How to choose a coven name
- Start with what your group actually does: moon rituals, herbalism, tarot, or wine and gossip.
- Use a structure: The + noun + Coven, Circle of + symbol, or Sisters of + place.
- Borrow from your location, such as a local river, hill or street, for a name that feels rooted.
- Keep it sayable. You’ll say it out loud, print it on candles and put it on your group chat.
- Pick a symbol to go with it (a moth, a crescent, a key) for art, merch or altar decor.
