Janet Farrar Biography

Janet Farrar is one of the most popular and richest Essayist who was born on June 24, 1950 in Clapham Town, United Kingdom. Janet Owen was born at Clacton, England in 1950. Her family was of mixed English, Irish, and Welsh heritage. They were members of Church of England. She attended Leyton Manor School and Royal Wanstead High School girls’ school. Janet was a model and receptionist after high school.

Before their third degree initiation ceremony, the Farrars started their own coven. They were legally married in 1975 and handfasted in 1972. Janet Farrar, who had left the coven to study Kabbala in a ceremonial magic lodge in 1972, returned the following year. The Farrars left London in 1976 to escape the hustle and bustle of London. They lived in County Mayo, County Wexford and finally settled in “Herne Cottage”, Kells, County Meath. The husband and wife published a variety of books about Wicca religion and coven practices. Farrar continued modeling and was featured in the illustrations of several early Wiccan books, including the cover for Margot Adler’s 1979 Drawing Down the Moon.

They were joined by Gavin Bone in 1993, with whom they entered into a “polyfidelitous relationship”. The three of them would co-author two more books, The Healing Craft and The Pagan Path, an investigation into the many varieties of Neopaganism. Stewart Farrar died in February 2000 after a brief illness. Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone married in a handfasting in May 2001, and then legally married in Northern Ireland (part of Ulster) in March 2014.

After Stewart Farrar’s death, Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone continued to author books, and have given a number of lectures on Wicca in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Italy and in Britain. The title of their 2004 book, Progressive Witchcraft, is the description that the couple prefers for their current religious practice. This was re-released in 2013 as a new edition called Inner Mysteries. Their current area of work is in trance- prophesy, trance-possession and ecstatic ritual and they are currently working on a major book on the subject which they hope to release with Acorn Guild Publishing in 2014. They are also founders of The Alliance of Progressive Covens, which includes linked groups and covens in the United States, Ireland and Italy.

Alex and Maxine Sanders, the founders of Alexandrian Wicca, were her initiators. In 1970, she met Sanders through a friend who was interested in Wicca. Janet went with her friend to keep him “out of this strange cult”, but instead she joined the Sanders coven and became, according to Knowles, “England’s most eminent, respected modern-day witches.” Stewart Farrar was her future husband and coauthor.

Farrar also posed for many of the photographs in their 1981 Eight Sabbats for Witches, which included material the authors claimed to be from the Alexandrian tradition’s Book of Shadows.
