Does anyone follow the Georgian Tradition of Wicca?

Question

Any information is helpful! Thanks ahead of time :+)

Answer 1

Here is some info I managed to get hold of -

"Georgian Wicca was founded by George 'Pat' Patterson in 1970, and was given legal status by the Universal Life Church in the early seventies as the Church of Wicca of Bakersfield. It has been the Georgian Church since the early eighties. It's founder has since passed away, but it is still a highly viable tradition. It is eclectic but heavily influenced by Gardnerian, Alexandrian and Strega (Italian) beliefs with more than a bit of folkloric sources. The anthropological studies behind this are good and well researched. The teachings have a balance between the God and Goddess, but the Lady is the more important of the two. Some of the published information includes this: teaching circles are often by invitation, may or may not work skyclad, combine both religious and magical working, there is heavy emphasis on students researching and writing (thus gaining a better understanding of rituals, workings, celebrations, energy working, etc.) on their own with an awareness of how it affects the student and others in circle with them. There is also emphasis placed upon taking responsibility for your own actions. They have a hierarchy based on a degree system of knowledge (although the degrees are not given outside of covens.) Many things can and are done in teaching circles that may or may not reflect what is done in a tradition's coven although it may reflect the studies of the students."

I am not Georgian, but it does seem a little close to what I do.

Answer 2

I am a solitary (40 years), but am aware of the Georgian Wiccans. They are eclectic, based on the Gardnerian-Alexandrian with a bit of English traditionalist. Lean more toward the Goddess than god-goddess. Generally work skyclad in groups or as individuals. The also write theri own rituals (but then, so do I and I am Pictish). You might do well to research on line, I am not aware of any publictions, but it may be that I have not looked for them.
