There have been some good points brought up. I don't think anyone mentioned there are spirtual consequences to practicing Witchcraft, and I don't think that gets stressed enough by followers of the Craft (and I'm guilty of that too). Yes, some people do have bad expirences in Wicca, and other forms of occultism as well. Even if one person tells you they never have had a bad expirence, that doesn't mean you won't. No one can guareentee what you will or won't do or what mistakes you may make when you practice Wicca. This is not a game.
The Good Witch's Bible for instance does come with a disclaimer that the authors are not responsible for what happens to the user, even including spirit possession. That's one reason I reccomend it so much.
This is why I bristle when I see fluffies giving out spells online like candy. They'll mention the law of return (probably learned it from watching Charmed), and then turn around and give out a "an ancient Celtic love spell" that's minutes old. Arrgh.
If you really want to learn Wicca, you have to go to a real coven that practices skyclad (nude) and really has the great rite (tantric sex), and doesn't simply stick a blade in a chalice. If they're scared to take off their clothes, their probably scared of real witchcraft too. If you are not 18 yet, so your parents would have to sign a waiver to let you join a coven (a real coven anyway).
In order to become a Wiccan, you will have to be intiated via the Great Rite by a High Priest. You cannot do this by reading a book or a website (this isn't meant to be mean, it's just reality).
A lot of people will email you and offer to "train" you. Often times these types only know what they read out of a book or a website, and haven't actually been initiated. There are just somethings you have to do in person. So, just keep those things in mind.

I did a search on Google and found that if ask your question there you will find many wiccan churches located throughout the world. Be more specific and choose a direct location and you will get an answer. You can find this answer without using the word coven.

A Church of Wicca? Or one of the other sects of Wicca? Either way witchvox should be able to help you. There are a couple of temples in Cincinnati that are listed as Wiccan Churches, though they aren't specifically Wiccan, they're Pagan (mainly Celtic) but most outsiders view that as Wiccan as that is the main Pagan religion they come in contact with.

Regardless of what SOME men and women (moiraes) might say, what you're doing, which is making an attempt to connect to like-minded men and women, isn't unsuitable. It's human nature to arrive out to people who have identical pursuits and for anyone to inform you you are unsuitable is simply impolite. We are living in an afternoon and age (and if you are within the U.S., the nation to a lesser quantity) wherein we have a good time devout tolerance. Non-Pagans experiencing a few mild anxiousness, questions or matters over your faith is typical however "freaking out" is unacceptable. Regardless of what their faith teaches them, men and women disowning you on the grounds that of your faith option is natural bigotry. You most likely cannot believe reprimanded by means of any individual, so much much less fellow Pagans by means of seeking to discover men and women external your household. Isn't that why dialogue forums, chat rooms, and so forth... are created for? Definitely check out what the others have instructed and move by way of witchvox to discover individuals on your discipline. I'm definite there are different Pagans in this board who're a bit of extra hot and receptive and would not brain listening to from you both. Love and lightweight Blessed Be )zero(

While the others are right about there being few Wiccan "churches," an in-between you might check out would be your local Unitarian-Universalist church. See if they have CUUPS meetings there (Covenant of Unitarian-Universalist Pagans), and through them you can learn more about what's available to witches in your area.

Most Wiccans don't have churches or temples or anything more public than a shrine in the attic. Most of the group rituals are held outdoors.

You can't. There's no such thing. You might be able to find a coven, but more likely you'll have to advertise and start one of your own. Wiccans aren't about worship. They're about spirituality.

www.witchvox.com is a good source of varying types of information... hope it helps you... I've never looked for a "church" as a Wiccan but more like a "coven", but hey, words are empty of inherent existence so I don't care what you seek, so long as it brings you happiness and teaches you altruism.
