Any properly functioning coven should have the feeling of an extended family. In many ways, the best of them become intended families.

Too bad there are so few of either, given that dysfunction, egoism, power-grubbing, manipulation, anarchy, childishness and selfishness are the rule all too often. I guess that 'perfect' human beings are in short supply.

I have had only two group experiences, neither of which were all that wholesome. Both largely because of the self-centeredness of the HPSs, and some bad interactions among the other members.

But being as isolated and alone as I have always been, I still find a need within myself for some kind of community in which I can belong, and feel both comfortable and welcome in. So far, there's no such animal, although I once had hopes among the cast and crew of the one (now defunct) Renaissance Faire I performed in for six years. This desire has also been a large part of my "insane writing project" which began around 1973.
