Bricket Wood coven

The Bricket Wood coven, or Hertfordshire coven was a coven of Gardnerian Witches founded in the 1940s by Gerald Gardner. It was notable for being the first coven in the Gardnerian line, though having its origins in the pre- Gardnerian New Forest coven. The coven formed after Gardner bought the Fiveacres Country Club, a Naturist club in the town of Bricket Wood, Hertfordshire, southern England, and met within the club's grounds. It played a significant part in the history of the neopaganreligion of Wicca. Many important and influential figures in Wicca were members of the coven, including Dafo, Doreen Valiente, Jack Bracelin, Frederic Lamond, Dayonis, Eleanor Boneand Lois Bourne. The coven is still active today, though it maintains secrecy and its history is only known up until the 1970s
