Initiation in the Assembly is only given through the covens to their members. Membership does not automatically lead to initiation, it is a lengthy process.
Viewed 3928 Times - 3. How do I join?15.03.16More
Membership is granted by the individual covens and involves a getting to know you period of at least 6 months. Contact the covens for their particular guidelines. If you are geographically distant from a coven, it is unlikely that you will be able to participate in a way that leads to membership.

No, seek out teachers, workshops, organized groups, and books. You may do yourself a great disservice by jumping into something without enough information and guidance.
Viewed 3554 Times - 8. I'm under 18, can I join or come to your events?15.03.16More
To join an ASW coven you must be at least 18. Parental permission, and ideally their presence, is required for participation in many of the workshops or events. If you do have parental permission, then any time you spend attending workshops and rituals will count against the 6 months (see above).

The answer is mostly no though there are occasional events where children are welcome. For our detailed policy follow this link: ASW Policy on Youth Participation
Viewed 3333 Times - 10. Can I come to your open events if I am a beginner or a member of another faith?15.03.16More
Yes, our open events truly are open to all that bring good will and an open mind.
Viewed 3242 Times - 11. Can I be a member of the Assembly and be involved in other faiths or traditions?15.03.16More
Yes, many of our members are involved with or are initiates of other paths. We do require that those that are granted the status of clergy (3rd Degree Initiates and beyond) focus on the Assembly's path. This is not about right or wrong or exclusion, it is about commitment and the reality that there are only so many hours in a day.
