The Stelle Witch Coven is a witches coven that is located in Palm Springs, California. The coven is run by magic user Jaclyn Terwilliger. It is considered to be a large group. In The Indigo Spell, Sydney Sage has joined the coven after embracing the path of becoming a witch, which in turn puts her against the Alchemists.
History[]
The Coven contains members that have magical powers, otherwise known as a 'witch' or a 'Magic User.' According to Jaclyn Terwilliger, the coven originates in Italy, and some of their magic contains other languages and ideals from different cultures.
Initiation[]
Any person wishing to join must go through an initiation. They must find themselves a magical name that the person can be called by at the gatherings of the coven. Once the witch or magic user has gone through initiation, she then becomes a member of the coven.
Sydney Sage was trying to find a magical name when reading a baby name book at the apartment of Adrian Ivashkov. It is later revealed that Sydney has gone to a coven gathering later that night.

Bloodlines Series[]
Bloodlines[]
The Coven isn't seen or mentioned throughout Bloodlines. But Jaclyn sees that Sydney Sage, an Alchemist possesses magical abilities; to this end, she gives Sydney an amulet, which later saves her and Adrian from two Strigoi and Lee Donahue at Keith's apartment. This confirmed to Jaclyn that Sydney had the abilities of a witch.
The Golden Lily[]
Similar to that of Bloodlines, the coven is neither mentioned nor seen in any part. Though Jaclyn is trying to influence Sydney to embrace her magical abilities but only reaching a confrontation, Sydney did use a Locating Spell to find Sonya Karp, who had been kidnapped by the Warriors of the Light.
The Indigo Spell[]
The coven is mentioned in The Indigo Spell, and Sydney is finally given a name. Jaclyn tells Sydney that the coven is called Stelle, which means "stars". Later on, a coven member named Alana Kale was attacked and comatose without her youth or abilities, as these were taken by Alicia. The coven is said to have a list of the young girls in their area that have magical abilities.
At the end, Alicia attacks both Jaclyn and Sydney, as she mainly wanted Jaclyn, but she escaped after a long fight. Instead, Alicia takes on Sydney and Adrian Ivashkov, but she is defeated when Sydney attacks her with a few spells before Alicia can harm her. Sydney then agrees to embrace her witch side and decides to meet with the coven and officially become a member.
The Fiery Heart[]
At the beginning, Sydney is seen reading a baby-name book as she tells Adrian that she has to find a magical name that the witches will call themselves during the gatherings of the coven. That night, Sydney attends the initiation part of her joining the coven. At the gathering, Sydney is made a member of the four elements of the world: fire, water, earth, and air. She chooses the name Iolanthe to be her witch name, and the coven also gives her a ceremonial cloak to wear on their important ceremonial days. The group knows an important and powerful witch, Inez, who gives people very important but secretive messages. Jaclyn tells Sydney that she will arrange a meeting with Inez.
