Witchcraft Coven in My Area In recent years, I have become aware of a witchcraft coven that exists within my local community. This revelation has sparked my curiosity and led me to inquire further into their practices, beliefs, and the role they play in modern society. The witchcraft coven, known as **[Name of Coven]**, is a close-knit group of individuals who gather regularly to engage in rituals, spellcasting, and the exploration of esoteric knowledge. While witchcraft has often been portrayed as dark and malevolent in popular media, my interactions with members of this coven have revealed it to be a deeply spiritual and empowering practice. One of the key aspects of the coven's beliefs is the worship and reverence of nature. They view the natural world as a source of wisdom and power, and strive to align themselves with its rhythms and energies.

Rising Star Cole Sibus - In His Own Words
Cole Sibus loves to keep busy. As a long time Special Olympics Southern California athlete, he plays softball and swims, and represented New Jersey as a swimmer at the 2014 USA national games. He is putting his teamwork and endurance skills to good use as one of the stars on the new, ABC hit television show, Stumptown. By landing a role as a working actor, or even by working at all, Cole is defying the odds. In the U.S., only 44% of adults ages 21-64 with ID are employed compared to 83% of those without ID.

On Stumptown, Cole plays Ansel Parios, younger brother to the main character Dex. Dex is a private investigator struggling with PTSD. In a refreshing departure from Hollywood’s stereotypical portrayal of people with intellectual disabilities, Ansel, who has Down syndrome , is depicted first and foremost as a brother and a friend who works at his family’s bar.
As of this posting, the show has aired three times. The early positive reviews keep the cast busy with promotions and interviews between being on set. With all that going on, Cole hasn’t forgotten his roots and even gave a shout-out to Special Olympics in his official cast bio . He recently took some time to answer questions about his experiences on the show.
Tell us about your acting career.
When I was little, my sister made home videos and my mother convinced her to let me be in some. Later on, I auditioned for the show Born this Way. I got on the show and got interested in auditioning. So, I auditioned for movies and got a role in Spare Room. I auditioned for Stumptown three times. The final audition was between me and two other fine actors and I was chosen for the role of Ansel.
Are there any similarities between being an athletes and an actor?
I love both! I love getting out of the house and staying busy. I love meeting people and working as a team. Just like in sports, I have an acting coach to help me get better.
What is the best part about playing Ansel?
It’s a lot of fun. I get to work in a bar and I get to play soccer, two things I didn’t do before. Working in a bar is a lot of work. On the show, I clean the tables and take out the trash. I also get to meet new people every day and make new friends.
How do you and your co-stars achieve such great on-screen chemistry?
Before we started taping the show, we all went out to dinner together. We attended Comic-Con in San Diego together to do interviews and promote the show. We got to hang out a lot at that time. It was a lot of fun.
Are your co-stars learning anything from you?
They are learning that people with disabilities can be good actors too and that I am the same as everyone else. I help them stay positive. I hope people with disabilities can learn this from me: they can go on auditions and get into acting like I did.
Are you learning anything from your co-stars?
I’m learning a lot. Cobie Smulders (plays Dex) helps me stay focused on set. We go back and forth learning lines. Jake Johnson (plays Grey McConnell) helps me with improv. And, Adrian Martinez (plays Tookie) is helping me to learn to trust myself as an actor.
You and your character have Down syndrome but it’s not the focus of your character. Tell us about that.
Stumptown focuses on what I can do, not what I can’t do. The role is about Ansel’s heart and personality, not his disability.
Will we learn more about Ansel as the season continues?
Yes but you’ll have to watch and see!
What does the future hold for you?
I’d like to continue acting. And, I’d like to become the first Calvin Klein underwear model with Down syndrome. I’m working out to get in shape!
Watch Cole on Stumptown Wednesdays at 10pm on ABC.

1. John Smith - 1 star -
I was extremely disappointed with the Witchcraft coven in my area. I joined with high hopes of connecting with like-minded individuals and learning more about the craft, but I found the experience to be lacking in every aspect. The members were unfriendly and unwelcoming, making it difficult to feel comfortable and engage in discussions. The rituals and ceremonies lacked depth and authenticity, feeling more like a superficial performance rather than a spiritual experience. Overall, I left feeling unfulfilled and I would not recommend this coven to anyone seeking a genuine and meaningful witchcraft community.
2. Emily Thompson - 2 stars -
While I appreciate the effort put into organizing the Witchcraft coven in my area, I was left feeling underwhelmed by the entire experience. The gatherings were often disorganized, with poor communication regarding dates, times, and locations. The leaders lacked knowledge and expertise in witchcraft, often providing incorrect or misguided information. Additionally, the group dynamics were cliquey and exclusionary, making it difficult for newcomers to feel included. Although I appreciated the opportunity to connect with other practitioners, I would not recommend this coven to those seeking a well-structured and knowledgeable witchcraft community.
3. Samantha Johnson - 1 star -
I had high hopes when I joined the Witchcraft coven in my area, but unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. The leaders seemed more interested in creating a social club rather than providing a space for spiritual growth and learning. The rituals were insincere and lacked intention, making them feel like empty gestures. The members were narrow-minded and unaccepting of different practices and beliefs, which contradicted the very essence of witchcraft. Ultimately, I found no value in being a part of this coven and would not recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and inclusive witchcraft community.
