If you're speaking here on SOM, currently no new covens can be created. You can join and possibly lead one, but that's about it.

It would all depend on whether you are planning on starting one within Spells of Magick or outside.

Within Spells of Magic no one is able to create a new coven, this is for many reasons:

• There is already a wide range of covens open to members
• There are currently inactive covens within the list.
• Opening more covens can lead to more being inactive and covens that are too similar, or with very few numbers.

For starting a coven outside of Spells of Magick there are a few guidelines that need to be followed for legal reasons:

• Often (depending on country or state), you would need to be of legal age.
• You couldn't accept members below this legal age and teach them/teach eachother.
• You would need to have the knowledge and practice necessary to be the leader of a coven, for many this takes decades to acheive.

All this being said if you are interested in a group of likeminded people I am sure there are many friendly groups on facebook and friendship groups on this site and others. if you are interested in joining a coven rather than making one on this site there are many amazing covens open for applications.

For outside Spells of Magick there are many real world covens that you may find close by, there are many listied on WitchVox.
