Minecraft Attack of the B-team Witchery Mod, Coven issues?

Hi, I have been playing b-team for quite a while and have got my sights now set on acquiring a coven for advanced rites and spells. I think I have done everything that is needed. I have a seer stone, but when I click on the witches they tell me " You are not skilled in the arts" or " Why do you waste my time?" If anyone knows something I'm missing please tell me, I a really eager to get a full coven.

Try making a familiar. Like a cat or owl. The witches require a certain level of witchery and making a familiar is a sign that you're worthy enough to have them join your coven.

I have tryed making a familiar and I have one now and the coven witch still says you are not skilled in tha art also I'm on a server does this make a difference?

I'm having the same problem I have a familiar and I'm really good at witchery, i think it might be bugged

I had to infuse myself and get a familiar to do it

I'm lost i can't even find out how to make a familiar or make a coven

ME TOO, I'm so annoyed I don't know what's up but it is so not working, I already infused myself! (twice)
