UK City Groups and Covens
The Wiccan Federation
The purpose of the Wiccan Federation is to facilitate the active practice of Wicca and to provide training. The Federation has a significant network of city based groups around the UK. The covens that are part of this network typically work within these city groups . Our definition of Wicca is that people self define as Wiccans and accept the Wiccan Rede, ‘an it harm none do thy will’
Our specific goals in relation to the local groups are as follows
Our objective is to provide support for those looking to join Wicca wherever they are based in the UK. We have establish dedicated Wiccan based groups around the country and support them through a central organisation. We are non denominational and have initiates of the main Wiccan traditions that are active in the UK in our network.
We currently base our activities around the following cities: Southampton, Brighton, Colchester, London, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle and Edinburgh. All of these areas are supported currently, providing a basic level of coverage for most of the UK. We seek ultimately to have a group within an hour's drive of any city or town within the UK with a population of 70,000 or more. Where we have strong organisers we will establish additional local groups.
