Hmm, just out of curiousity, how long have you been practicing? What Tradition did you train in and what Tradition are you a High Priest of now? Is your coven a Traditional Wiccan coven or a more eclectic one? How many members do you have, how many have you trained, and how many have you initiated.
Sorry to ask so many questions, but anyone who is looking for training from someone saying they are Wiccan should be asking these questions before they accept someone as a teacher.
Ok!! I'm 16 and i've been practising from the age of 9 (my aunt is a Wiccan) ! I ve been practising both of Wiccan Traditions ( Alexandrian and Gardnerian)! From the age og 11 i belong in a coven og Greece named "The Witching Hour" This coven is traditional cause my aunt's family built it years ago! With me we are 18 people at the coven!! Last year the chose me as the High Priest bacause of my Education and Knowledge! I have trained 7 peolpe of our coven and 1 of my cousins!
Congratulations on making High priestess of your aunts coven.
Just a few things I seemed to pick up from your reply..your wording and the way you seem to write suggests you seem very defensive.
Do you feel the need to defend yourself due to others doubting you because of your age?
Might I suggest you believe in yourself more and accept that others will be curious of your teaching and ask questions regarding them. Your aunt entrusted you to run the coven because she has faith in you :)
I wish you well and every success on your continued journey.
Thank you very much for your support Ephedrine!!!!
Well here in Greece things about Wicca and Witchcraft has another form!!! Greeks believe so much at Jesus and that makes them denied all of the other religions! In my case , im the only person in my closer family who is Wiccan and believe in Witchcraft! My mother , my father and my sisters are Christians!!! Of course you understand the difficulties!

"Ok!! I'm 16 and i've been practising from the age of 9 (my aunt is a Wiccan) ! I ve been practising both of Wiccan Traditions ( Alexandrian and Gardnerian)!"
I have to question this statement that you made. The only way that one can become either an Alexandrian or a Gardnerian is through initiation into an Alexandrian or a Gardnerian coven by another properly initiated Alexandrian or Gardnerian witch. And no legitimate Alexandrian or Gardnerian coven will initiate anyone under the age of 21 for some very specific reasons.
Did you undergo such an initiation? Or are you saying that you are Alexandrian or Gardnerian because you used some of the on-line so-called Alexandrian or Gardnerian Books of Shadows? If it is the latter then you are neither Alexandrian or Gardnerian and really should not refer to yourself as being so because it isn't accurate.
