Why are we Coven of the Vulture?
Most people view the vulture with fear or contempt, a ghastly scavenger feeding of the dead or things cast aside by others; a reminder of one’s own mortality slowly drawing near.

Everything the vulture represented resonated with Lady Kiana and Lord Azuran. In addition to the affinity shared with Vulture, the two had one more requirement in establishing their coven.

One common concept among these groups was their embellished, silly-sounding names; like Coven of the Sacred Elemental Dragons or Grove of the Moonlight Stardust Unicorns. While it is understood that people are different and some wish to stand out from the rest of the Pagan community, Lord Azuran and Lady Kiana believed that choosing a magical fantasy creature to represent their chosen spiritual path could be detrimental to the coven’s perception in the eyes of others and it’s well-being.

It is because of this that both Lord Azuran and Lady Kiana agreed to not fall into the same trap as many of the groups they encountered prior to and after joining Willow Hill
