A team of witches is called a coven. A coven typically consists of a group of witches who come together to perform magical rituals, hold meetings, and share their knowledge and experiences. The term "coven" is derived from the Latin word "convenire," which means "to come together." In modern witchcraft, covens are often seen as a supportive and communal space where witches can practice their craft, learn from one another, and worship their specific deities or spirits. Covens can vary in size, with some being small and intimate, while others may be larger and more structured. The members of a coven often work closely together, utilizing their individual strengths and abilities for the collective benefit and growth of the group.

The coven may have a leader, known as a High Priestess or High Priest, who guides and organizes the group's activities. Many covens follow a specific tradition or path of witchcraft, such as Wicca, and adhere to certain rituals, beliefs, and ethics.
The Pyramid and the crystal skull.
Was there really a crystal skull placed in the top of the Pyramid?
It’s Memphis’ weirdest urban legend: Soon after the Pyramid was opened in the early 1990s, someone found a box containing a crystal skull attached to the apex of the arena. The story periodically bounces around the internet, and was picked up by InfoWars’ Alex Jones as proof of the existence of a sinister Illuminati conspiracy.
According to Tom Jones (no relation to Alex), it is true — just not the Illuminati part. In 1992, Jones worked in the office of Shelby County Mayor Bill Morris. The public/private partnership between the city and county and developers Sidney Shlenker and John Tigrett had collapsed, leaving the governments holding the bag on a half-completed arena of questionable utility.
“We were put in charge of putting it back together,” says Jones. “We were renegotiating all the contracts, trying to get the building open in time for the first event. It was a pretty chaotic time.”
Soon after the arena’s opening, Jones recalls, “The company that managed the Pyramid called and said they had found a box at the top of the Pyramid, welded to the superstructure. ‘You want to come over and see us take it down?’”
Jones and four other people climbed the stairs to the glass top of the building where a maintenance man named Joe went up on a ladder and pried the box loose. “Then we took it back down to a conference room, inside the Pyramid, to open it.”
Paul Gurley from the city mayor’s office opened the box. “Inside the metal box was this blue velvet box, kind of a hinged box.”
When the velvet box was opened, a burst of dust flew out that smelled like incense. Inside, covered by a velvet cloth “… was this little skull. It was made out of crystal, and was about the size of your fist.”
The find baffled all present. “Why had someone put it there? What was the belief that led them to put that there? What did they think was going to happen as a result of it being there?”
Jones was put in charge of the skull. “I took it over to the Shelby County administration building, now, the Vasco A. Smith administration building, and locked it up in a safe in the finance department.”
Soon, Jones learned that Isaac Tigrett, founder of the Hard Rock Cafe and House of Blues, was responsible. Tigrett was a devotee of Indian guru Sathya Sai Baba, whom he credited with saving his life after a serious car accident. Baba had given Tigrett the skull along with specific instructions on how it should be aligned. “He had it affixed up there because of the cosmic impact it could have at the top of the Pyramid.”
When Tigrett heard that the skull had been removed, he reportedly said, “They have no idea what they have done.”
Tigrett immediately asked that the skull be returned, but Jones disagreed. “The contract we had with Shlenker and Tigrett said anything that was permanently affixed to the building became the property of city and county government. So, I took the attitude that it was now property of local government. I don’t know exactly what I thought we were going to do with it — probably send it to the Pink Palace.”
The Tigrett family appealed to then-Mayor Bill Morris, who eventually relented. “After a while, I got a call from the head of finance, saying, ‘Just wanted you to know, the mayor told us to turn the skull back over to the Tigretts.’ So, it went back to where it had come from.”
Although the unboxing was allegedly captured on video, and the skull photographed, no authenticated images of it are known to survive. Inquiries to Isaac Tigrett regarding the skull were not returned. But something else Tigrett said has stuck with Jones for 30 years. “He also said, ‘Well, they found one of them.’” — Chris McCoy
