The New Forest coven were an alleged group of witches who met around the area of the New Forest in southern England during the early 20th century. According to his own claims, in September 1939, a British occultist named Gerald Gardner was initiated into the coven and subsequently used its beliefs and practices as a basis from which he formed the tradition of Gardnerian Wicca. Gardner described some of his experiences with the coven in his published books Witchcraft Today (1954) and The Meaning of Witchcraft (1959) although on the whole revealed little about it, saying he was respecting the privacy of its members. Meanwhile, another occultist, Louis Wilkinson, corroborated Gardner's claims by revealing in an interview with the writer Francis X. King that he too had encountered the coven an

  • Kowen New Forest – kowen praktykujący czarostwo, który miał spotykać się w regionie New Forest w Anglii. Gerald Gardner twierdził, iż był inicjowany w tej właśnie grupie przed napisaniem Współczesnego czarownictwa (Witchcraft Today), książki opisującej wierzenia i praktyki czarownic, która potem stała się podwaliną Wicca. Niektórzy historycy twierdzą, że kowen New Forest nigdy nie istniał i był wytworem wyobraźni Gardnera, podczas gdy inni przytaczają argumenty dowodzące, iż kowen był jak najbardziej realny. Najwyższą kapłanką kowenu miała być Dorothy Clutterbuck. (pl)
  • Der New Forest Coven war ein Coven, eine Gruppe von Hexen und später Wiccas, welcher sich im Gebiet des New Forest in Südengland bis ins 20. Jahrhundert traf. Laut eigenen Angaben wurde der britische Okkultist Gerald Gardner im September 1939 in den Coven initiiert. Er nutzte die Traditionen des Coven um nach Abschaffung des Verbots der Hexerei in England im Jahre 1951 die Öffentlichkeit über das Hexentum zu informieren und formte dabei eine neue Bewegung, die später als Gardenisches Wicca den Grundstein für das moderne Hexentum und die Bekanntwerdung von Wicca legte. In seinen Büchern Witchcraft Today (1954) und The Meaning of Witchcraft (1959) berichtete Gardner über einige Erfahrungen, die er im Coven sammeln konnte, ging aber nicht genauer auf bestimmte Dinge ein, um nach eigener Aussa (de)

  • La cosiddetta New Forest Coven fu il coven dove Gerald Gardner venne iniziato al culto della Wicca nel settembre del 1939. In alcune sue lettere a , Gardner stesso la definì anche come Southern Coven, per distinguerla da un'altra coven localizzata più a nord. Era formata da un gruppo di neopagani che si riunivano negli anni '30 e '40 nella zona della New Forest (da cui il nome) nel sud dell'Inghilterra, in particolare nel villaggio di Highcliffe, dove lo stesso Gardner risiedette per un certo periodo. Lo scrittore Philip Heselton nelle sue biografie su Gardner riesce a ricostruire diversi fondamentali momenti che precedono l'ingresso di Gardner in questo gruppo e soprattutto riesce a fornire un quadro sui diversi aderenti: Edith Woodford-Grimes ("Dafo" la probabile iniziatrice) e sua figli (it)
