About Dogwood Local Council

Covenant of the Goddess

The Covenant of the Goddess is one of the largest and oldest Witch and Wiccan associations and was incorporated as a nonprofit religious organization in 1975. The Covenant is an umbrella group of cooperating, autonomous Witchcraft congregations and individual practitioners with the power to confer credentials on its qualified clergy. It fosters cooperation and mutual support among Witches and Wiccans and secures for them the legal protections enjoyed by members of other religions. For more information about the Covenant of the Goddess visit www.cog.org.

Dogwood Local Council

A Local Council is a smaller branch of the Covenant, consisting of at least three member covens of at least two different traditions, in reasonably close geographic proximity to each other. Dogwood Local Council serves Witches and Wiccans in Georgia and Alabama.

Among our activities, we sponsor local festivals and workshops, and generally work together for common goals close to home.

Joining the Covenant

Covens and solitary Witches and Wiccans in Georgia and Alabama apply to the Covenant of the Goddess through Dogwood Local Council.
