I'm busy constructing a project from my own grimoire, a project that's largely been influenced by my decision to initiate a friend of mine. I was originally writing a book on Witchcraft, but I realised that the market is already full of such things and I tend to find the interactivity of a group a far more fulfilling experience. For that reason, I consider a coven a better approach to sharing and developing my work but I have to also accept that my current geographical disposition doesn't lend itself well to traditional coven procedures.
This isn't to mention that my standards for a coven are high, and very few groups meet that standard.
So... I come to the notion of a virtual coven. I know such things already exist, but I've tended to find that they're little more than public message boards, with a couple of private forums, and the material is... Well, not worth the effort. Because I feel this would be a good way to provide the proper training to the friend I'm going to initiate, branching out a little further could well be a solid approach assuming it can be done properly and helpfully.
So with all that said, I'm genuinely curious to find out if anyone has been involved in a virtual coven, what they liked about it, what they disliked, and how they feel the experience works in general. I'm also extremely interested in what people think a virtual coven should look like, or what it should consist of in order to be of any use.
Answers on a postcard.
