Witch Officers

‘Witch Officers’, the highest level witch of the coven is usually, but not always, chosen to be the leader of the coven.

The leader of the coven is called the High Priestess (or High Priest) regardless of her actual level. It is her responsibility to guide the worship proceedings and to instruct the new initiates. The High Priestess does not have to work alone. There are other offices that a witch may hold within the coven. These offices have no game benefits, but can add flavor to role-playing the witch. Some examples of officers and their roles are:

Coven Council – elders or leaders of the coven. Usually the council consists of three members. They sometimes represent the Maiden, Mother and Crone aspects of the Goddess. Other officers are, Scribe – secretary (air), Pursewarden – treasurer (earth), minstrel – lore keeper (water), Watcher – security officer (fire), Guide – youth advisor, Archivist – librarian. Others maybe determined as needed, and in small covens one witch may perform many duties. These offices maybe voted on, or volunteered for. Typically the term lasts one year and is chosen at the next holy season. Officers may wear a special color cord or some other badge of office that distinguishes them from other members.
