Nemed Cuculatii is led by Raven and Moondancer, both of whom are Elders within the New England Covens of Traditionalist Witches. Married since 1981 (handfasted since 1984), they are parents of three adult daughters, all of whom have followed them into the Craft, returning a sense of “family tradition” to what was, in origin, an ancestral Tradition of Witchcraft.
While the Coven was originally established in California’s Central Valley in 1981 under the name “StarMist Cuveen”, we relocated to Washington state in 1987 and, in 1989, formally changed the name of the coven to Nemed Cuculatii, reflecting changes in our coven practice from a generalised Celtic semi-eclectic practice to exclusively that of the NECTW, as we re-connected with our parent Tradition.
We remain family-focused, and are family-oriented and small-group based. While we do accept new students, it is only after an extensive period of “getting to know one another”, interviews, and interactions with the larger community. If you are interested in working with us, you must be located in the Puget Sound region of Washington State, and be willing to travel to the Snoqualmie Valley for meetings and rituals. See the additional information on Study and Training with us and basic information about the NECTW.
Some of our members have elected to have a personal page hosted on this site. You will find those linked in the menu area.
We are often asked the significance of our name, and the robed figures shown prominently on our web pages. Our name refers to several images from Celtic Europe, collectively known as the genii cucullatus. Follow this link for additional information on this iconography; as to the derivation of our name, we refer you to The Clannada na Gadelica article posted here [link goes to the Internet Wayback machine, as the Clannada na Gadelica website is now offline.]
