DISTRICT MANAGER

Jan

I live in a small market town  called Dursley just south of Gloucester and North of Bristol.  I am married to Rob and between us we have 3 children two boys and a girl and they have produce 8 grand children.  I am retired now but use to work in local media.

My path is Alexandrian witchcraft and I have been in the craft 30 years.  We have had 5 covens hive off from our main coven and most of them are still practising so when we get together for Grand Sabbats they are very big.

I also run a moot which is the 3rd Tuesday of the month at The Old Bell Hotel in Dursley we start about 8.30  upstairs in the function room everyone is welcome. It is a golden opportunity to meet like minded people.

REGIONAL CO-ORDINATORS

BRISTOL(and for what used to be Avon)

Julia

Regional Co-ordinator  - I live in Weston-Super-Mare with my daughters and their partners and many pets. I’m thoroughly enjoying my role of Grandmother to Finn and Freya. My path is random and winding. A true Libran, I flit from subject to subject, rarely settling long enough to learn anything thoroughly but picking up a lot of useful information on the way. I’m interested in and enjoy all aspects of Paganism from the high ritual of the Golden Dawn to the wild natural magic of the woods. I love to read, particularly ancient history, anthropology and religion – This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

DORSET AND WEST HAMPSHIRE

Woven

I am a practising Hedgwitch. My work is normally solo, however I join with members of my family to celebrate the wheel of the year. I would say I have a "do-it-yourself" approach to my rituals- I generally collect things from the woods/fields/sea/walks prior to a ritual to use as symbols of the elements and god/goddess. I would for example plant something, cook something, make an item of clothing or a gift as part of my rites. I work a lot with natural magic although I am led and inspried by instinct rather than reading a script from a book/internet. I have an ever-evolving relationship with the Goddess and am always looking to find out as much as I can about her/she/them! My rituals and beliefs are very Goddess centred, often with the festivals we will choose a particular Goddess to focus on and the ritual with be centred around her.

I am looking forward to having this opportunity to meet new friends, have new experiences and learn new things! Goddess Bless.

GLOUCESTER

Marie & Phil

In daily life, Phil runs a small specialist building firm, and Marie is a Librarian. We have 3 young children and spend a lot of summer weekends at various British castles doing medieval re-enactment. Our Pagan path is mainly craft, and we run the CraftWheel Wicca study group as well as our own group
We are happy to have the opportunity to represent Gloucestershire for the PF, and would like to thank the previous Glos RCs for their hard work. We hope to increase opportunities for Pagans around Gloucestershire to meet up and share celebrations and social events and look forward to hearing from local members about what kinds of things they would like to see organised. If we do not hear from you we won't know what you want! We also look forward to speaking with those who run moots and groups of all pagan paths, so that we can increase people's awareness of the wide spectrum of Paganism in Glos'shire, and the opportunities to meet up and share! Feel free to email us on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , or write to us care of the PF. Blessings!

SOMERSET

Vacant. Due to many commitments Yarrow has had to stand down as Somerset RC, we are currently looking for a replacement. If you are a member of the PF and live in Somerset, consider whether you could please spare a couple of hours a week to help make your local pagan community an active and vibrant one!

Events Organisers

Adrian & Ann Bryn-Evans,

Before moving to Wells in Somerset two years ago we lived in Redruth, Cornwall and were the District Administrators for PF Devon & Cornwall and helped Levannah Morgan with organising the Conference. You will find our names closely connected with the Museum of Witchcraft and the Annual Witchcraft Seminar and we have been involved in the Craft for nigh on 30 years now

Our path is that of the hereditary witch although we are members of the British Druid Order and Adrian was knighted into the Loyal Arthurian Warband some time ago. We have four boys whose ages span between 34 and 22 and who have all been brought up in and around the Craft

The group, or coven, that is the House of the Old Ways is small, at present, but we have found in the past that it’s not the size of the group but the strength and commitment of those in it

Treasurer

I am a hereditary witch 3rd generation that I know of. Not sure of family history further back than this.
I am a mother and grandmother, a role I thoughly enjoy. My children are following in the craft and together with friends we enjoy celebrating the wheel of the year. Amongst my interests are herbal remedies and healing, leading journey meditations, painting, sewing, pirographing and playing an assortment of musical instruments. I enjoy spending time with like minded people and having the chance to learn from each other and make new friends. 

Newsletter & Website

Catherine Silverbirch

I have previously represented the PF on the Stonehenge Round Table.  My pagan path is mainly druidic, with a lot of witchy influence. I meet regularly with a group of local pagans of various paths to celebrate the seasonal festivals. As we are mostly parents, we meet up with our children for picnics, too! I wish I had more time and opportunity to get out to the moots around the region, but with the children it's easier to stay at home so I help out with the website and newsletter that I can do here.
