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.

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!
