Coven of the White Witches
The White Coven
“Peace within. Light without.”
Overview
The White Coven, formally known as the Sisterhood of White Magic, is a respected and legally recognized guild of witches dedicated to healing, spiritual guidance, and non-violent arcane support. Known for their compassion and grace, the White Witches blend ancient herbalism and life magic with a modern, new age flair—offering everything from charm crafting and aura cleansing to emotional guidance and dream work.
They are the only coven recognized as a legitimate guild, enjoying protected status within most cities of the Commonwealth and beyond.
Core Philosophy
- Healing is sacred.
- Magic should comfort, restore, and enlighten.
- Balance of mind, body, and spirit is the root of all power.
- No violence unless all peace is broken.
Magical Focus
- Primary Schools: Life Magic, Astral Magic
- Common Practices:
- Herbal alchemy and potioncraft

Modern Flair – New Age Influence
- Many White Witches embrace urban spiritualism, running quaint shops in cities that sell:
- Crystals attuned to emotional harmony
- Herbal sachets and moonwater tinctures
- Candles, incense, and dream journals
- Aura-cleansing services and tea readings
- Their boutiques often feature a public storefront and a private backroom where potions are brewed, rituals are conducted, and initiates are trained.
- Witches use words like “alignment,” “energy flow,” and “astral harmony,” blending ancient power with accessible charm.
Familiars and Fae Compacts
- Most White Witches bond with peaceful, empathetic creatures:
- Doves, white cats, deer, lambs, or rabbits
- Some enter sacred pacts with Fairies, forming magical partnerships with benevolent Fey spirits:
- Fairies often act as guides, dream-messengers, or emotion readers
- These pacts are rare, honored, and treated with reverence
