Dedicants and Initiates
Updated May, 2009

AsetAmitAb
(a.k.a. Maria Carmina)
has been a solitary Priestess of Isis for the past five years. On Samhain, 2006 she was initiated into the Wytches' Hill Coven. Her interests include tarot, hieroglyphics, and herbalism. She is also a fifth grade teacher, and "mommy" to 3 spoiled cats!

Bacchianelo
is an ordained spiritualist minister. He also is a Santerian santero and palero. He is an accomplished musician and works in the Italian musical theater. He also provides consultations, and is funny as Hell. Also, being of Sicilian and Gypsy ancestry, he practices Strega, the old religion.

Diana Nightstar
has been interested in Wicca and Witchcraft since she was a little girl. She dedicated herself twice, first as a teen and "officially" about 2 years ago. Then she was introduced to the coven by Lillith and Grey Scrybe (who happens to be her Uncle) and was dedicated on Beltane, 2007. She is a Registered Nurse and EMT, and presently works as a medical biller and office manager. Her tradition is Eclectic, with special interest in Celtic, Streghan and Hawaiian Spirituality.

Dumuzzi,
an Art teacher, is married to Riannon-Lia. His tradition is eclectic with inclinations towards Celtic and Streghan. His ancestry is English, Irish, French and German. His hobbies include gardening, making movies for YouTube, and webmastering. His favorite radio stations are WNYC, WFUV and WFMU, his favorite television program is currently The Tudors, and he prefers his coffee light without sugar.

GreyScrybe,
an English teacher, is Lillith's significant other. Although he admittedly enjoyed attending circles and was a friend to everybody, he wouldn't go so far as to call himself a Pagan. Nonetheless, having been an active participant in the coven for several years, he was recently grandfathered in as an initiate.Have

Lillith
is a former Registered Nurse. She's
been with her Significant Other, Grey Scrybe, for over 31 years. She loves all animals, especially Dachshunds. She likes reading, gardening, traveling, and latch-hooking. She was dedicated as Melissa Robyn into the Wytches' Hill Coven on Beltane, 2006 and initiated a year later, in 2007. In 2009 she was elevated to High Priestess and took on the new name of Lillith. For the present, she follows a tradition of Eclectic Witchcraft.

Riannon-Lia
is a traditional Stregan Witch. She has practiced on her own for 25 years. She also teaches English to immigrants. In May 2005 she graduated from the New Seminary and is now ordained as an Interfaith Minister. She is married to Dumuzzi. Her ancestry is Sicilian, French and Gypsy. She is the coven's best Italian chef - although Bacchianelo begs to differ!

Sophie
is our Coven's newest initiate! She was initiated at Yule in 2008. (A more detailed bio is forthcoming).

Sue
has been practicing as a Solitary on and off for about 8 years. Sue's practice became more consistent and she became more involved in Wicca/Paganism when she moved from Philadelphia to North Jersey a few years ago. Some of Sue's interests include Celtic and Native American traditions and kitchen witchery. Sue works as an occupational therapist with adults with developmental disabilities, and is very glad to be involved with Wytches' Hill Coven. In 2007 she entered the New Seminary in NYC as a 1st year student with Riannon-Lia proudly serving as her mentor. Peace to all!
