There is a reason 13 is the cut of and covens don't mess with people under the age of 18. Many covens that did as you ask, online or not that accepted someone under the age of 18 were sued and some even charged with child endangerment and such. ITs also a law in many states that you can not teach a minor/child any religion without consent from parents/gaurdians, why would they risk going to jail to teach you something you could wait to learn? . Same why theres an age limit to protect minors from the 'adult' world. Why don't you be resorcfull like most of us were at your age? I didn't have anyone to learn from, so I got all my information from the web and books. Well mostly books because the web was every limited to me, but still. Learn for yourself and take charge, and don't be so sensitive and defensive. Want to be treated like an adult, act like one and take charge of your life.
Age has nothing to do with gaining knowledge. Some old people have lots of knowledge and flubb it up sometimes. I know young people who are very mature for their age. Legalities aside a coven is not just some club you join to be cool or part of the it crowd. Most legit covens are serious practionars. This is their religion and therefore they take it very seriously. For some covens the wisdom and responsibility that come with being a part of a coven comes only with age.
If you wish to demonstrate the error of such an age limit, demonstrate your maturity by not allowing your youthful outrage to get in the way of your understanding.
Discussing topics such as sex magic, blood magic, etc. is simply not something you do with children. Nevermind the simple fact that most children (and yes, if you are 14 you are still a child) make attempting mature conversation and intellectual debate quite difficult.
"When I was a boy I knew that my father was a complete idiot. But a strange thing happened, the older I got, the wiser he got!"
Mark Twain
I am the same! At 14 I knew everything. Now, at 81, I know very little!
Some covens prefer older members due to maturity. For example, an immature member might pitch a bit of a hissy fit in the forums because they were not accepted into the coven they would like. The solution is simple, find another coven that is geared more to younger members and do your study and gather your knowledge until you are old enough to meet the requirements of your preferred coven.
Look I'm not trying to sound hash, but stop complaining. I read all these posts,and your post's and the others make good points.
Honestly, did you ever think why there is an age limit? Did you ever wonder why your getting declined? Coven's are allowed to have an age limit, and if you can't join it until your say ''16" then don't whine about it.
Covens are legal, and allowed to have limits. Covens talk about things, that are not good for teenagers, or if they allow you..there allowing others. Why accept one person underage? It's a coven, you don't have right to be into, just because your over ahw, or under. You have a right, yes. But anything involved with the craft, people must wait to be accepted or learn until a appropriate age.
Covens discuss things that include various topics. There not being rude, and taking away knowledge. If anything there helping.
I realize you may be mad, but things will happen the way the do. Sorry, but it,s true. Good luck, but it's not doubting or taking knowledge away. It's legal, to do this.
Oh yeah coven that teach advanced part of magick are not for us teens. Only for advanced people of high experience. Or dangerous magick like blood magick demon summoning etc. this is why the coven is for 16 above. It's for reasons like this. As I said respect the age limit.
