The Motto of the Phoenix Rising Coven & Sanctuary
Out of the ashes that are life's symbols of change...The Phoenix arises anew...
Our Beginning
The Phoenix Rising Coven was created with three core concepts in mind.
The first concept is offering classes and open gatherings; this was due to the need where people could receive knowledge through physical interaction with others on their chosen paths in the tri-city area. The second concept was to have a safe environment to study and place where persons could perform ritual workings by celebrating both Sabbats and the Esbats. And the third concept was to have the ability to have all members give back in the community, in a positive and caring way.
Thus, the Phoenix Rising Coven & Sanctuary, taking upon itself these daunting tasks, has assisted in creating these concepts for the general public. And, to this day, we continuously offer both physical and on-line classes, open gatherings and assistance to many charitable causes within our communities.
Coven
Our goal is to assist persons in learning more about Paganism; with eclectic Wicca in general. We also strive to remove the stigma associated to alternative religious and spiritual practices and beliefs; to facilitate the practice of the Wiccan practice in the form and manner considered most suitable by the members of this Coven while following the creed of 'An it Harm None - do as they Will.'
Sanctuary
Our belief is that the term 'sanctuary'refers as a place to bring together those of like minds and provide a safe and supportive environment for all free religious expressions by Wiccans and other neo-pagans as stated in accordance the the term. We also strive within the sanctuary to identify, develop and train caring and competent clergy and ritual leaders to better assist in serving the community by means of the Phoenix Rising Coven & Sanctuary initiatory system.

The Coven's Structure
The Phoenix Rising Coven has three (3) tiers currently in our structure system to which has been in place and utilized since our inception. These tiers were put into place as it is our belief that a Coven is a spiritual family and any person(s) whom come into the sanctity shall be known well as a person and energy based.
Tier 1 - Inner Coven members and Coven Council
Tier 2 - Coven Students and Levels 1 and 2 Initiates
Initiates are deemed as
- Seekers
- Beginners
- Level 1 Initiate
- Level 2 Initiate
Tier 3 - General Public, Students whom wish to expand their knowledge, friends of the Coven
Our initiation process begins with persons, called Seekers, in Tier 3 and following a course curriculum based on eclectic Wicca as taught by Coven members and Initiates. Should the Seeker then wish to go further with their studies, and show both an interest and understanding of the prior courses, they will then be given the opportunity to become Beginners; to which additional courses, hands-on training and participating in gatherings will be a part of the curriculum.
Once a Beginner has advanced to the Level 1 Initiate they will then be a part of Tier 2 and will be given an invitation for initiation into the Coven at that time.
Tier 1 is reserved for Level 3 Initiates, Inner Coven Members and the Coven Council at this time.
