We are the first coven of the Rainbow Warrior Tradition. We got our start in 1997 when two of our High Priests, Pan and Druimaelduin, began holding “open by invitation” Sabbats after Pan decided to leave the group with whom he had been studying. Though they didn’t realize it at the time, they were laying the foundation for what would later become the Rainbow Warrior Tradition. In 1999, Nathair and Pan did some healing work for another individual; seeing how well the two worked together, Pan and Druimaelduin began incorporating Nathair into their rituals. Shortly after this, the group expanded to include another fledgling witch who chose the magickal name Aengus. The foursome continued working together presenting Sabbats and Esbats to the local community. Based on the fruitfulness of their combined efforts, the group decided that it was finally time to formally recognize themselves as a coven. They slowly began using the name Rainbow Warriors and on June 21, 2001 performed a birthing ritual for the coven and set the intention that one day the ways of the Rainbow Warriors would be followed as a Tradition.

 I now live my calling, a witch with roots dating back to the days of my Grandma Valadez. She healed our Latino community as I watched. Chicken bones buried for warts, urine for earaches, weeds from between the sidewalk cracks of my native Houston boiled into a tonic for congestion and fever. She planted her garden by the phases of the moon; and she never did tell me what the raw eggs in water under the beds of young women were for. But it must have worked, for they kept coming back and asking for it.

This winter wet has the spring
Off to much that will bring
Food for body and mind to form
Much that needs to be reborn.

 I've actively been a witch since around the age of 10, although I was 14 before I actually used that word to describe the collection of my practices and beliefs. A Leo born in 1975, my father was in the military, which meant that we moved every three years or so. My parents were raised Catholic but were no longer practicing, having become disenchanted with the church business. They raised my brother and I without a specific religion, choosing to give us the freedom to make our own choices in life in the pursuit of happiness, while still teaching us to be good moral people.

 I, Hotep, was born on August 20, 1954 and was brought up in the lovely Town of Wellesley, Massachusetts, in a strict Italian Catholic family (which later all went "Born Again"). I was not at all hostile to my religious up bringing, as a matter of fact it was quite the opposite, I loved the Priests and Nuns of St. Johns and St. Pauls Churches. However, I just never “bought into” the teachings of the Catholic Church, and as a youth in "catechism" thought the stories and classes quite silly. It all just seemed very unrealistic and did not ring honest to me. From my teens on I “floated” spiritually, and felt more than a little lost...I didn’t know what I believed.
