NUMBER ONE.

You are going to be told the rituals and symbols of one body or clanof White Witches; this is known as the Coven of Atho. We must firsttell you that ATHO is the name of the Horned God of Witchcraft.This large, carved wooden figure is the Key to all the old Dianic Laws

(at least all the Laws that this coven is conversant with.)

For hundreds of years the figure-head and all its secrets has beenhidden and only shown to the inner members of our Circle. Thereason for this was because our leaders or Elders feared that theterrible Witchcraft 'trials' of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries

might happen again.

This Head of Atho was removed from its hiding place by a Sister ofAtho and carried all round the country in her little Romany caravan.Her name was Alicia Franch; I was her pupil in Magick and she

taught me all the things I am going to teach you.

On the Forehead of the Head of Atho there are Five Circles. Startingwith the outer circle and working in to the centre one they are :- (I)The Circle of Fertility. (2) Brotherhood. (3) Vitality. (4) Travel, and

(5) Return. I have sent you our Symbols this month for you to learn.Next month, on the night of the full Moon and after our circle hasbeen cast, I shall send you the first of the Five Circles and what it

means.

You will receive the second Circle a month after and so on until youknow their purpose. This sixth month will be a summing up of the


3/6

Circles and the secret of the Eight Paths of Magick, and on theseventh month you will be sent an answer to any of yourpersonal problems. If you are not clear on any point please donot write until you have received your Key to the Eight Paths ofMagick.

Now I must thank you for your enquiry into our greatBrotherhood and tell you that when we cast our circle on thenight of the next full Moon every one of you will be rememberedand the blessing of Diana, the Goddess of Nature will be askedfor you.

Have patience. Nothing worth-while can be done in a hurry. Youmust have time to reflect on what you are being taught.


4/6

The Sign of the Coven of Atho.It is the trident of The Water city. (The first of our Covens to be founded.)

The Pentagram.

This is the Five Points of Man. (Stand with your arms held out and your legs apart;

you will be making a pentagram.)

The Five Circles.

The inner two are joined by a cross. This is because they are The Circle of Travel

(Clairvoyance) and the Circle of Return (Returning in Spirit after Death.) In other

words the two circles are joined because a living person is speaking for a Spirit.
