Our Coven has 13 Milestones to celebrate learning and progression.
These milestones are not time specific. Setting a time frame on a milestone does not automatically guarantee you have reached that milestone when the time comes and it is naïve to assume everyone is going to learn at the same pace. its not a race. it is also not right to hold someone back if they have worked hard and progressed.
Our 13 Milestones.

Neophyte
Novice
Apprentice
