 About Us

Moondancer and Raven, circa 1995 at the handfasting of Rowan and MacTire  Nemed Cuculatii is led by Moondancer and Raven, both of whom are Elders within the New England Covens of Traditionalist Witches. They have been married since 1981 (handfasted since 1984), and are the parents of three 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. Together they have over 35 and over 25 years experience, respectively, as coven leaders.

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, as we modified 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 here and here regarding training and basic information about the NECTW.

Some of our members have elected to have a personal page hosted on this site. See the links in the "Our Coven" section to view these pages.

 

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.
