the history of LCoP

• written in response to a message from someone in Blue Star trying to sort out the history

Our coven is Little Circle on the Plain (LCoP).  We have recently begun to refer to our practice as Blue Triskele Wicca, which honors our relation to Blue Star Wicca, but also reflects our most

My Craft name is Hermes.I was brought into Bluestar in Norristown on Samhain of '77. I was initiated in Bluestar Sept '78 with my then wife Bridget in Bluestar in the fall equinox in brooklyn at the Covenstead. HPS/Hp were franque the wizard and Tziporah. Myself and Bridget and Caspian and Branwen practiced in Phila and drexel hill and we all separated fro Bluestar on the equinox mar '79 where we met with Franque in his store in NYC at 33rd nd 3rd with the permission of Pam the elder. We travelled back to Pa to my Wynnefield Phila home and had a circle and also had the permission of Pam the elder to break away. Caspian and Branwen then broke away to form their own group and initiated a new member who had been working with us all (Julia). Branwen an Caspian moved west for work. Myself and Bridget pracrticed with Julia and others and renamed our coven Maidenhill.At one point we had over 17 members and included the owner of a craft shop from south Phila. We lived in Manayunk until '85 then a year in Michigan and back to Phila. In 1980 myself and Deirdre were made 3rd degrees in the covenstead in Sale,England in the Coven of Rhiannon and Merlin. I passed the 3rd degree to Branwen who passed it to Caspian. In '95 I seperated from Bridget and continued with Maidenhill working with my group in NJ with macha as HPS, and also in Pa. I later split with Macha who established Bridgets Well ; then picked a new HPS BridRavenhawk in '98. In 95 I also became part of a Gardnerian group(Wyndwyrth Coven) and got my 3 degrees in gardnerian craft culminating in '97 (coven Wyndwyrth). I served in the Army medical dept regiment (AMEDD) in the Afghan war in '05 treating casualties and am in the order of the pentacle.
Bridravenhawk and i moved to Florida in '01 till last year '11. We are now in South Carolina. We have ,aintained our work as maidenhill though few in number. I can be reached at email Myrddin53@gmail.com for comment .
