AndredsWeald is a Wiccan coven in the .K.A.M. Traditional line. .K.A.M was formed in the 1970s when Elders of several Wiccan Traditions combined the essential elements of their teachings, Initiations and rituals to form a united group of covens.  Traditions included Alexandrian, Gardnerian, Celtic (NECTW flavor), Elefsinian, and later, Feri.

The AndredsWeald covenstead is located in Bethesda, MD near the Potomac River.  Our coven focuses on seasonal celebrations, personal growth, and the long term flourishing of Traditional Wicca through intensive teaching and Initiation.  We lean heavily towards small group study and tend to attract introverts, although we welcome extroverts as they act as catalyst to stir up energy and keep us lively.

New Class Forming

We are now considering applications from potential students who want to start classes in the Fall of 2024.  Study in our classes for the traditional year-and-a-day is a prerequisite for Initiation into the First Degree of Wicca, but Initiation is not guaranteed.  .K.A.M. does not charge for classes or Initiation.

We're delighted to announce the Elevations of Eusebia to the Second Degree of Wicca in February of 2024

Deaths

We're sad to announce the death of Lady Aradia of Andredsweald in 2023 and Lady Ayramaia in 2024.  Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again

Our history here

We have finally completed scanning and linking copies of .K.A.M., A Journal of Traditional Wicca.  Have a look here if it's been awhile for you.

And a Blazing Blue Pentagram to Eusebia for the hard work scanning and uploading!
