Coven of Midnight’s Flame (CMF) is a coven of women practicing the Midnight Tradition of Wicca in Los Angeles/North Hollywood. Our members come from all over Hollywood, Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, the San Fernando Valley and other surrounding areas. We accept membership from those who are 21 or over and consider themselves a woman. The Midnight Tradition is a traditional, hierarchal Wiccan tradit
ion, however, we do not worship gods and goddesses from one pantheon alone. All Coven of Midnight’s Flame rituals follow the structured Midnight Tradition liturgy, though the content of the ritual varies depending on the Sabbat, Esbat, or need of the ritual. Outside of ritual, the core goals of the Midnight Tradition are to practice unconditional love for the world and all of its beings, to create a deep familial bond within each coven and among all covens of the tradition, and to foster not only the spiritual growth of our practitioners, but also their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. We believe deeply in the mind-body connection and, therefore, adopt a holistic view of our evolution and growth as people. We celebrate the eight Sabbats of the Wheel of the year as well as all Full Moon and some New Moon Esbats. Following the Wiccan Rede, “an it harm none, do as thou will,” as well as the Law of Return, we strive always for the magick we practice to come only from a place of pure love. Covens in the Midnight Tradition are made up of two courts, an Inner Court of Initiates and an Outer Court made up of Dedicants. We also have a congregational group called Seekers for those who are not able to make the commitment required of our Dedicants and Initiates. Because of the intimate nature of a group such as this, we typically do not invite people to rituals until they have attended several of our monthly meetings and have gotten to know the members of our group. If you are interested in learning more about our group and possibly being invited to our next monthly meeting, please contact High Priestess Aislin ([email protected]) for more information. We also have recently started a more social pagan group called Los Angeles Pagan Alliance (LAPA). This group may be of interest to those who are looking to meet like-minded pagans in the area, but are not interested in joining a coven. LAPA is open to both men and women as well. If you would like to learn more about LAPA, please see below:
The Los Angeles Pagan Alliance (LAPA) is a group created to serve the pagan community of the Los Angeles area. Based on the Boston Pagan Alliance (which one LAPA moderator was in for many years), the Los Angeles Pagan Alliance is designed to be a group with an online community as well as regular in-person meetings at least once a month. Members may join and participate in the online portion of this group only or may choose to come to our in-person meetings as well. It is totally up to the member to decide their level of participation. This group is open to all men and women 21 and over who consider themselves pagan or pagan-friendly.

About our High Priestess:
Aislin Lumina grew up in Valparaiso, IN, a suburb of Chicago, and was raised a devout Methodist. Aislin always had aspirations of working as a clergy member, but after a falling out with the church when she was a teenager, she sought out alternative religions to attempt to sate her spiritual thirst. She studied Buddhism, Hinduism, and Thelema before finding her true spiritual path as a Wiccan, dedicating herself to the goddess on Litha morning 1998. She helped co-found the Boston Pagan Alliance when she was going to school and living in Boston, MA. She moved to Los Angeles in 2004 to pursue a career in music and joined Coven of the Twilight Moon (CTM) in 2008. In 2012, Aislin hived from CTM, becoming the high priestess of a new coven in the Twilight Tradition. This new coven, Coven of Midnight’s Flame, was created to serve the Los Angeles area. In 2015, Coven of Midnight's Flame left the Twilight Tradition to form a new tradition, the Midnight Tradition of Wicca. Aislin holds a bachelor’s degree in songwriting as well as a master’s degree in counseling psychology. Aislin currently works as an Educational Therapist at a private practice in Toluca Lake, Ca. An animal rights activist and vegetarian, she enjoys taking care of her cats as well as her three iguanas. Her chosen specialties include astrology, dream theory and interpretation, as well as Jungian archetypes. Aislin considers Epona to be her patron goddess. In 2013, she was elevated to 3rd degree.
