyone else wanted me to be. Recently, I prayed dilligently to the goddess and meditated many days, and was shown the way to contact Crystal, and the Coven of the Ravens Call. Now I have a little more guidance on my path, my eyes are opened, my ears are clear to the call, and now I am open and free to learn and grown and also teach my children the ways of the goddess.  SAbotia Hey lookout I haven't been flying long!! My name is Sabotia. I'm 33 married with 4 wonderful children. I'm an eclectic Dianic Witch, see if you can figure that one out...hehe I just moved back here over a year ago from Germany. I am not a stranger to Kings County, I lived here 10 years ago, previous to my travels abroad. In a lot of ways it has changed here, for the better, and in some it's still the same (stinky dairies). I'm excited to see the pagan community has grown up around here since I've been gone. For a little more personal info, I'm 33, married and the mother of four challenging favors to life. I have been been blessed by the goddess all my life, but awakened to the mysteries nine years ago, living magickally for the past six years, working with the goddess within (Dianic) for four years. Whew!!! That about sums it up in a nutshell!! Well not really there is so much more that I could probably write a book. I've known crystal for the past year, we've become like true sisters, ~wink~ (crystal). Blessed Be!  Ceevee Just a pagan girl on a motorcycle... have a great love for mother nature and all her animals. After many years of searching have found my pathway in the spirit walk thro Wicca and American Indians. Enjoy raising my own herbs and the study of them. A Mother of 4 children, 2 stepchildren and grandmama of 5 grandchildren. Shaunna My name is Shaunna, I dont have a path name yet, but I feel that one day it will come to me. I have studied the Wiccan path for about 5-6 yrs, and recently have decided to follow the Druid path in which I still look for a teacher to help me with. In between travels I have studied with a shaman, where i learned a little on Native American works. My gifts include healing, dream walking and interpretaion, and tarot. Everyone has the power and strength to follow their dreams, and make happen whats right for them in this life and the ones to follow.
