The Llewellyn Encyclopedia

Term: Parting of the Ways

DEFINITIONS

Parting of the Ways:

A description of a person leaving a coven under positive terms. This may be due to a person moving or because he or she doesn’t get along with a person in the coven. There may be a ritual to mark this parting. The person who parts is still considered a member of the tradition, just not a member of a specific coven.
