Since I'm born a raised wiccian, they think I would make a good head for a coven. But I'm not sure if I want all the work it means. All the members will be old friends, but it means planning meeting, making food, and planning what to do for the evening. Am I being selfish not wanting the hassle???

I don't think you are being selfish at all. You know, if you split the responsibilities between people it would be a lot easier for you. I say think it out more, and research too. You could have it once a month and holidays, and have some one help plan them with you.

not at all, there is a world of differenc ebetween heading informal meetings when it suits you all and running a formal group of any description. After all, if you were born into a family of greengrocers it wouldnt necessarily make you a good Gardener (no pun intended) would it? Some people enjoy leading, some don't.
Why not just head a few informal moots for your friends, but don't formalise it unles you are sure you want all the extra responsibility it entails.

Depends. Do you feel that you should do it, and simply don't want to? Or is it that you realize the responsibility involved, and are not yet sure you are willing/able to live up to it? Leading a group of people spiritually is a great responsibility, so being certain you are prepared to do what is required is proper.
Take your time and make the right call.
Blessed Be. (and, no, I'm not Wiccan, just respectful of others' beliefs)

No, you're not, and sometimes, doing it with old friends can be the worst choice of all. If you aren't ready for the responsibility, politely decline. If you choose to, make sure that, spiritually, you are all on the same page. If not, it could get very ugly. Though you follow the same path, everyone has different quirks and little differences in their beliefs, which can make a huge difference.

I don't think so - it's a lot of work and a lot of responsibility, and also carries a lot of potential for hurt if things don't "go right". You may want to meditate on it and ask the God/dess for guidance as to whether this is what you should do or not.
Are your friends also Wiccan? Or are they looking for you to start a coven so they can become Wiccan?

No not at all. It is a lot of responsibility and you should consider the decision carefully. You might try contacted other coven leader and talk it over with them.

Tell us all about the Mother thing, if you will. I want to know what goes on (or went on) after 2001. Do you have any "private" ceremonies? Are there a lot of you in the Northwest? How about Walnut Creek, Ca? Is it a "secret"?

honey, you are lucky to born wiccan, but this don't make you one. you have to raised into 3* at a coven to start a coven yourself. I think is better to you and your friend to contact your HP/s to join into your mother coven, train, practice and with effort you and he/she will raise to 3*, then you open your own coven.

Be honest and open with them about your feelings of resignation ... perhaps one of them would be willing, or interested, in taking the responsibility of heading the coven instead?

Listen to your inner self. Don't do it. If you are leading a group that contains friends, they won't like it the moment you need to make a decision and everyone will start arguing. It'll turn nasty real fast.
