Tradition – New moon rituals
Since no magic can be performed at the new moon, those who fear for their lives gather days before the new moon to create and protective barriers over the chosen covenhouse. This is not something you have to be a part of. For these meetings, one will often talk about what has happened since the last time they met. Since there are many members there will be one dedicated to note, that this can be hung up in the various coven houses.

The Dedication Ritual
An oath is spoken at sunset. Afterwards there will be a celebrated until sunrise. In the early years, the new member had to be bathed in blood after taking the oath.

Moral
Creating unity between witches; a safe place. A network for learning, deepening and unfolding. The Coven of the Ancient dislikes dark magic, but embraces other 'classes' of magic.

Story
In the early days, when Killian was about 1200 years old, Killian chose to create a place of safety for his fellow witches. At this point of time, the number of witches were growing and some felt threatened. Killian chose to take them under his wings and create a safe place for them to be. Among other things, this was an opportunity for him, as he could create illusions that could hide the witches.
Through the years the coven built more and more covenhouses to the witches to take cover in.
